Anderson and Baird keep their overall lead at the break, with Martin and Lowry closing the gap, both adding a race win to their scores.
A tenth place in the first race (R5) for Eric Anderson and Nic Baird was discarded, and a race win ahead of Mike Martin and Adam Lowry in the second maintained their daunting overall scoreline . . . 2, 2, 1, 1, -10, 1.
Martin and Lowry continued to chip away at that lead with a win in the first race ahead of Philippe Boite and Marin Carnot of France (2, 7) in the first race and then the second in race 6, put them just two points off the leaders.
Mike Holt and Carl Smit also stayed in the podium group, a 3 and 4 placing them third, now eight points off the leaders but 11 pts ahead of fourth placed Boite and Carnot.
In fifth are the first British pair, Nathan Batchelor and Sam Pascoe (9, 5) with 30 pts, sixth Ian Pinnell and Alex Davies (4, 8) on 32 pts and seventh the USA’s Howard Hamlin and Jeff Nelson (7, 3) with 33 pts.
Friday is a lay day, racing resumes on Saturday 30 September.
