Eugenio Chacarra extended his lead at the DP World India Championship but Rory McIlroy lost ground before the third round was halted because of darkness.

Spain's Chacarra led by one shot at 10 under after two rounds at the weather-hit event at Delhi Golf Club and sits two clear after 11 holes of his third round.

After successive rounds of 67, the 26-year-old birdied four of his opening seven holes to cement his place at the top as he bids to replace American Patrick Reed at the summit of the season-long Race to Dubai rankings.

Fellow Spaniard Angel Hidalgo and the Netherlands' Joost Luisten are his closest challengers at 12 under, with Scotland's Scott Jamieson a shot further back.

Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin is four adrift with defending champion Tommy Fleetwood five back after a four-under 68.

Scotland's Robert MacIntyre is also well placed at eight under with five holes of his third round remaining.

However, McIlroy - who sits third in the Race to Dubai behind Reed and Chacarra - fell 10 shots off the lead after an erratic third round.

Having completed a bogey-free second-round 68 early on Saturday, the six-time major winner birdied his opening hole before dropping four shots in as many holes from the third.

After a birdie on the seventh, McIlroy made back-to-back bogeys on the ninth and 10th before sensationally holing out from the bunker for an eagle three at the 14th.

Reed played the first 13 holes of his third round to sit two shots ahead of McIlroy.

The 2018 Masters champion, who tops the Race to Dubai rankings after early-season victories in Dubai and Qatar, mixed five birdies and a bogey before holing his 150-yard approach shot for a spectacular eagle two at the fourth, having teed off at the 10th.
