Charley Hull trimmed Aki Iwai’s lead to two shots with an encouraging second round at the Amundi Evian Championship.

England’s Hull resumed her bid for a maiden major title by carding a one-under 70, featuring three birdies and two bogeys, leaving her joint-second, ahead of the afternoon wave teeing off.

Hull is joined on six under by Atthaya Thitikul after the Thai star stormed into contention with a sensational seven-under 64, featuring an eagle and five birdies.

Overnight-leader Iwai, who shot an opening-round 63 in France, resumes on eight under in the afternoon session, which also features England’s Lottie Woad and world No 1 Nelly Korda.

Woad, who finished tied third in last year’s event while still an amateur, posted a final-hole eagle to card an opening-round 67 and sit four shots behind Iwai.

Korda will hope to get her quest for a career Grand Slam-clinching victory back on track after a stuttering opening-round 74.
