Levy only had one hole to play after Friday's postponement. He managed par on the par-four 18 to close out the round with a score of 63.
But it was Swede Jonzon who was drawing the attention on Saturday. A splendid second shot got him out of trouble at the par-four 16 and helped him to a crucial par.
The European Tour official site relayed highlights of the shot:
Jonzon made the most of the break, hitting a birdie on the par-three 17. A par on the 18th left him four shots shy of leader Levy.
Jonzon's excellent second round was summed up by these impressive numbers:
Austrian Bernd Wiesberger was one player determined to pile the pressure on the top two. An eagle on the 10th was the highlight of his round:
But bogeys at the 12th and 14th hinted at the erratic nature of Wiesberger's overall play. He recovered with a run of par on each of the next three holes before finishing with another par, this one on the 18th.
Still, Wiesberger remains in a three-way tie for fourth that also includes Martin Kaymer after the German finished the round with five birdies on the back nine.
Fisher managed a quartet of birdies on the back nine, but just two came over the front. More importantly, Fisher produced a bogey free round, making him worthy of third.
The Englishman is now five shots off the lead after scoring 65 in each round.

Yet Levy is looking tough to beat at the moment—he hasn't been thrown by the weather-related disruptions.
His four-shot lead already looks unassailable.
