With warm-up just ten minutes long, a frantic session continued as the top three once again changed.
Looking to build on his race one success, Glenn Irwin went quickest shortly before O’Halloran put his McAMS Yamaha on top.
After an impressive race one, BMW rider Andrew Irwin joined his brother inside the top five by going fourth.
To no one’s surprise, lap times remained extremely close at the front - O’Halloran, Rory Skinner and Danny Buchan were separated by just +0.082s with under a minute to go.
The top three remained unchanged, while race one podium finishers Kyle Ryde and Bradley Ray moved into the top five late on.

Glenn Irwin dominates British Superbike qualifying and race one!
Irwin produced a defensive masterclass to pip Ryde and Ray to the first Bennetts British Superbike win of the year.
After securing the first pole of 2022 thanks to a new lap record, Irwin led into turn one from both Rich Energy OMG Yamaha riders.
Struggling off the line was British Superbike returnee Leon Haslam, as the 2018 champion went from fifth to tenth.
As Ray made a move on his team-mate Ryde for second, Haslam’s first race back ended early following a technical problem on lap six.
Fourth and showing the ability to keep pace with the front three was Rory Skinner - wasn’t the case for Jason O’Halloran and Christian Iddon, who were involved in a tussle for fifth that was costing the pair time to the leaders.
Following Haslam’s early retirement, IForce BMW rider Dan Linfoot was next in encountering issues as he slowed on the exit of turn one.
With 13 laps gone Skinner began losing touch with the front three as Irwin kept up a searingly hot pace.
Repaying the favour from lap three, Ryde then made his way back past Ray for second place on lap 19.
Although the National circuit makes up just a quarter of the traditional Silverstone layout’s length, tyre preservation remained key in the battle for victory.
The top three continued to stretch clear as Skinner became the first to significantly struggle with grip.
While Irwin remained the leader, fellow Honda Racing UK rider Ryo Mizuno retired with two laps to go.
Despite intense pressure from both Ryde and Ray over the final two laps, Irwin held strong for the first win of the 2022.
