19/20: 2 laps to go and this is really heating up! 0.7s covering the top 8, and Dalla Porta is now chasing Suzuki with Antonelli and McPhee just behind.
17/20: Those falls have reduced this lead group to 8! Antonelli had pulled out 0.3s through S3 but he loses it all along the front straight.
17/20: Now Toba and Sasaki have crashed out at T5!
16/20: Fenati has crashed out of 10th place at the final corner with Migno.
16/20: Antontelli has made steady progress and now sits 4th. Team-mate Suzuki has just nabbed 2nd off Arbolino. Dalla Porta still leads.
14/20: Dalla Porta is so fast through the twisty bits, he has enough of a lead to lead across the line.
13/20: The top 17 have all closed up... 2.6s covering them all!
11/20: Dalla Porta runs wide at T12 after nearly banging into Arbolino. He then recovers to out-brake 5 riders (5!) into the final turn to re-take the lead.
9/20: Dalla Porta's attempted break lasted just over a lap. Arb, McP, Bin, Fog, Suz, Can and Ant have all closed back in.
8/20: Dalla Porta holds the lead past turn one. Now can he build that lead up again through sectors 2 and 3?
7/20: Dalla Porta is breaking clear here. 0.6s in hand for the Italian as he comes into the final corner.
5/20: Darryn Binder is having an inspired ride. The South African is sitting 2nd, behind Dalla Porta. Antonelli, who started 18th, posts the fastest lap, and is fighting through from 12th.
