Summary
A battle that already has burst into life is being won by Evans's team-mate Markelov, who has just passed Izawa and Daly for 11th.
Palmer has extended his lead to 0.9s, with a similar gap back between Trummer and Leal.
Yesterday's winner Vandoorne is 23rd after a pitstop for a new nosecone after he clashed with de Jong.
Coletti stalled on the grid and is only just rejoining the race.
The warm-up lap is now underway. Air temperature is 28C, track temp is 51C. Hot stuff indeed.
Stoffel Vandoorne scored a remarkable victory on his series debut yesterday, so will start eighth on the reversed-grid line-up for ART Grand Prix.
Carlin's Felipe Nasr starts on pole and will be looking to kickstart his title campaign after a disappointing run yesterday. He finished second in this race last year, just 0.08s behind Sam Bird.
