Intersection of block 2 with row 2. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R2C4, R2C5 and R2C6 of block 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with row 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of row 2 cannot contain this value.

R2C3 - removing <5> from <1578> leaving <178>

R2C7 - removing <5> from <4578> leaving <478>

R2C8 - removing <5> from <1457> leaving <147>
