After winning both SS17 and SS18, Meeke only lost a second to Latvala in the next two stages, both won by Sebastien Ogier.

The leading duo is followed by Craig Breen more than a minute adrift.

The Irishman, who got third after his time was corrected because he was forced to stop due to the crashing Eric Camilli in the morning, is 11.5s ahead of Ott Tanak.

The DMACK driver is narrowly ahead of Hyundai duo Thierry Neuville and Hayden Paddon with Mads Ostberg also not far off.

Andreas Mikkelsen has lost some ground but is only half a second behind Tanak in eighth.

Ogier has recovered from 46th into the top 30 during the afternoon loop but continues to be more than 14 minutes away from the top 10.
