Adrien Saddier dropped out of the lead with a bogey on the 11th but he hits a beautiful shot into the par-three 12th so he'll have a chance at getting that shot right back.

Joakim Lagergren finds the drink, which is a shame after getting back to level for the round on the 11th.

Rory McIlroy is one frustrated man on the 13th green.

Standing over a testing six-footer for par, he backs off twice and lets out a grunt as the wind swirls around him.

He steps back in, takes a look and rolls it in the middle.

It's another par but he stays bogey-free. He needs a few birdies down the closing stretch like he managed yesterday.

OK, so 25 feet or so for a closing eagle for Angel Hidalgo.

No, he didn't like it from the moment he hit it. It's speedy, too, so he's left himself with work to do for the four.

Come on, one last birdie. Yes! In it goes and he punches the air in delight after carding a brilliant nine-under 63 - which included a double bogey and a bogey!

With that closing four, he ties the record for most birdies in a single DP World Tour round with 12. That was great entertainment.

He'll have a great chance to win his second DP World Tour title tomorrow.

Tell you what, when Angel Hidalgo hits his driver, it stays hit.

He gives it an almighty lash on the 18th, with recoil, and it's a beauty.

He absolutely loves his second, too, and I can see why! He's safely on the surface in two and he's going to have a look at eagle for a 62!

With the way he's played today, I'm not putting it past him.

Rory McIlroy's shot into the par-three 12th is all over the flag.

A beautiful approach, but once again his putt stays above ground!

Six pars in a row. He needs to get a move on.

Adrien Saddier goes about his business with little fuss and he's just rolled in his fourth birdie of the day to move back into the lead on his own.

The Italian Open champion is looking good once again.

Rory McIlroy's latest birdie attempt is from the back of the 11th green.

Sixteen feet down the hill. It looks good, but no! It's carrying too much pace and lips out on the right.

It's just not happening for the world number two at the moment.

The wind's gone out of Angel Hidalgo's sails now.

He misses the 17th green right and overcooks his chip slightly.

A big tester for par now, but he makes it! Fair play. A birdie four at the last will give the Spaniard a nice wee Saturday 63.

Adrien Saddier picks up his third birdie of the day to join Angel Hidalgo on 13 under.

He was three behind not long ago. How quickly it all changes.

Rory McIlroy's had a little adventure on the 10th.

He finds the trees down the right with his drive and opts to hack out. It's not the best recovery shot, though, as he's still stuck behind a tree for his third.

He somehow manages to thread the ball through the branches and it trundles nicely on to the green.

But he leaves his birdie putt out to the left!

Five pars in a row. A bit like yesterday, McIlroy is having to stay patient in the middle of his round. He got it going down the stretch yesterday and he'll need something similar over the next couple of hours.

Angel Hidalgo has 40 feet for his par. It's not his best effort and he comes up five feet short.

Now, this bogey putt is big. And that one was never in! A poor stroke and he suddenly cuts a dejected figure after tapping in for a double bogey seven.

A real pity.

Shane Lowry wanted to go low today.

It hasn't quite happened for him and he will sign for a two-under 70 after missing a tiny birdie putt on the last.

He'll need to go birdie crazy a la Hidalgo tomorrow.

Hidalgo from the drop zone.

Hmmm, he doesn't love it, and I can see why.

He's going to have a lengthy putt for a par. It's likely going to be a six, which is a bit of a shame given how beautifully he's played today.

Oh no!

Angel Hidalgo has reached the par-five 16th and decides to give it a crack in two, but he finds the water!

He was thinking of making birdie at least but now he's struggling for par.

Joakim Lagergren has had a rocky front nine but he's back in business with a birdie two at the eighth.

He moves to within four of Angel Hidalgo. It's a par for Adrien Saddier so he stays three back.

Another fairway found for Rory McIlroy. He's driven it exceptionally this week.

He has a short iron into the ninth but he misjudges it. It's well short and gets caught up in a collar of rough. He looks perplexed.

But his short game has been dialled in this week, too, and he nudges his third up to kick-in distance.

Another par. The world number two goes out in 33, as does Alfredo Garcia-Heredia.

I seriously need to find out what Angel Hidalgo had for breakfast this morning.

The relentless Spaniard keeps up his flag-hunting antics with another pearler from the rough into the 15th.

Seven feet for his 11th birdie of the day. Will it drop? It sure does and he leads by three!

He is flying.

Rory McIlroy is eyeing up his shot into the par-three eighth, but it's long.

He has 35 feet for birdie and he's happy to two putt for par.

Two birdies and six pars. He's not shooting the lights out but he's without a bogey since his 17th hole on Thursday. That'll help.

Adrien Saddier is faced with a tricky long putt across the sixth green. He gives it just enough speed for it to reach the ridge, but the ball stops around eight feet short.

And he can't sink the par effort! Angel Hidalgo leads by two.

Well, Angel Hidalgo quickly grew tired of making pars.

He knocks a lovely approach into the 14th and rolls in the putt for his 10th birdie of the day to move one clear of Adrien Saddier!

He's animated, he's passionate, he makes loads of birdies. A future Ryder Cup player perhaps? He's fun to watch, that's for sure.
