Andy Sullivan has registered a third-round score of 68 to take a one-shot lead into the final round of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
The Englishman, who is looking for his fourth tournament win of the season, hit five birdies during Saturday's play, before a two-putt on the final hole saw him remain ahead of Rory McIlroy, who hit eight birdies during a round of 65.
The world number three sits two shots ahead of American Patrick Reed, while Emiliano Grillo and Byeong-Hun An complete the top five.
English pair Danny Willett, who is challenging McIlory for the Race to Dubai crown, and Matthew Fitzpatrick are in a tie for sixth place alongside Thongchai Jaidee.
The top 10 is completed by South African duo Branden Grace and Charl Schwartzel, who are five shots behind Sullivan.
