Stopwatch
Meeke goes one tenth slower than Tanak on Sweet Lamb, securing fourth on the stage and conserving the same spot on the leaderboard.
Mikkelsen is a painful 35.8s slower than Ogier through the first split on SS7, while Ogier has now come through the second split in 8m28.2s.
Stopwatch
Tanak is third-fastest on the stage, forfeiting another 2.3s to Ogier - that means the 17.4s now separate the pair overall.
Remember, though, it was on the final two stages of the morning loop that Tanak made up his time earlier.

Tanak will be the next man through on Sweet Lamb, but he appears to have started the stage a minute late. No confirmation of or indication of why that might have happened.
First split time up on SS7 comes in from Ogier. It's a 4m16s.

As Sordo comes in on SS6 to go third fastest on the stage, Sordo starts his second attempt at the longest stage of the day, Hafren.
Before we get Sordo's time in, here's a quick guide to Hafren for the second time today from Latvala:
SS7 Hafren (21.83 miles)
Changing around Hafren has made this one more technical and, for me, more difficult than last year. All the time the road is turning and turning. The road’s in good condition though, it’s a great stage on Rally GB – and one with a lot of history. I like that.

Paddon completes the stage and is 4.5s slower than Hyundai team-mate Neuville on Sweet Lamb, 5.7s on the benchmark.
Stopwatch
Neuville completes Sweet Lamb 1.2s down on Ogier's time.
Like this morning, we're not going to take a time check or summary from Sweet Lamb - with the second run of Hafren set to start in a couple of minutes' time.
Stopwatch
Sure enough, the Norwegian completes the stage and is 26.7s down on Volkswagen team-mate Ogier.
That four-minute buffer between Mikkelsen and Neuville is still in place here. Mikkelsen should be in any second now.
Stopwatch
Ogier completes the stage in 2m53.7s.
Lights green
Off goes Ogier to start the sixth stage of the rally.
Information
Before the second attempt at Sweet Lamb, here's Latvala's guide to the stage:
SS6 Sweet Lamb (2.63 miles)
There have been quite a lot changes to this one, like Myherin and Hafren, we are running the other way around, which means we go across a bridge and up the steep hill away from the spectators. It’s a good stage, but I will be careful after last year!

Without Breen to come, Camilli is the 10th man through and ninth-fastest on the stage, 37.1s slower than Ogier.
Stopwatch
Meeke is now through the finish and 10.7s slower than Ogier.
Quote
Seems as though the same problem that Tanak was complaining about in service is with him here: "We had some problems with the rear. It's changing all the time - I was just trying to manage that."
He was up halfway through the stage, but said he decided halfway through the stage to conserve the car.

Behind him, Meeke has been up at the second split but through the third is now 8.7s down.
Stopwatch
He can't, and instead is third-fastest, 7.4s slower than Ogier.
Ostberg is in, 29.1s off the pace, but all eyes will be on the next man through - Tanak - to see if he can make up any ground.
Quote
Latvala goes second fastest on the stage so far.
"It was much better than the first time but still not easy," he says. "In the regroup you have dry conditions, but you come on Myherin and you just don't expect to have standing water and rain. We lost time in a few places but otherwise it was fine."

Tanak is currently 1.7s up on Ogier through the second split - but suddenly is 4.3s down through the third.

An update from DMACK's flying Estonian...
Stopwatch
Neuville is now in, and his time is 18m15.9s (we're told - no sign of it on the timing screens).
"I tried to stay in the clean line all the time, maybe it was too clean - I don't know."

Stopwatch
Mikkelsen is in and 2m18.2s off Ogier pace. That driveshaft issue is really hurting him.
"Going through a hairpin and then up, it's so, so hard. I just want this day to be over," he says.

A couple of nice green blobs on the timing screen at the moment. Guess who from? Latvala's one, and is 0.6s up at split two, while Tanak is 1.5s faster at the first.

Meeke said during the regroup lunchbreak in Newtown that he had pushed as hard as he dared. He and his engineer calculated in the morning that they'd be 35 seconds down given the conditions, and he ended the morning 32.5 back.
"We're three seconds in the lead," quipped Meeke over lunch, "over ourselves."

Stopwatch
But Ogier comes through the stage end, and records a time of 18m01.4s. That's 5.6s faster than me managed this morning.
Mikkelsen is now 1m44.1s down through the final split.
Sordo, Latvala, Ostberg and Tanak are all on the road now.
Neuville and Paddon have both come through the second split and are 4.9s and 1.7s slower than Ogier respectively at that point.
Ogier is now through the third and final split in 13m11.1s, so just the five miles or so to go until the finish.
