James Morrison has a four-shot lead going into the weekend of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
An eagle on the 18th helped the Englishman post an impressive round of 64 to leave him on 12-under-par overall.
Overnight leader David Drysdale continued his good form as a 70 gave him a score of eight-under alongside a comfortable-looking Luke Donald.
Peter Lawrie and Alvaro Quiros are one shot further back, while Justin Rose is one of eight players on six-under.
World number one Rory McIlroy failed to make the cut for the second tournament in a row as a disastrous round of 79 gave him a total of nine-over-par.
Fellow Irishman Graeme McDowell also dropped out of the competition along with Darren Clarke and Nicolas Colsaerts.
