Sebastien Ogier continues to lead Rally Sweden despite facing mounting pressure from Hayden Paddon.

Ogier held an overnight lead of 26.9 seconds from Paddon and extended his advantage on Saturday's opening stage to more than half a minute after setting the fastest time in his Volkswagen Polo.

But, later on Saturday, Paddon made the most of the conditions to cut 23 seconds out of the Frenchman to narrow his overall deficit to 8.8 seconds. However, Paddon was third on the stage, behind Jari-Matti Latvala and Kris Meeke.
