Overnight pacesetter James Morrison slipped down the leaderboard after a slow start to the final day at the BMW International Open in Munich as compatriot Chris Paisley moved into a share of the lead.

Morrison, chasing his second European Tour title in six weeks, was two over par after eight holes to fall back to 14 under overall.

Bogeys at the first and fifth, both par-fours, saw the 30-year-old from Surrey drop two shots behind new leaders Pablo Larrazabal and Paisley.

Spaniard Larrazabal had five birdies in his first nine holes and was five under through 10, while Paisley joined him on 16 under as four birdies and two bogeys left him on two under through nine.

Sweden's Henrik Stenson was also on the march, moving on to 15 under for the tournament after going through 13 holes on six under, including an eagle three at the par-five 11th.

Northern Ireland's Michael Hoey was also on 15 under, while Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee was level with Morrison a short further back.
