March 13 (Reuters) - Nine-times world champion ⁠Sebastien Ogier slashed Toyota teammate Oliver Solberg's lead in Kenya's Safari Rally to ⁠one second after starting the day more than a minute behind on a ‌dramatic Friday.

Solberg had been 33.3 seconds clear of Welshman Elfyn Evans, the championship leader also in a Toyota, on Thursday night but Frenchman Ogier went on a charge from third in challenging conditions in the region ​around Lake Naivasha.
