English duo Oliver Fisher and Eddie Pepperell share the lead by two shots, at 16-under-par, after Saturday's third round of the European Tour’s Qatar Masters at Doha Golf Club.

Fisher's round consisted of birdies on the third, fifth and eighth and he followed that up with five more gains on the 11th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th while dropping his only shot of the day at the 12th.
Countryman Pepperell birdied the first, fifth and seventh on the front nine then followed that up with more birdies on the 10th, 13th, 16th and 18th, also dropping his lone shot on the challenging par-4 12th.
