Script:

The World Rally Championship returned to Poland for Round 7 after a five-year break on Thursday. The latest round of the 2014 championship.

Robert Kubica set the fourth quickest time in stage one but rolled his vehicle in the second stage, losing time while he waited for spectators to put him on his wheels again. He finished 11th.

Andreas Mikkelsen was slower than championship leader Sebastien Ogier in stage one.

However, the Norwegian overtook his French counterpart in stage two to take the lead of the rally - with just 0.4 seconds separating the pair.

Citroen's Kris Meeke claimed third ahead of Juho Hanninen. The British driver is 4 seconds off Ogier in second place.

Juho Hanninen holds fourth.
