Quartararo and Crutchlow exchange the top spot but the young Frenchman is set to keep P1.

Pol Espargaro briefly took third for KTM with a late flyer, before Morbidelli nudged him down to fourth.

Rossi is still down in P19 (+1.160s) after 51 laps, presumably focussing on finding grip with used tyres.

Cal Crutchlow climbs to third on the timesheets on his 68th lap, just 0.171s behind Quartararo. Marquez still second.

Just over an hour of testing to go and the top seven riders are covered by only 0.367s: Quartararo, Marquez, Rins, Morbidelli, Crutchlow, Lorenzo and Nakagami.

Lorenzo has been back on track after his earlier fall.

Lorenzo crashed at the Jerez MotoGP test. Nothing nasty, just wasting some valuable testing time and a another knock on his confidence. He has seen worse. pic.twitter.com/lMyVjChvgu

Marquez plans to finish testing around 5pm, and not the 6pm track closing time. Will he topple Quartararo by then?

Marquez clocks up his 60th lap, one more than Lorenzo. Both Repsol Honda riders have been busy today.
