Rookie star Quartararo, riding for the first time since Sunday's big accident at Silverstone, had been quickest in the morning session with a 1m 33.539s. Marquez then beat that time at the start of the afternoon session, which runs from 2pm to 6pm.
Dovizioso - who also suffered a concussion in the same incident as Quartararo - began testing at 3pm, while Oliveira called a halt after just two laps 'in order to recover 100% for the upcoming race' following the collision with Zarco at Silverstone.
Lorenzo also concluded the test early to continue his recovery ahead of the GP on September 13-15 after experiencing some pain during 31 laps this morning.
Suzuki rookie Mir is making his return from injury, while the range of technical developments are set to include an updated version of Yamaha's 2020 prototype, first seen at Brno earlier this month.
Michelin has brought the same tyres as for the upcoming San Marino MotoGP, plus a new medium rear and new medium front tyre.
Testing takes place from 9:30am to 6pm, with a lunch break from 1-2pm…
