He's moved to within a tenth of Verstappen at the top.
Albon is one of the drivers running on the hards and has just gone second, 0.155s off the pace.
Verstappen, Antonelli, Piastri, Leclerc, Norris, Russell, Hamilton, Bortoleto, Doohan and Alonso.
Norris goes second, 0.3s off Verstappen. It proves how quick that lap from Verstappen is at this stage.
He's now set a 1m16.646s to lower the benchmark in FP3.
There's a mixture of soft and hard tyres so far.
A 1m17.298s for Piastri puts him 0.3s ahead of Verstappen. Leclerc's first time of the day puts him fourth overall, 0.5s off.
Verstappen, Doohan, Ocon, Sainz, Norris and Bortoleto.
A 1m17.632s puts him comfortably at the top of the timesheets. It seems Lawson has some sort of technical problem as he returns to the pit lane after abandoning his first lap of the session.
A 1m19.221s for Doohan to put him top of the timesheets, 0.8s ahead of Ocon.
Bearman's car has been cleared and final practice is back underway in Melbourne.
Replays show Bearman tipping his front-left wheel on the grass before turning into the corner. A disastrous couple of days for the British rookie, who missed the whole of FP2 after an earlier crash.
He will be on the back foot ahead of qualifying.

Bearman has beached his Haas in final practice.
