Well that was...something. Alonso and Russell collided at the pit entry with the Aston Martin closest to the wall.
The Mercedes cut across to seemingly enter the pitlane, but Alonso was attempting to overtake on the right. It looks as though Russell didn't commit to his line enough and failed to see Alonso coming.

It has been a tough season for Alpine, which is bottom of the constructors' standings. Its drivers are currently 17th and 19th in FP3 and parent company Renault has just appointed a new CEO.
However, Alpine's executive adviser Briatore has confirmed this will have no impact on the F1 project:

After the slow start to the session it is now a busy track with all drivers apart from Norris and Colapinto out of their garages.
The McLaren pair is still 1-2, but Hamilton just rose into third with a lap on the mediums that put him 0.304s off the pace.

Tsunoda nearly had a big accident at the exit of T3 on that push lap. Right over the kerbs, almost into the mud/grass, and had to collect a massive snap.
The Red Bull driver is currently 15th in the times, 1.542s off the pace with 32 minutes remaining.

Hamilton still quite scruffy into Turn 3, riding quite a way up the Aramco branding on the outside before he can get it to turn. Verstappen and the two McLarens a good car’s width further to the inside at that point.

Interestingly, Gasly is the fifth driver to have set a laptime in FP3, but it was on the intermediate tyre meaning he is 11.711s off the pace.
The track was deemed wet at the start of the session, but it was only damp in parts with the clouds having very much cleared.

Antonelli is the only non-hard runner, having set his lap on the mediums.

Finally some cars. Antonelli and Hulkenberg are the only drivers out on track six minutes into the session.
It's a big day for the Mercedes rookie after that error in FP1...

It is no surprise that teams are in no rush to get their cars out on track, given this session is not very representative of the conditions drivers will face for quali and the race.
