  1. Postpublished at 20:05 British Summer Time 12 August

    Plymouth 0-0 QPR

    Argyle are continuing to have the better of it against this youthful Hoops side but Kornel Szucs and Jamie Paterson have spurned further chances to break the deadlock.

  2. Off the linepublished at 20:04 British Summer Time 12 August

    Northampton 0-0 Southampton

    So close for Northampton.

    Alex McCarthy makes a mess of collecting a cross and it drops at the feet of Jordan Willis just six yards out but Taylor Harwood-Bellis blocks his effort on the line.

  3. CLOSE!published at 20:03 British Summer Time 12 August

    Middlesbrough 0-2 Doncaster

    The Boro fans are letting their team hear how angry they area.

    It's all Doncaster, Jordan Gibson has been everywhere and should really have made it three, ghosting in at the far post to meet Billy Sharp's deep cross but sending his header wide with Tom Glover flailing.

    Gibson has also seen a fierce strike blocked after cutting inside from the left onto his right foot and Alfie Jones was grateful to see appeals for a handball in the Boro box waved away.

    4-0 wouldn't flatter Rovers, and we're 32 minutes in.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:00 British Summer Time 12 August

    Blackburn 0-2 Bradford

    Rovers skipper Sondre Tronstad is beaten down the Bantams right by the lively George Lapslie and hauls down his man near the corner flag, earning himself a yellow card.

  5. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:00 British Summer Time 12 August

    Bromley 0-0 Ipswich

    We are under way in the later kick-off now as well...

    29 ties are up and running. It should have been 30, but Tranmere v Burton has been postponed due to a power cut.

  6. Postpublished at 19:59 British Summer Time 12 August

    Northampton 0-0 Southampton

    A decent free-kick opportunity on the edge of the Southampton box.

    Dean Campbell lines it up for the home side - his first effort is blocked by the wall and the follow up takes a deflection into the welcoming hands of Alex McCarthy.

    The Cobblers have two good sights of goal in the opening stages.

    Some early goals to report.

    Accrington have taken the lead against Peterborough after 30 odd seconds and Mansfield are in front at Chesterfield.

    Jason Knight has put Championship side Bristol City a goal up against League Two MK Dons at Ashton Gate.

    And it's half-time in the sole 19:00 BST kick-off as Swansea are a goal to the good against Crawley.

  8. Postpublished at 19:57 British Summer Time 12 August

    Stoke 0-0 Walsall

    One regulation save from Walsall goalkeeper Sam Hornby to deny Jamie Donley is all we've had so far.

    Hornby is one of 10 changes made by Saddlers' boss Mat Sadler tonight.

  9. Postpublished at 19:57 British Summer Time 12 August

    Plymouth 0-0 QPR

    Bright start from the Pilgrims with Joe Hatch firing over the bar and then 17-year-old tegan Finn jinking his way forward, earning a free-kick, which Jamie Paterson also sends over the target.

  10. CLOSE!published at 19:56 British Summer Time 12 August

    Wrexham 0-0 Hull

    Ohhh how has that stayed out?! Hull are so close to the opener as Ryan Giles whips in a dreamy free-kick from the left, Oli McBurnie gets ahead of his man to meet it on the stretch but his header kisses the outside of the post on its way wide.

  11. Postpublished at 19:55 British Summer Time 12 August

    Coventry 0-0 Luton

    A relatively quiet opening to this one - a shot apiece neither of which have troubled the respective goalkeepers.

  12. CLOSE!published at 19:54 British Summer Time 12 August

    West Brom 0-0 Derby

    It's all West Brom. They force a corner which is just about scrambled wide. The Baggies showing plenty of bounce in these opening minutes.

  13. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 0-2 Doncasterpublished at 19:53 British Summer Time 12 August

    Damola Ajayi (23 mins)

    They probably deserve it, too.

    Some slick approach play from the visitors once again, Jordan Gibson stands up a cross from the left and it breaks to the unmarked Damola Ajayi, on loan from Spurs, who lashes in a first-time shot which deflects past the unfortunate Tom Glover once again.

    You'd never know which was the lower division team who had made 11 changes, if truth be told.

  14. Postpublished at 19:50 British Summer Time 12 August

    West Brom 0-0 Derby

    West Brom have made a bright start, playing the ball confidently around the area before a powerful header from Ousmane Diakite is well held by Josh Vickers in the Rams goal.

  15. Postpublished at 19:49 British Summer Time 12 August

    Northampton 0-0 Southampton

    An early warning for the Championship visitors as Cameron McGeehan bursts through the middle for the home side and Alex McCarthy has to make a sharp save.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Blackburn 0-2 Bradfordpublished at 19:49 British Summer Time 12 August

    Will Swan (4 mins)

    Nightmare for teenage debutant keeper Nick Michalski.

    Having signed a new long term deal today, he's way out of his area to control a loose ball but is closed down quickly by Tyreik Wright who pokes the ball to Will Swan to stride forward and roll into the unguarded net with the England under-18s keeper floundering on the turf behind him.

  17. Postpublished at 19:48 British Summer Time 12 August

    Coventry 0-0 Luton

    Bobby Thomas and Victor Torp retain their places in the Coventry side from the weekend draw with Hull City.

    Luton Town boss Matt Bloomfield has gone the full biffter tonight and made 11 changes to his side.

    Ibou Touray (2 mins)

    Stunner.

    Roberto Carlos, on his best day, would have loved to run-on to a curling deep cross to the back stick and unleash a first-time volley into the bottom corner as Ibou Touray has just done for his first Bantams goal.

    A perfect start for the League One Bantams and Rovers fans are grumbling after barely 90 seconds.

  19. Postpublished at 19:47 British Summer Time 12 August

    Stoke 0-0 Walsall

    Fresh from their opening day win over Derby, Stoke have made nine changes with Bosun Lawal and Million Manhoef included from the weekend.

    Walsall, from League Two remember, have made 10 changes - make of that what you will...

  20. Postpublished at 19:46 British Summer Time 12 August

    Blackburn 0-0 Bradford

    Valerien Ismael has changed eight of the Rovers side which went down 1-0 at West Brom in their Championship opener, with in-demand Sondre Tronstad retained and named captain. There’s a first senior start in goal for Nick Michalski.

    Graham Alexander has also made six changes from Bradford’s stalemate at Northampton, though the half-dozen to drop out are all among the Bantams subs tonight.
