  1. 'Boro pushing up'published at 21:21 British Summer Time 10 April

    Hull 2-1 Middlesbrough

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Tees

    It's an open game in the second half. Hull have had a couple of chances, so have Middlesbrough.

    Boro have certainly pushed up a bit more, Hull have got that lead and have dropped off a little.

    West Brom 2-0 Rotherham

    Chances for Rotherham.

    Firstly, Ollie Rathbone comes close with a snap-shot that whizzes close to the Baggies goal.

    After that, Sam Clucas volleys on from the cusp of the box but it's wide too.

  3. Will Blues survive?published at 21:19 British Summer Time 10 April

    Birmingham 0-1 Cardiff

    Do you think Birmingham are going to escape relegation? They're a point from safety as it stands with four games remaining, but two of those matches are against Rotherham and Huddersfield.

    Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no.

    GOAL: Bristol City 3-0 Blackburnpublished at 21:18 British Summer Time 10 April

    Anis Mehmeti (72 mins)

    Substitute Anis Mehmeti has only been on the pitch for a matter of seconds but he's surely wrapped up all three points for Bristol City now.

    It's another poor defensive mistake from Blackburn, as Dominic Hyam cheaply loses the ball to Mehmeti who fires it past Aynsley Pears into the far corner.

    Bristol City 2-0 Blackburn

    Best chance of the night so far for Blackburn as Sammie Szmodics spins between two Bristol City defenders and does everything right... that is, until he takes his shot and drags it wide.

  6. goal

    GOAL: Birmingham 0-1 Cardiffpublished at 21:15 British Summer Time 10 April

    Josh Bowler (65 mins)

    Huge goal that plunges Birmingham back into the mire and Cardiff are ahead.

    It's Josh Bowler who comes up with the finish, and it was all started by muscular midfield play.

    Cardiff rob the hosts in midfield and Bowler knocks it down the line for sub Rubin Colwill, who returns a perfect pass and the shot is fired near-post past John Ruddy.

    Away end is up. Significant moment against the flow.

  7. Postpublished at 21:13 British Summer Time 10 April

    Hull 2-1 Middlesbrough

    Like a remake of Platoon out there as players chuck bodies about to deny chances.

    Lukas Engel's drive has Hull players throwing themselves out there. Still 2-1. Pot-shot City.

  8. Postpublished at 21:11 British Summer Time 10 April

    Hull 2-1 Middlesbrough

    Abdulkadir Omur puts a cross-shot into the Middlesbrough box, it's blocked but only straight at Jean Michael Seri, who is bravely denied a goal-bound shot by Jonny Howson.

    Boro under the pump. Regan Slater has another effort denied.

    Hull glowing in the second half.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 2-0 Stokepublished at 21:11 British Summer Time 10 April

    Matt Grimes (53 mins, pen)

    Captain Matt Grimes takes no chances and fires his spot kick straight into the roof of the net to put the Swans two goals up.

    It looks like Stoke's night could be as miserable as the weather in South Wales is.

  10. PENALTY: Swanseapublished at 21:10 British Summer Time 10 April

    Swansea 1-0 Stoke

    The Swans have a penalty as Luke McNally clumsily brings down Ollie Cooper on the edge of the box.

    They've got the perfect chance to double their lead here early in the second half.

  11. 'It's Watford's time'published at 21:09 British Summer Time 10 April

    Ipswich 0-0 Watford

    Mick Mills
    Former Ipswich and England captain on BBC Radio Suffolk

    Ipswich have to conjure up an exciting 10 minutes. At the moment, Watford are playing with a bit of desire.

    Watford are a funny side - when it's going their way, they play well but when it's not, they fall apart. At the moment, it's their time and they are enjoying it.

  12. Postpublished at 21:09 British Summer Time 10 April

    Hull 2-1 Middlesbrough

    Ryan Giles - ex-Boro loanee - has been brought on for Hull City and they will know all about his magnificent deliveries.

    First proper chance of the second half goes to Middlesbrough, as Jonny Howson whacks a shot at goal which Ryan Allsop parries.

    It goes straight to Emmanuel Latte Lath but he can't re-arrange his feet to stab home and it rolls away from danger.

  13. Postpublished at 21:08 British Summer Time 10 April

    Ipswich 0-0 Watford

    A nervy moment for Ipswich fans as Yaser Asprilla sends a stormer towards goal and Vaclav Hladky palms it away but it goes loose in the box for a second before one of his defenders clear the danger.

    We've just passed the hour mark and Kieran McKenna looks like he's about to start making some changes.

  14. Postpublished at 21:06 British Summer Time 10 April

    Birmingham 0-0 Cardiff

    No goals to bring you from Birmingham tonight so far.

    Bookings though, we've got a couple of them.

    Perry Ng was carded within two minutes of the restart for Cardiff, while Blues midfielder Krystian Bielik took another seven minutes to incur the wrath of Sam Allison.

    GOAL: Peterborough 2-0 Port Valepublished at 21:05 British Summer Time 10 April

    Harrison Burrows pen (56 mins)

    Harrison Burrows puts Peterborough in full control against Port Vale from the penalty spot.

    After another short corner, Josh Knight was fouled in the area. Burrows steps up and slots home.

    Can Posh sneak into a League One automatic promotion place? They've got two games in hand on second-placed Derby who are currently goalless with Wycombe.

    And, we're back up and running in those 20:00 BST kick-offs, three games in the Championship that is.

  17. 'Lame Ipswich'published at 21:03 British Summer Time 10 April

    Ipswich 0-0 Watford

    Derek Payne
    Former Watford midfielder on BBC Three Counties Radio

    There's pressure on Ipswich. They will know what they've got to do tonight. They've come out of League One and over-performed this season but now it's the business end.

    Watford will be quite happy with how it's going, they just need to stay switched on. Ipswich have to do better - it's very lame from them at the moment.

    Can't be much longer before we get a goal in this game.

    Both sides have come out with impetus this second half and it's been a real open first few minute but neither side seem to have that final move when it comes to finishing an attack off.

    That being said, Ipswich still look the more dangerous of the two as Sam Morsy fires wide from distance.

  19. Never a penalty!published at 21:01 British Summer Time 10 April

    HT: West Brom 2-0 Rotherham

    Ged Scott
    BBC Sport at The Hawthorns

    Referee Geoff Eltringham is going to have an uncomfortable few minutes back in the ref's room if they're showing the TV highlights of the first half - and in particular that ludicrous Baggies penalty.

    First and foremost Lee Peltier was very unlucky to be adjudged to have handballed that as the ball hit him smack in the face.

    Sad to say but VAR would have sorted that.

    As to whether was in the penalty area? No. Not even close!

    The Albion press box is ideally placed to judge on such calls, right in line with the 18-yard line. And estimates have varied between whether he was just a yard or two yards outside.

    Birmingham 0-0 Cardiff

    Cardiff withdraw experienced former Arsenal and Juventus schemer Aaron Ramsey and send on Rubin Colwill in their bid to snatch three points here.

    Blues unchanged by contrast.
