    Bristol City 2-0 Blackburn

    John Eustace clearly wasn't thrilled with his side at half-time as he's made four changes to Blackburn at the break.

    John Buckley, Andrew Moran, Ben Chrisene and Kyle McFadzean have come on.

    Championship promotion battle

    This is how things are looking at the top end of the Championship in the live table.

    Hull will be desperate to hang on to their half-time lead against Middlesbrough which would take them to within four points of sixth-place and with a game in hand on Norwich.

    Ipswich are second as it stands but they'll want the three points against Watford to go above Leicester at the summit.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:52 British Summer Time 10 April

    West Brom 2-0 Rotherham

    They kick you when you're down, the saying goes, and the penalty award that has put West Brom well on the way to victory really does feel like it for relegated Rotherham.

    Lee Peltier was deemed to have handled but didn't look like he was in the box, and John Swift said thanks very much.

    Brandon Thomas-Asante scored their first.

    Millers have had a dig, but just haven't been able to make an impression. Story of their season.

    We're starting to get back up and running in our 19:45 BST games for the second half.

  5. 'Boro have let the reins off'published at 20:51 British Summer Time 10 April

    HT: Hull 2-1 Middlesbrough

    Peter Swan
    Former Hull City player on BBC Radio Humberside

    Hull are doing what they haven't done in previous matches this season - they are making Middlesbrough pay.

    They didn't get off to the best start but it's got the feel that Middlesbrough have let the reins off them and now they can go and win the game. The fans are playing a part in it but they have been given something to enjoy.

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:50 British Summer Time 10 April

    Hull 2-1 Middlesbrough

    Impressive turn around by Hull City, for whom the home form hasn't been fantastic.

    Boro led thanks to Emmanuel Latte Lath's cool finish, and the in-form Teessiders felt comfortable.

    Liam Rosenior's side showed their quality though and a cross-shot goal for Jaden Philogene put them level.

    The hosts punished a defensive mix-up when Jean Michael Seri powered onto it and smashed past Seny Dieng.

    Handed on a plate, but fair play to Hull, they earned it.

    John Swift pen (45+1 mins)

    From the spot then, John Swift steps up and scores to make it 2-0 for West Brom.

    Genuinely think Lee Peltier is out of the box. Rotherham protests met by silence.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:49 British Summer Time 10 April

    Swansea 1-0 Stoke

    Liam Cullen's goal gives the Swans a lead in what could be crucial for them (and Stoke) in the battle to get away from the relegation zone.

  9. Postpublished at 20:49 British Summer Time 10 April

    Swansea 1-0 Stoke

    Almost an opening for Stoke right on the strike of half-time.

    Niall Ennis pokes the ball forward and Million Manhoef runs on to it, with the flag staying down as he stays onside.

    He seems to have the edge on the Swans defenders but is forced wider than he would probably want to go and his eventual shot drags across the face of goal and wide.

    West Brom 1-0 Rotherham

    Ged Scott
    BBC Sport at The Hawthorns

    Brandon Thomas-Asante's goal has helped to lift the rather subdued mood among the home fans.

    Trouble is, already relegated Rotherham haven't brought many, so there's no rival banter - and no atmosphere.

    The Millers haven't won away since November 2022 - and their fans clearly weren't expecting them to win this one.

    It must be the smallest ever away following here.

  12. 'Boro invited danger'published at 20:43 British Summer Time 10 April

    Hull 2-1 Middlesbrough

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Tees

    Just manage the game. Boro don't want a ball there; you're inviting pressure, you're inviting danger. That's what happens.

    To be fair, it's a great finish but manage the game. They've just gifted them a goal.

  13. goal

    GOAL: Hull 2-1 Middlesbroughpublished at 20:41 British Summer Time 10 April

    Jean Michael Seri (41 mins)

    What a shambles this is from Middlesbrough but credit Hull for pouncing.

    It's Jean Michael Seri who grabs it, quite literally, as Boro faff about at the back.

    Seny Dieng rolls a pass slide rule out of his own penalty area for Boro, looking to pick up Lewis O'Brien, who is just brushed aside.

    Seri takes into the box, steers left and then thrashes on the stretch a shot beyond Dieng for goal two.

    Hull can scarcely believe it.

  14. 'A draw is not good enough'published at 20:41 British Summer Time 10 April

    Hull 1-1 Middlesbrough

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Tees

    I'd like to see more control of the ball from Middlesbrough.

    We've said for both teams - a draw is not good enough. The first 15 minuets Boro were on top but Hull have started to put the pressure on.

  15. Postpublished at 20:40 British Summer Time 10 April

    Hull 1-1 Middlesbrough

    The tide has definitely turned now, and Hull are sniffing blood.

    Boro have to clear from right under their own bar, through Luke Ayling, after the dangerous Abdulkadir Omur dinked one over Seny Dieng.

    Still all-square.

  16. League One half-timespublished at 20:39 British Summer Time 10 April

    Peterborough 1-0 Port Vale; Wycombe 0-0 Derby

    The whistle has gone in both Wycombe and Peterborough.

    Goalless for Derby as they look to consolidate second, and Peterborough took the lead right at the end of the half.

  17. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:37 British Summer Time 10 April

    Birmingham 0-0 Cardiff

    Birmingham have come closest to scoring against Cardiff in their bid to pull clear of danger.

    Koji Miyoshi thudded a post in the first-half, and Jordan James came close with a whipped effort from the edge of the box that swung wide.

    Yakou Meite's bulk and brawn have caused Blues problems for Cardiff at the other end, but no one has breached those goals so far.

    Stalemate, with the slight emphasis on stale. Better please.

    Joel Randall (45 mins)

    Peterborough take the lead with the last kick of the half in League One!

    Joel Randall receives the short corner at the edge of the box in space and fires past Connor Ripley with the aid of a deflection.

    Posh have games in hand on the sides above them. Can they still grab an automatic promotion place?

  19. 'How long until McKenna makes a change?'published at 20:36 British Summer Time 10 April

    HT: Ipswich 0-0 Watford

    Aaron Paul
    BBC Radio 5 Live reporter

    The deadlock remains in tact, but Ipswich have had a real good go at breaking it open.

    Kieran McKenna opted to rotate ahead of this one tonight, and his selection has so far coped well with the expectation. Omari Hutchinson has been a livewire down the middle, whilst Kayden Jackson has offered pace down the right. But Nathan Broadhead has been the main threat, with a hatrick of opportunities, two well claimed by Bachmann, the third - hugely unlucky as it bounced off the post and rolled away.

    Watford have looked compact, and organised, but pose little threat, Daniel Bachmann has been excellent between the sticks, saving well from Kieffer Moore late on in the half.

    I just wonder how long Kieran McKenna will wait until he makes changes, with a plethora of attacking talent on the bench, there are match winners littered in this squad.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 10 April

    Ipswich 0-0 Watford

    Ipswich have had all the chances but nothing to show on the scoresheet.

    Watford keeper Daniel Bachmann has done well to deny Kieffer Moore and Nathan Broadhead a couple of times, as the Hornets fail to get their own shot on target through the first 45 minutes.
