    Wrexham 1-0 Crawley

    Crawley will certainly feel they should have been level with an excellent chance just before the break.

    But Wrexham boast the best home record in the EFL and have also beaten the visitors in the previous two matches between the sides.

    Can the Red Devils upset the odds in the second-half? Wrexham have started strongly, winning a couple of corners before Jay Williams goes down for Crawley.

    Rotherham 0-2 Birmingham

    Back down the other end and Lyndon Dykes, on his first Blues start, is inches away from adding a third from a teasing cross from Alex Cochrane who has a left-foot like a wand, as we saw against Wrexham on Monday night.

    Bradford City 0-0 AFC Wimbledon

    This game is a bit edgy, you can sense Bradford believe they have the better of AFC Wimbledon but can they create some clear-cut chances?

    As for the visitors, goalkeeper Owen Goodman has made two good saves and they've largely defended well but can they provide a threat at the other end of the pitch?

  4. CLOSE!published at 16:06 British Summer Time 21 September

    Rotherham 0-2 Birmingham

    Almost an immediate impact for Millers' half-time sub Joe Powell who flashes a volley inches past Bailey Peacock-Farrell's upright.

    Notts County 0-1 Gillingham

    League Two's last remaining unbeaten record is under threat at Meadow Lane thanks to Elliott Nevitt's first EFL goal for Gillingham.

    Notts County will be encouraged by the sheer number of chances they created in the first-half but not so much by the poor finishing...

    Just the 28 first-half goals across League One and Two... how many more do we have in store in the second half?

    Place your bets and take your seats, you won't want to miss a minute.

    We are back under way...

    We've been treated to plenty of goals around the grounds in the first 45 minutes of League One action this afternoon.

    Barnsley lead Burton Albion 1-0 at half-time thanks to a 36th-minute strike by Luca Connell.

    Goals from Kwame Poku and Ricky-Jade Jones have given Peterborough a 2-0 advantage over Bristol Rovers, while Wycombe Wanderers are being held 1-1 at home to bottom of the table Cambridge United.

    Ethan Galbraith's brace for Leyton Orient has put them two up away at Stockport and Mansfield trail 1-0 at home to Shrewsbury.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 21 September

    Bolton 4-1 Reading

    Sheer League One madness.

    No goals in four matches, four in the first half. Ian Evatt walks to the dressing room with a smile on his face.

    Ruben Selles, less so.

    Dion Charles has converted two spot-kicks and fired between David Button's legs, with Josh Sheehan netting a free-kick to boot.

    Ben Elliot's first Royals goal looks like a mere consolation at this point.

    Crewe are cruising at home to Harrogate as Jack Lankester has added to Kane Hemmings' opener to make it 2-0.

    Barrow lead Newport 1-0 thanks to Elliot Newby's goal.

    Doncaster found themselves down to ten men inside ten minutes with Harry Clifton collecting two yellow cards and Ellis Harrison eventually nudged MK Dons ahead.

    Mike Williamson started the week as MK Dons boss and has ended it in charge of Carlisle and his new side lead 1-0 at Swindon.

    Colchester tossed away a 3-1 lead to draw with 10-man Morecambe last weekend but Lyle Taylor's double has them 2-0 up at home to Tranmere. They surely can't do it two weeks in a row can they?

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 21 September

    Bradford City 0-0 AFC Wimbledon

    Cheick Diabate almost has Bradford ahead at the break but he's denied by the AFC Wimbledon goalkeeper, Owen Goodman.

    Plenty of attacking promise from Bradford, plenty of solid defending from AFC Wimbledon.

    Notts County 0-1 Gillingham

    The second-placed side head the leaders thanks to Elliott Nevitt's calmness to go around Notts County goalkeeper Alex Bass and slot home for Gillingham.

    But Notts County have hit the woodwork twice and seen two other good chances go begging.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 21 September

    Huddersfield 0-2 Northampton

    The first league meeting for 15 years and it's very much advantage Northampton at half-time.

    Michal Helik's backpass went straight into an empty net after 18 minutes before Cameron McGeehan doubled the lead seven minutes later.

    An uphill task for the Terriers in the second-half.

    Rotherham 0-2 Birmingham

    Rotherham actually started the brighter but Tomoki Iwata's 20-yard rocket and a gorgeous lob from Jay Stansfield have Blues fans dreaming of an immediate return to the second tier...

    ... and who knows what after that?
