  1. RED CARD: Reading 2-0 Wrexham

    Michael Stickland (75 mins)

    Now then, hope for the visitors perhaps.

    The Reading central defender is given a second yellow for time-wasting and the hosts will have to play the last 15 minutes with 10 men.

  2. INJURY TIME

    Birmingham City 2-0 Stevenage

    Four minutes have been added on here at St Andrew's

  3. Colchester 2-1 Port Vale

    NINE minutes of additional time has been displayed.

    Can Colchester hold on? If they can they will be a point outside the play-off places with momentum on their side.

  4. 'Grimsby fans have gone home'

    Grimsby 0-2 Notts County

    Mark Stallard
    Former Notts County striker on BBC Radio Nottingham

    The Grimsby fans have largely gone home as we're just about to tick over the 90-minute mark.

    It's not been a game with plenty of chances, but no more than Notts deserve, it looks as though all three points will be heading back to Meadow Lane now.

  5. goal

    GOAL: Bristol Rovers 3-2 Bolton

    Connor Taylor (88 mins)

    For the THIRD time tonight, Rovers lead- will they hold on to this one?!

    With two minutes of the 90 left, a delicious delivery from Matt Butcher is flicked on and finds Connor Taylor, who climbs highest to bury his header.

    Do Steven Schumacher's men have another quick response left in them?

  6. goal

    GOAL Grimsby 0-2 Notts County

    David McGoldrick (89 mins)

    Back from injury, back on the scoresheet.

    This is pure liquid David McGoldrick.

    He holds off a man, beats him and then from 25 yards picks out the bottom corner.

    A simply wonderful piece of target man play.

  7. Birmingham 2-0 Stevenage

    Little to report here at St Andrew's as Blues look to be comfortably seeing this one out.

    Three minutes left plus additional time on the clock.

  8. goal

    GOAL Colchester 2-1 Port Vale

    Fiacre Kelleher (86 mins)

    DRAMA IN ESSEX!

    Barely a minute after Vale had levelled, the U's are back ahead.

    Lyle Taylor's free-kick was wickedly played into the middle where Fiacre Kelleher flicked in.

  9. goal

    GOAL Colchester 1-1 Port Vale

    Rico Richards (85 mins)

    Vale are level!

    Jayden Stockley couldn't get good contact with a header by Rico Richards makes sure the ball goes over the line.

    Anyone for a winner from here?

  10. League One updates

    Exeter City now lead Mansfield Town 2-0 following Angus MacDonald's goal in the 49th minute.

    Blackpool have come from behind to lead Cambridge United thanks to Sonny Carey's goal nine minutes into the second-half.

  11. League Two updates

    #bbcefl

    Cheltenham have reached the final furlong 2-1 ahead against AFC Wimbledon in Festival week. Matt Taylor puts them back ahead with an angled finish into the bottom corner.

    Johnnie Jackson's side are slipping down to fifth as it stands and missing the chance to move into the top three.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Reading 2-0 Wrexham

    Lewis Wing (55 mins)

    The Royals double their lead!

    Good work from the opening goalscorer of the game Harvey Knibbs creates space for Lewis Wing who smashes home at the near post.

    Thanks to Wing's second, in-form Reading are flying now.

  13. League Two updates

    #bbcefl

    Kelsey Mooney has his second of the night and Accrington's fifth. They hadn't scored more than three in a match this season, but now they are taking Newport to the cleaners and all but confirming their EFL place for next season.

  14. CLOSE!

    Birmingham City 2-0 Stevenage

    Blues should be 3-0 up.

    Its an awful header backwards by Stevenage defender Nick Freeman who allows Alfie May in, but, one-on-one, he can only dink the ball over the crossbar.

    Poor attempt by a man who is desperate for a goal as his personal barren run continues.

  15. Grimsby 0-1 Notts County

    David McGoldrick has come off the bench to try and kill the hosts off. His first impact is a 25-yard daisycutter, which Jordan Wright can't help but save.

  16. CLOSE!

    Grimsby 0-1 Notts County

    Grimsby really should be level.

    Danny Rose takes on a first-time shot after the ball ran loose. He had time on his side but tried to place it quickly into the top corner, but just overhits his effort towards the top corner.

  17. goal

    GOAL: Bristol Rovers 2-2 Bolton

    John McAtee (70 mins)

    But the hosts lead didn't last for long!

    More good work from Wanderers' first goal scorer Aaron Morley, whose corner finds the head of John McAtee who heads home from six yards out.

    And we're back all square here!

  18. Colchester 1-0 Port Vale

    Mitch Clark does the hard work and then clips delightfully into the middle. Ronan Curtis and Jayden Stockley both try to get their foot on it, but another chance disappears for Vale, as it evades both of them.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Bristol Rovers 2-1 Bolton

    Chris Martin (63 mins)

    The veteran forward at the double!

    18-year-old Kofi Shaw, who has been excellent today, puts in a brilliant slide tackle to win the ball back and threads the ball down the left to Ruel Sotiriou.

    He runs forward and plays a cross towards Chris Martin, and the former Norwich man clinically finishes to put the hosts back in front.

  20. goal

    GOAL: Reading 1-0 Wrexham

    Harvey Knibbs (51 mins pen)

    Big goal at the top of League One!

    Harvey Knibbs converts from the spot six minutes before the restart. The visitors, for now, look like they will not be going second tonight!
