It isn't difficult to see which the form team is - even if the score is level.

Grimsby have had eight shots, but it has felt like much more.

County have actually had slightly more of the ball, but haven't been able to do anything notable with it. They also lost their goalkeeper Alex Bass to a leg injury in the 10th minute.

The referee blows up for half-time and Blues deservedly lead at the break.

Kieran Dowell's penalty mid-way through the first-half following a foul on Alfons Sampsted separates the two sides after he coolly slotted the ball to the right of Stevenage goalkeeper Murphy Cooper who dived the wrong way.

Cooper has been busy in Stevenage's goal and did excellently to smother at the feet of Adam Stansfield when the striker almost got in on goal.

The visitors are not without a threat in attack themselves, however, and Ryan Allsop saved well from Jamie Reid's strike from the edge of the box with the scoreline at 0-0.

Good flow to this one.

Samson Tovide's sensational solo goal is the difference at the break.

The U's are heading towards a fourth win in a row, with just two points separating them from the play-off places as it stands.

This one has cooled down since you were last with us.

Alfons Sampsted, who is making his Blues debut, remember, has started really brightly on the right-hand side and, after winning the penalty kick, is continuing to bomb forward and put dangerous crosses into the box.

Meanwhile, the fourth assistant has stated their will be a minimum of two additional minutes before the first half comes to an end.

Notts, although they're battling haven't troubled Wright in the Grimsby goal yet.

It's probably Grimsby who look like the team with the belief at the moment.

Chesterfield have a second goal in three minutes. Aribim Pepple makes it 2-0 as Salford lick their wounds after Hakeeb Adelakun's dismissal.

Jayden Luker continues the waves of Grimsby pressure. He shrugs of a challenge to poke towards goal.

It falls for Danny Rose but his back heel can't find a way through the orange shirts.

James Tilley's header has brought AFC Wimbledon level at home to Cheltenham.

Chesterfield are 1-0 up against 10-man Salford thanks to Liam Mandeville's first goal of the season.

The visitors are level!

A corner is not dealt with by the Gas and Aaron Morley is on hand to level the scores at the back post.

That is Morley's fifth goal involvement in five matches against Rovers.

Chance after chance after chance for Grimsby, but substitute goalkeeper Sam Slocombe can't be beaten.

Geza David Turi did sting Slocombe's gloves with a drive from the edge of the area. It feels like a when, not if, the hosts score.

Half a chance, and some encouragement, for the visitors.

Good out-swinging corner from the left finds the head of Louis Thompson but it is easily gathered by Blues keeper Ryan Allsop, who has had a relatively breezy first 35 minutes.

'We're gonna win the league' echoes around St Andrew's. It's hard to argue with them either. As it stands, they're 13 clear. Kieran Dowell was cool in scoring from the spot in successive games and we've seen this story before.

A reminder, Birmingham are unbeaten at home this season. This would make it 16 wins and three draws from their 19 in League One

Not many goals to tell you around the grounds since our last update but one important one has gone in at Bloomfield Road.

Blackpool have pegged back relegation-threatened Cambridge United through Ashley Fletcher's 17th-minute goal.

Reading FC campaign group ‘Sell Before We Dai’ gathered outside the stadium before tonight's match with a message for the club’s owner, Dai Yongge.

The club has been up for sale for over 500 days.

A period that has brought points deductions, transfer embargoes, unpaid wages and winding-up petitions.

Tonight they playing Wrexham - what they would give for a Deadpool Hollywood A-Lister to be their hero!

Owura Edwards cuts in onto his right foot but Ben Amos is right behind his central and rather tame effort.

Jayden Luker squirms through a tackle and things look like they are opening up for him.

His shot is deflected into the path of Kieran Green, whose instinctive effort is poked just wide.

Vale have been the aggressors for much of the first half but have lacked quality in the final third.

Kyle John almost changes that trend with a fine low effort from the edge of the area. But Matt Macey gets right behind it.

As easy as you like!

Kieran Dowell steps up and slots the ball home with his trusty left foot, sending Murphy Cooper the wrong way to give the hosts a deserved lead.

The hosts have a penalty.

Debutante Alfons Sampsted is brought down in the box and the referee points to the spot.

Kieran Dowell to take.
