    Birmingham's 6-2 dismantling of 10-man Barnsley, a thrilling 3-2 battle between Walsall and Port Vale, a solid Wrexham performance that puts them six clear in the automatic promotion spots - and that's just some of the highlights of today's action.

    The League Two table has seen three different leaders this afternoon but it's who it ends with that matters.

    Bradford City are now the team to beat and you can guarantee this is a promotion race that's still got plenty in it.

    The big boys in the fourth division will be back on Saturday, but before that Chesterfield will be hosting Gillingham on Tuesday alongside a whole host of League One games to boot.

    Including perhaps Birmingham's promotion-winning game should Peterborough feel so obliging.

    Join us for more then? You know you want to.

  2. Big week coming up for Blues after fine winpublished at 17:40 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Birmingham 6-2 Barnsley

    Tom Gayle
    Final Score at St Andrews @ Knighthead Park

    Five different goalscorers with the biggest roar for the final strike from Lukas Jutkiewicz on his 352nd appearance for the club, in what is likely to be his farewell campaign in blue.

    What a coming week it could be for Chris Davies' side.

    Victory on Tuesday at Peterborough would secure promotion before they take on the same side at Wembley next Sunday in the league trophy final.

    Still no new manager bounce for Barnsley’s interim boss Conor Hourihane as his wait for a first managerial win.

    He’ll have plenty to be proud of when dissecting this match whilst heading back up the M1.

  3. Momentum still with Addicks despite deflating drawpublished at 17:36 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Charlton 2-2 Lincoln

    Vaishali Bhardwaj
    BBC Final Score at The Valley

    Well, it’s disappointment ultimately for the Charlton fans.

    They were cheering their team on and making plenty of noise especially in that second half as Nathan Jones’ side looked for a winner but there seemed to be an air of deflation at the final whistle.

    Still, Charlton remain unbeaten in their last nine home games and so they’ll feel like the momentum is most certainly still there as we head into the final few games of the season.

    FT: Bradford 2-0 Crewe

    Andy Kiwomya
    Ex-Bradford forward and head of performance on BBC Radio Leeds

    It is great to feel and great to see this atmosphere!

    We are top of the league - it is great to feel that feeling and to be able to say we are at the top.

    The way that Bradford have hit form just at the right time and you just have to enjoy it.

    You need to embrace the good times as we have had so many frustrating ones over the years and look forward to the next few games.

  5. 'A really dark period for Bristol Rovers'published at 17:29 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Bolton 1-0 Bristol Rovers

    Lee Mansell
    Former Bristol Rovers midfielder on BBC Radio Bristol

    The second half period I knew Bolton were going to get out their traps a little bit, and they wouldn't have been happy with their first half performance.

    We are copy and paste of where we have been the past five games, and it is really disappointing. I'm just watching the substitutes doing their post-match running on the pitch now, and they are looking at the floor and kicking the ground - it has to be really hard to take for them.

    Where is the light at the end of tunnel?

    At this point were are not picking up wins or points, it is a really dark period for Bristol Rovers.

    League Two saw some thrilling matches on this stunning April Saturday and here is how the table looks.

    The game of the day saw Walsall take on Port Vale at The Bescot Stadium, with the Valiants running out 3-2 winners and all the goals coming in the first half.

    The Saddlers' defeat means they are not top of the table for the first time in 119 days as Bradford move into pole position after their 2-0 win at home to Crewe.

    Doncaster Rovers' late, late two goals at Cheltenham see them stay in the hunt for an automatic promotion spot, with a game in hand still to boot too, they are in fourth just two points behind Walsall.

    AFC Wimbledon's win over Harrogate was a quiet 1-0 but an equally important three points to keep them in the chase.

    At the other end, Tranmere's thumping 4-0 victory over Chesterfield sees them rise up to 21st dropping Accrington Stanley further into trouble.

    Here's how the League One table looks after another hectic day.

    Birmingham City's 6-2 win over Barnsley means they are now just two points away from winning automatic promotion to the Championship.

    Third-placed Wycombe's 1-0 defeat at Reading at lunchtime means they can now only get to 93 points, with Blues on 92.

    Another five points will secure the title for Chris Davies' side with Wrexham able to achieve a maximum of 96 points.

    Bolton's victory over Bristol Rovers lifts them back into the play-off spots, while it's as you were at the bottom in the fight for survival between the Gas and Burton Albion.

    Here's the headlines from elsewhere:

    • Huddersfield doubled their lead through Ben Wiles and while Mansfield struck back through Dom Dwyer four minutes later, it wasn't enough to prevent a 2-1 loss.

    Birmingham 6-2 Barnsley

    An emphatic victory for Birmingham and they are now just two points away from a return to the Championship at the first time of asking.

    Barnsley went down to 10 men but battled well to claw Blues back to 1-1 and then 3-2.

    But the Tykes ran out of steam and Chris Davies' side ran away with it in the end to secure a 10th straight win on home soil.

  11. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 5 April

    Bradford 2-0 Crewe

    Graham Alexander's men bounce back from their 2-0 loss at Port Vale on Tuesday.

    Crewe could not continue the buzz from their first win in six League Two games at home to Grimsby on Tuesday evening.

    That is now no win in their last seven visits to Bradford as Calum Kavanagh added a goal and an assist to make it 10 and six for him in the league this season.

  12. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 5 April

    Bolton 1-0 Bristol Rovers

    Aaron Collins' header is enough to see Bolton beat Bristol Rovers and sees the Gas remain in a dangerous position near the foot of the table.

  13. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:55 British Summer Time 5 April

    Charlton 2-2 Lincoln

    A pulsating game comes to an end at The Valley.

    Lincoln were 2-0 up with 35 minutes remaining but Charlton hit back to salvage a point.

    The Addicks pushed for a winner but couldn't find it and any faint hopes of automatic promotion are probably over.

    Their grip on a play-off spot still looks strong, though.

    GOAL: Birmingham 6-2 Barnsleypublished at 16:54 British Summer Time 5 April

    Lukas Jutkiewicz (89 mins)

    It's a rout.

    Birmingham win it back high up and Lukas Jutkiewicz is played in on the left.

    His first effort is well saved by Kieran Flavell but the Blues legend fires home the rebound for his first league goal of the season.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:52 British Summer Time 5 April

    Birmingham 5-2 Barnsley

    Very much game over for Barnsley but there is still a few minutes of game time for Dexter Lembikisa, Jonathan Lewis and Kelechi Nwakali.

    The trio replace Corey O'Keeffe, Stephen Humphrys and Luca Connell.

  16. INJURY TIMEpublished at 16:51 British Summer Time 5 April

    Charlton 2-2 Lincoln

    Into five minutes of added time at The Valley. Is there to be a late winner?

    A last roll of the dice from Charlton boss Nathan Jones too, as Gassan Ahadme and Alex Gilbert come on in place of Thierry Small and Greg Docherty.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:49 British Summer Time 5 April

    Birmingham 5-2 Barnsley

    Birmingham's top goalscorer Jay Stansfield makes way for Lukas Jutkiewicz late on.

    Marc Leonard is also on for Paik Seung-Ho.

    That goal prompts another away change.

    Calum Agius replaces Zac Williams.

    Bradford 2-0 Crewe

    Jamie Raynor
    BBC Radio Leeds commentator

    For the first time in 17 long, long years Bradford might just be the league leaders!

    It was calmness personified in a pivotal moment. Calum Kavanagh is a young man who showed so much maturity.

    This is a team that are serious of the League Two title.

    GOAL: Bradford 2-0 Crewepublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 5 April

    Calum Kavanagh (85 mins)

    Calum Kavanagh assisted the first, he has scored the second, Bradford's three points now surely?

    He capitalises on a lapse in concentration from Crewe's defence to race in behind after Jamie Walker's dinked ball. One-on-one with the goalkeeper, the Bantams forward calmly slots the ball into the bottom corner.
