Hull City 0-0 Oxford
Mark Harris hits a firm shot straight down the throat of Ivor Pandur in the Hull City goal.
The away side, winless in eight, have probably edged this match so far.

Leeds 1-0 Millwall
The other three teams who make up the Championship's top four all drew 1-1 at home last night.
Leeds will hope to avoid making it the full set.
Bright start from them in the opening exchanges of this second half.

Oh my word!!! You're not dreaming, Plymouth fans... it's two!
Ryan Hardie makes a run in behind from the halfway line and is allowed to carry it all the way into the area.
Just as he looks to have overcooked it, he stretches out a long right leg and toe pokes it in at the near post!

Former Leeds United full-back on BBC Radio Leeds
Leeds United need another goal or two to win this game.
It's a tight turnaround to an early kick-off game in London on Saturday.

Portsmouth 0-1 Plymouth
John Mousinho's definitely said something at half-time... Portsmouth have come out with a lot more urgency right from the off. Josh Murphy bends an awkward cross-shot towards the back stick and Plymouth keeper Conor Hazard palms it away.

Portsmouth 0-1 Plymouth
Portsmouth have only lost one of their past 12 league games at Fratton Park (W9 D2 L1), which came against Millwall on 28 January. The scoreline in that one? 1-0.
It would be absolutely huge for Plymouth if they can see this over the line. Still plenty of work to do.

We're getting back under way in the four 19:45 GMT games for a BIG second half at both ends of the table.
HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:48 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March
Stoke 1-0 Blackburn

The home side have the lead at the break thanks to Ali Al-Hamadi's close range finish.
Blackburn came close to a leveller when Viktor Johansson turned Todd Cantwell's shot on to the post.
The Potters will climb four points clear of the bottom three if they can end their four-game winless run tonight.

Stoke 1-0 Blackburn
Heading into the final stages of the first half in the Potteries.
Stoke moving four points clear of the relegation zone if they can take the points tonight.
'Selles needs to give a good team talk'published at 20:42 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March
HT: Hull City 0-0 Oxford
Garreth Roberts
Former Hull City midfielder on BBC Radio Humberside
There were only a few sparks early on in the game - very few and far between.
Hull City have got the midfield that can play the nice, pretty passes.
But Matt Phillips has been making the tackles to set their attack up.
Hull have got the opportunity, they just need a really good team talk from Ruben Selles.

As it stands at the bottom...published at 20:41 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March
Plymouth's 1-0 lead at Portsmouth at the break means they'll stay in touch with the sides above them... IF they can hold on.
Stoke will also be desperate to cling on to their advantage over Blackburn to put a bit of a buffer between themselves and the drop zone.

Leeds back on toppublished at 20:38 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March
HT: Leeds 1-0 Millwall
As it stands, Leeds are back atop the Championship table.
Watford have also snuck into the top 10 - their play-off hopes well and truly alive.
Plenty of time for things to change of course...

Leeds 1-0 Millwall
Image source, Getty Images
The home side on top, in the lead and heading back to the Championship summit as it stands.
Jake Cooper's early own goal gave the home side the lead inside three minutes and the Whites had the ball in the net again through Joel Piroe but that was, perhaps harshly, chalked off for offside.
The Lions haven't had much of it but, at just 1-0 down, they're still right in this match.
HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March
Hull City 0-0 Oxford
Keenly-fought contest between two teams in need of the points down at the bottom of the table but no goals so far.
HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:33 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March
Portsmouth 0-1 Plymouth
A moment of pure class sees Plymouth go in ahead at the break.
Argyle haven't seen much of the ball, but when they have it, they've looked dangerous.
Ryan Hardie's deft touch to tee up Mustapha Bundu for the opener has given the Pilgrims real hope in the relegation scrap.
Portsmouth, who beat leaders Leeds 1-0 on Sunday, are trailing to the bottom side.
The Championship doing Championship things so far.
HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:33 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March
Watford 1-0 Swansea
Moussa Sissoko's ruthless finish into the top corner after Tom Ince pounced on Goncalo Franco's poor backpass in his own half gives Watford the lead at the interval.
There has been little else to shout about in the first half and Swansea will be kicking themselves.
The Hornets are moving within four points of the top six if they can see this out.
Big half coming up for the hosts.
'Neither side on top at Hull'published at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

Garreth Roberts

It is real stop-start football.
Both teams have had their moments, but neither have really got on top of the ball.

Leeds 1-0 Millwall
BIG let off for Leeds.
The away side win a corner and unsurprisingly aim it in for giant centre-back Jake Cooper but, unchallenged, he heads wide of the target.
That would have balanced out his earlier own goal.

Nathan Cooper
BBC Radio Oxford commentator
We are seeing some good tenacious play by Oxford United.
Every Hull City player is just about back inside his own half.
GOAL: Portsmouth 0-1 Plymouthpublished at 20:29 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March
Mustapha Bundu (44 mins)
Wow!! Plymouth are ahead and what a goal this is!
Michael Obafemi bursts down the left and flashes a cross into the box and it's flicked on by Ryan Hardie with a delightful touch to Mustapha Bundu.
Bundu then sets himself before slotting it into the bottom corner.
Hats off to Hardie. A moment of magic to set that one up and the bottom side are in front!
