Sheff Wed 1-1 Portsmouth

Anthony Musaba was brought on at half-time in place of Djeidi Gassama for Wednesday and he's looking lively.

Hull 0-0 Derby

Hull are on the front foot at the start of this second half and Gustavo Puerta has just gone close with a low drive from distance after Derby gave away possession.
The Tigers know that victory will make them safe for another season in the Championship - defeat for Derby would leave their hopes hanging by a thread.

Preston 0-1 Plymouth

Plymouth will technically live to fight another day in the Championship if they win today but that late Luton winner against Coventry earlier on may well have all but sealed their fate.
Argyle are three points from safety as things stand but are 14 goals worse-off than the Hatters on goal difference.
Hull, Preston and Derby also all have a vastly superior goal difference to the Pilgrims.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 26 April
Cardiff 0-0 West Brom

Jesper Daland is on for Cardiff to replace Perry Ng.
It's getting desperate for the home side - that late win for Luton has done so much to the bottom of the table.

Here's a look at the live Championship table at half-time.
Millwall are moving level on points with Coventry in sixth as things stand. Middlesbrough will go above the Sky Blues if they can find a win against Norwich.
Oxford will be safe and Cardiff will be down if results stay as they are. The other six teams will go into the final day still at risk of relegation.
It will all change in the next hour of course.
'We gave absolutely everything'published at 15:59 British Summer Time 26 April
FT: Luton 1-0 Coventry
Coventry

Image source, PA Media
Coventry's fourth away defeat in five to Luton earlier this afternoon means they remain sixth and their hopes of clinching a top-six place will go down to a play-off showdown with rivals Middlesbrough.
Boss Frank Lampard said his players - who went down to 10-men early on - "gave everything".
"We gave absolutely everything, we dug in with 10 men for a long, long time," he told BBC CWR.
"I know it levelled out but the effort they put in against a team that goes direct, cross it a lot, when you're a man down it's a long afternoon and the lads spirit was brilliant, that's why it's so disappointing to lose in the end."
