    This match could go either way.

    There's been three or four chances between them both. It's about who can take their chances and get all three points.

    Watford 2-0 Stoke

    Stoke just about hanging in there as Eric-Junior Bocat clears Vakoun Bayo's header off the line.

    That's just about it for Bayo's involvement today as he's withdrawn to make way for Mileta Rajovic, with Watford looking to wrap this game up.

    Josh Sargent (65 mins)

    Norwich are back on level terms!

    After a host of chances in the first half, Josh Sargent finally finds the net.

    Callum Doyle wins back possession before sliding the ball into the path of Sargent who smashes the ball into the roof of the net.

    Three teams have doubled their leads so far in the second half.

    At the Select Car Leasing Stadium, Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan taps in for the easiest goal you'll ever see, to put Reading 2-0 up on Wigan.

    Ben Wiles' strike from close range has Huddersfield comfortably in-front 2-0 over Stevenage.

    And Barnsley scored almost straight out of the dressing room to start the second half against Lincoln. Marc Roberts' powerful header crosses the goal line and makes the net bulge to put them 2-0 up.

    Not only have Millwall pulled it back to 2-2 in this second half - they now lead!

    Duncan Watmore, who scored both the Lions' goals against Watford last week, has his third of the season.

    Bristol City half-clear a long throw and Watmore arrows his finish into the top corner. Remarkable game and we're only three quarters of the way through it...

  6. 'Coyle is leading by example'published at 16:23 British Summer Time 17 August

    Plymouth 1-1 Hull

    Peter Swan
    Former Hull City player on BBC Radio Humberside

    That's a fantastic finish. Lewie Coyle going on the diagonal run, he beats the defenders. It's not even on his favourite foot and he smashes it.

    There's no celebration! It's like he does it week in, week out.

    As a defender, you'd expect your midfielders and your forwards doing that. He's leading by example.

  7. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 2-0 Prestonpublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 17 August

    Azeem Abdulai (64 mins)

    Swansea double their lead!

    Ollie Cooper's goal-bound shot clips Azeem Abdulai and flies into the back of the net.

    The Swans have looked very good in possession today, an encouraging performance so far.

  8. HITS THE BARpublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 17 August

    Watford 2-0 Stoke

    Almost a second of the afternoon for Edo Kayembe as his effort clatters the Stoke crossbar.

    It's the second time Watford have struck the woodwork, following James Morris' attempt before half-time.

    Hull have hit back!

    And it's captain Lewie Coyle who has come up with a marvel of a leveller.

    He goes on an excellent run, then trades passes with Liam Millar just inside the box before curling the ball home off the post.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:19 British Summer Time 17 August

    Swansea 1-0 Preston

    First change of the day for Swansea, Azeem Abdulai is introduced and replaces Eom Ji-Sung.

    Just approaching the hour mark with Swansea still holding on to that lead.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Sheffield Utd 2-1 QPRpublished at 16:18 British Summer Time 17 August

    (Jimmy Dunne 55 mins)

    Maybe a way back for QPR at Bramall Lane?

    Debutant Karamako Dembele delivers a corner and right-back Jimmy Dunne rises to direct a glancing header into the net.

    Dunne's last goal for Rangers was his crucial last-minute winner against Birmingham in March - which sparked the team's revival of their season. Could this one have a similar effect?

    Swansea 1-0 Preston

    Dafydd Pritchard
    BBC Sport Wales at the Swansea.com Stadium

    Preston feel they should have had a penalty as Stefan Thordarson's low cross appeared to hit the hand of Harry Darling.

    Nothing given. Preston feel particularly hard done by as they conceded a first-half penalty for a handball, and that's why they trail.

  13. goal

    GOAL: Burnley 3-0 Cardiffpublished at 16:15 British Summer Time 17 August

    Josh Brownhill (51 mins)

    Josh Brownhill has put host Burnley 3-0 up and the Clarets are surely well on their way to another Championship win now.

    And this is the finest of the Clarets' goals, with Lyle Foster linking up with Vitinho, who sends Brownhill through for a one-on-one with the keeper to coolly score.

  14. 'Cissoko is Plymouth's best player'published at 16:13 British Summer Time 17 August

    Plymouth 1-0 Hull

    Peter Swan
    Former Hull City player on BBC Radio Humberside

    Ibrahim Cissoko - in the first-half he was their best player, he's been the danger.

    It's not the best defending from Hull City. As soon as he's half a yard away, you know Cissoko's just going to turn and whip it in. That's what he did.

    Ability wise, Plymouth haven't got much of it but they've got the fans behind them now.

    Can anyone stop Chesterfield this afternoon? They are now 5-0 up on Crewe. Armando Dobra the latest to get on the scoresheet in this lop sided affair.

    Walsall are out of the traps early as well in this second half with another goal to make it 3-0 against Swindon and it is a beauty. Taylor Allen bangs in his free kick from outside the box.

    Elsewhere, Grimsby have doubled their lead over Cheltenham to 2-0.

    Well, that's quite a turnaround!

    Millwall came from 2-0 down last week against Watford - and they've just done it again.

    Tom Bradshaw converts from the spot and it's game on!

    Zak Vyner adjudged to have handballed Romain Esse's cross.

    GOAL: Watford 2-0 Stokepublished at 16:11 British Summer Time 17 August

    Ryan Andrews (49 mins)

    Watford strike again! Two goals in four minutes and this game has turned massively, instantly in their favour the start of this second half.

    It's right-back Ryan Andrews who makes it 2-0, as Stoke keeper Vikto Johansson saves the ball but puts it straight into his path in the six-yard area.

    (Romain Esse 51 mins)

    Bristol City began the first half with a bang - now it's Millwall's turn after the restart.

    Teenage midfielder Romain Esse - who scored their Carabao Cup winner at Portsmouth in midweek - buries a low finish to halve the deficit.

    Wayne Rooney's Plymouth have broken the deadlock!

    Ibrahim Cissoko has been a lurking threat all day for the hosts, and the Netherlands Under-21s winger links up with Ryan Hardie in the box to fire home his first Pilgrims goal since arriving on loan from Toulouse.

    Well, that didn't take Watford too long!

    Wayne Andrews' angled drive is parried by Viktor Johansson and the rebound falls nicely for Edo Kayembe to tuck away.
