'Oxford will be disappointed with defending'published at 21:06 British Summer Time
Oxford 1-1 Derby
Dan George
BBC Sport at The Kassam Stadium
The Derby supporters are up for this one.
A lovely finish by Nathaniel Mendez-Laing but Oxford will be disappointed they couldn't have cleared the ball more effectively and prevented that.
However Derby have been much more positive this second half and deserve the equaliser in my opinion, their fans have not stopped signing since.
With momentum on the visitors' side for now, Des Buckingham has made a change up front, goalscorer Dane Scarlett coming off for Mark Harris.
This match now intriguingly poised.

QPR 0-1 Coventry
A quick start to the second half from QPR.
Paul Smyth puts the perfect cross in from the right but despite Zan Celar hovering in the box, no one is there to gamble on a tap-in.

YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:05 British Summer Time
Leeds 2-1 Watford
Watford boss Tom Cleverley has been shown a yellow card by referee Anthony Backhouse after being called over by the fourth official.
Leeds are trying to take the sting out of the Hornets game, no pun intended, but Cleverley wants them to continue in the fashion they began the second period.

Shane Duffy (61 mins)

Norwich are level!
Josh Sargent does excellently to cut inside and lays it back to the onrushing Shane Duffy to slot home at the near post with a first time finish.
An unlikely goalscorer, but the Canaries have come from two behind and might now sense they can complete an incredible comeback.
Worth mentioning that Duffy started that moved and finished it off... great work by the centre-back.
CLOSE!published at 21:03 British Summer Time
Preston 2-1 Norwich
Preston are close to regaining their two-goal cushion as Sam Greenwood feeds it through to Emil Riis who curls just wide.
GREAT SAVE!published at 21:02 British Summer Time
Sheff Wed 0-0 Swansea
A great chance for Swansea to take the lead but James Beadle saves brilliantly from Ronald.
He's played in on the right side of the box, takes a touch and fires towards goal but it's smothered by Beadle and it remains 0-0.
The first save of note Beadle has made but it's a vital one.
GOAL: Oxford 1-1 Derbypublished at 21:02 British Summer Time
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing (55 mins)
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has Derby level, and it's a peach of a finish.
The ball breaks for the forward on the edge of the area, and he takes a few steps to steady himself before firing home first time.
CLOSE!published at 21:01 British Summer Time
Cardiff 2-0 Portsmouth
Somehow Cardiff have spurned another chance of a third after finding themselves with four-on-three in the area.
Callum Robinson plays in Callum O'Dowda but his left-footed effort skims Regan Poole and narrowly evades the far post.
David Turnbull draws a save out of sub keeper Jordan Archer with a 20-yard rasper moments later.
One way traffic again...
'A familiar story for QPR so far'published at 20:59 British Summer Time
HT: QPR 0-1 Coventry
Chris Peddy
BBC Sport at Loftus Road
It's a familiar story for QPR, they've played some nice football and have created chances but they've been unable to find the all-important goal, having gone behind to Hadji Wright's opener inside four minutes.
Koki Saito, who came on for the injured Kenneth Paal, and Ilias Chair looked the most likely creators for the hosts down the left-hand side.
The edgy crowd has been frustrated by perceived time-wasting by the visiting goalkeeper Oliver Dovin, with Jay Dasilva eventually the one to receive a booking for taking too long on a throw-in.
Former Boreham Wood centre-back Jamal Fyfield next to to me on BBC Radio London has called it the perfect away performance from the Sky Blues so far.
As it stands Mark Robins' side are on course for their first win in three games.

Leeds 2-1 Watford
It's ALL Watford. The Leeds fans are restless.
Yasser Larouci keeps the ball in play on the left flank and drives towards the box with Jayden Bogle backing-off before unleashing a fizzing angled strike which flies a foot over Illan Meslier's crossbar.
The last time Watford won at Leeds was in 2015. They won 3-2. They trailed 2-0 that day...
GOAL: Stoke 2-2 Bristol Citypublished at 20:58 British Summer Time
Nahki Wells (52 mins)
AMAZING! Nahki Wells has two goals in two minutes to level for Bristol City.
George Earthy, who only came off the bench at the break, takes a pass on the edge of the box but his first touch is not great.
The ball falls to the feet of a Stoke defender, who then sends a badly directed attempted clearance to Wells, who buries his second goal of the night with a one-touch finish.
What an incredible few minutes to turn this game on its head.
Postpublished at 20:57 British Summer Time
Preston 2-1 Norwich
Norwich make their first meaningful venture forward in this second-half as Kenny McClean whips a teasing ball in from the left, but it's great handling by Freddie Woodman in the Preston goal as he comes out to claim it with Josh Sargent looming.
GOAL: Stoke 2-1 Bristol Citypublished at 20:55 British Summer Time
Nahki Wells (50 mins)
Bristol City finally pull a goal back!
The visitors play a quick short corner, and Stoke's defence fails to react as the ball is worked to Nahki Wells at the far post, where he finishes coolly.
GOAL Leeds 2-1 Watfordpublished at 20:55 British Summer Time
Kwadwo Baah (47 mins)
Game on!
Leeds won't keep a third clean sheet at home in a row tonight.
Kwadwo Baah gets in behind the defence on the right of the area, drives along the byline and fires in a low cross which beats Illan Meslier but cannons off a defender and back to Baah who tucks inside the near post from a seemingly impossible angle.
Watford have their tails up.

Preston 2-1 Norwich
Preston came under pressure in the latter stages of the first half but they've started well in the second period.
It's the Lilywhites who are now penning back Norwich in the first five minutes of the half.
A great game at Deepdale so far.
Postpublished at 20:54 British Summer Time
Stoke 2-0 Bristol City
Stoke City have gone looking for a third early in the second half.
A corner is met at the front post by Ben Gibson, but his flicked header flies over the bar.
Postpublished at 20:52 British Summer Time
Sheff Wed 0-0 Swansea
Sheffield Wednesday get forward well once again as Jamal Lowe plays it wide for Svante Ingelsson. In comes the cross but it's good defending by Josh Tymon to put it behind for a corner.
The visitors manage to clear but more good pressure by the Owls.
Postpublished at 20:49 British Summer Time
Sheff Wed 0-0 Swansea
Jamal Lowe is asking for a penalty for Sheffield Wednesday after he cuts inside and claims he was tripped by Ben Cabango.
Lowe managed to get the shot away but there was a hint of contact from the Swansea centre-back.
HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:49 British Summer Time
QPR 0-1 Coventry
Haji Wright gave Coventry a fourth minute lead between two of the Championship's slow starters this season.
They haven't had a shot since, while QPR have huffed but not found enough quality in the final third.
A burst of boos at half-time from the home fans.
As it stands, QPR are four points from safety at the bottom of the table.
