    Crewe 0-1 Swindon

    The hosts have the chance to swing a free-kick into the box from near the left touchline, but Swindon deal with it easily and then break.

    Aaron Drinan is played in behind Crewe's high line, but the flag goes up for offside.

    The home fans are showing the first signs of frustration.

    Cardiff and Plymouth fans have just been applauding for a full minute, 14 minutes into this game, as a tribute to former Bluebirds captain Sol Bamba, who died one year ago tomorrow. His squad number for Cardiff was 14.

    Cardiff 0-0 Plymouth

    A rousing round of applause erupts around the Cardiff City Stadium as 14 minutes arrives, in tribute to Bluebirds stalwart Sol Bamba who passed away a year ago.

    The hosts have a corner as the moment arrives but the deep kick glances off the head of Yousef Salech at the far post and goes behind.

  4. 'Brilliant for Fleetwood'published at 12:46 BST 30 August

    Barrow 0-0 Fleetwood

    David Unsworth
    Former Burnley and Everton defender on BBC Radio Lancashire

    If you're up in the game, you've got something to hold on to, and fight for and something to believe in.

    This could be a long, long afternoon for Barrow; it's brilliant for Fleetwood. I expect the back three to have loads of possession.

    They've got to be patient and keep doing what they're doing, they've got a great opportunity to go and win the game.

    Crewe 0-1 Swindon

    What have the League One leaders got in response?

    Not a lot as yet. They try a long ball into the left corner of the Swindon box which Calum Agius looks to latch on to, but Connor Ripley is out quickly to gather.

    Now the players have the chance to snatch a drink as Swindon's Finley Munroe goes down needing treatment.

    He rejoins the action.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 12:44 BST 30 August

    Doncaster 0-0 Rotherham

    Not great to pick up a yellow card for dissent after 11 minutes, but Millers forward Kion Etete has done just that, complaining strongly that he should have had a free-kick and then hoofing the loose ball off the pitch in frustration.

  7. RED CARD: Niall Canavan (Barrow)published at 12:43 BST 30 August

    Barrow 0-0 Fleetwood

    So much for that quiet start, eh?!

    Barrow's Niall Canavan is given his marching orders for a tug Ryan Graydon when he's through on goal.

    Looked the right decision.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 12:42 BST 30 August

    Doncaster 0-0 Rotherham

    Thimothee Lo-Tutala to the rescue for Rovers as Martin Sherif is found in acres of space on the far right of the box, only for the keeper to fly off his line and smother his left-footed shot just inside his area.

  9. Postpublished at 12:40 BST 30 August

    Barrow 0-0 Fleetwood

    Quiet start to proceedings in this one. We've not had any attempts at goal yet with Fleetwood enjoying more of the possession.

  10. Postpublished at 12:40 BST 30 August

    Cardiff 0-0 Plymouth

    Yousef Salech does have a sight of goal, with just Brendan Wiredu infront of him in the box, but he is penalised for a stiff-arm on the defender as he bustles his way past him, though his subsequent shot was turned behind by Luca Ashby-Hammond regardless.

  11. 'I didn't expect that to find the net'published at 12:40 BST 30 August

    Crewe 0-1 Swindon

    Peter Morse
    Crewe summariser on BBC Radio Stoke

    I must admit I didn't expect that to find the net.

    It was 20 yards out, a real tight angle, Booth will be disappointed to be beaten from there, I'm not sure if it took a nick of someone, certainly a disappointing one to concede.

    GOAL: Crewe 0-1 Swindonpublished at 12:39 BST 30 August

    Gavin Kilkenny (8 mins)

    The leaders are behind!

    Swindon advance nicely once more as Gavin Kilkenny is allowed to creep towards the 18-yard box and then unleashes a shot.

    A big deflection takes it away from home keeper Tom Booth and into the bottom left corner.

    A first goal in 12 months for the Irishman!

  14. Postpublished at 12:38 BST 30 August

    Cardiff 0-0 Plymouth

    Some lovely approach play from Cardiff, who are popping it around nicely, like an unbeaten team who are top of the table would, I suppose.

    They haven't found a way to get the ball in to Yousef Salech in the middle just yet, mind.

    Plymouth, in white shirts and baby pink shorts, have been defending doggedly, though Matty Sorinola has seen a left-wing cross cleared at the other end too.

  15. Postpublished at 12:37 BST 30 August

    Crewe 0-0 Swindon

    Crewe's Tommi O'Reilly draws the first save of the game as a ball into the box drops kindly for him.

    He takes it nicely on the half-volley on the angle, but Swindon stopper Connor Ripley bats it away.

  16. Postpublished at 12:35 BST 30 August

    Doncaster 0-0 Rotherham

    Three dangerous set-pieces in the opening four minutes for Rotherham, two conceded by new Rovers defender Matty Pearson.

    Again Joe Powell takes it into the box but Rovers are able to clear this time.

  17. Postpublished at 12:34 BST 30 August

    Crewe 0-0 Swindon

    Swindon keeper Connor Ripley draws an ironic cheer from the home fans as he boots a clearance straight out of play.

    The visitors are very neat and tidy in possession, though, trying to work the way through the middle, and they have the first attempt on goal.

    But Darren Oldaker gets it all wrong and balloons his shot from 25 yards out well over the bar.

  18. Postpublished at 12:33 BST 30 August

    Doncaster 0-0 Rotherham

    Positive start from the Millers and Joe Powell whips in another free-kick from the right flank with his left peg, though it evades the mass of bodies in the mixer and glides past the far post untouched.

  19. Postpublished at 12:32 BST 30 August

    Doncaster 0-0 Rotherham

    Joe Powell lines up a 25-yard free-kick for the visitors, all in gold today, but his attempt to catch the keeper out with a near-post strike deflects behind off the wall for a Millers corner, which comes to nothing.
