'Cambridge yet to get going'published at 15:36 British Summer Time 18 April
Huddersfield 0-0 Cambridge
Sanny Rudravajhala
BBC Radio 5 Live at The John Smith's Stadium
Huddersfield have one of the hidden gems of English football with their stadium. It’s arching stands, are surrounded by an array of towering trees which provide a perfect juxtaposition of the ancient with the modern.
On the pitch, and through the gentle drizzle it’s been all Huddersfield so far. Breaks in play have meant Cambridge boss Neil Harris has had even more time to gather his players and give them a talking to.
They’ve got through the first 25 minutes but they’ve yet to get going with the ball, just yet.
Cambridge will be relegated if they lose at Huddersfield AND Bristol Rovers win. If they avoid defeat, they can’t go down before Monday.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 18 April
Walsall 1-1 Harrogate
A lively game this and Harrogate defender Jasper Moon is cautioned.
'Carlisle are getting closer'published at 15:36 British Summer Time 18 April
Carlisle 0-0 Port Vale
Chris Lumsdon
Former Carlisle midfielder on BBC Radio Cumbria
You've got to hit the target there, you have to pick the right ball.
Carlisle are getting closer here.
Postpublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 18 April
Carlisle 0-0 Port Vale
Sean Fusire is found in a bit of space by Cameron Harper but the man on loan at Carlisle from Sheffield Wednesday lifts his effort over.
The Cumbrians giving as good as they get.
CLOSE!published at 15:34 British Summer Time 18 April
Bromley 0-0 Morecambe
Great save from Morecambe's Harry Burgoyne!
Danny Imray is in one-on-one for Bromley, bearing down on the Morecambe goal, but his fierce effort is brilliantly kept out by the Shrimps number one.
Moments later, Bromley have the ball in the back of the net following a corner from the left but Omar Sowunmi is correctly adjudged to have fouled his man before bundling the ball home.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:34 British Summer Time 18 April
Tranmere 0-1 Doncaster
A second yellow card in the game and this time Kristian Dennis is the villain as he fouls Jamie Sterry and referee Scott Tallis waves a yellow card at Tranmere's forward.
Saddlers at sixes and sevenspublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 18 April
Walsall 1-1 Harrogate
Michael Beardmore
BBC Sport at Poundland Bescot Stadium
Walsall have thrown away a 12-point advantage at the top of League Two since January.
And they've thrown away the lead here.
The Saddlers had a slice of luck when Harrogate's James Daly struck the post but failed to clear the danger - Liam Gordon playing a ridiculous short pass inside his area that was intercepted - and the visitors capitalised.
Harrogate have since struck the post and Walsall, much like they have been for the past three months, are at sixes and sevens despite the boost of that early opener.
GOAL: Wrexham 0-1 Bristol Roverspublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 18 April
Taylor Moore (32 mins)
Wow! A huge goal at both ends of the table.
Matt Butcher fizzes in a corner from the left for Bristol Rovers and Taylor Moore rises highest at the near-post to glance an excellent header into the far corner.
That's Moore's first goal for five-and-a-half years and the Gas are out of the bottom three as things stand.
A big setback for automatic promotion-chasing Wrexham.
Postpublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 18 April
Wrexham 0-0 Bristol Rovers
Bristol Rovers work it forward well and almost take the lead.
Matt Butcher spins on a cross into the box and it opens up for him from about 15 yards out but he fires over the bar.
A good opening for the Gas, though.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 18 April
Tranmere 0-1 Doncaster
Harry Clifton takes out Kristian Dennis and the Doncaster man is carded.
Postpublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 18 April
Bolton 0-0 Wycombe
Automatic promotion-chasing Wycombe have struggled to get going in the opening half an hour.
The Chairboys have only seen 36% of the ball and are yet to have a shot.
A cagey affair in Lancashire.
CLOSE!published at 15:30 British Summer Time 18 April
Huddersfield 0-0 Cambridge United
Chance for the visitors and their best move of the first-half so far by a million miles.
Great work from James Gibbons sets up Elias Kachunga but the former Terrier's effort is blocked by some great last-ditch Huddersfield defending.
Promising signs from relegation threatened United.
HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:30 British Summer Time 18 April
Walsall 1-1 Harrogate
Anthony O'Connor has scored an own goal today and now the Harrogate man almost makes up for it by hitting the post.
All that early Walsall optimism has subsided.
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 18 April
Wrexham 0-0 Bristol Rovers
Ollie Rathbone thinks he's given Wrexham the lead but it won't count.
Max Cleworth thumps a brilliant effort towards the far corner and Jed Ward saves very well.
It comes to Jay Rodriguez on the rebound, who squares it for Rathbone to tap into an empty net but they were both stood a long way offside.
Postpublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 18 April
Carlisle 0-0 Port Vale
Good stuff from Carlisle and Callum Whelan forces Ben Amos into a diving stop.
Postpublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 18 April
Wrexham 0-0 Bristol Rovers
Sam Smith is played through for Wrexham and skips round Rovers keeper Jed Ward on the left edge of the box but is forced wide.
He sets it back for Ryan Longman to swing in a cross but it's got too much on it and runs out of play.
'They've got to start taking risks'published at 15:25 British Summer Time 18 April
Bolton 0-0 Wycombe
Sam Avery
BBC Three Counties Radio's Wycombe commentator

This is the issue I've found under Dodds' Wycombe side.
Under Bloomfield you would have five or six players flooding forward, Richard Kone is on his own at the moment.
They've got to start taking more risks.
GOAL Tranmere 0-1 Doncasterpublished at 15:24 British Summer Time 18 April
Luke Molyneux (23 mins)
Doncaster up to third as it stands.
Luke Molyneux knows a thing or two about free-kicks and he lines one up to beat Luke McGhee - that's 16 for the season in all competitions.
League One latestpublished at 15:24 British Summer Time 18 April
Stephen Humphrys has doubled his tally for the day and Barnsley now lead at Leyton Orient 2-0!
Rotherham have equalised at home to Mansfield thanks to Mallik Wilks' 17th minute goal for the Millers.
GOAL Walsall 1-1 Harrogatepublished at 15:23 British Summer Time 18 April
Josh March (22 mins)
Just as we were saying the home side were on top.
The visitors strike the post through James Daly and the follow-up is saved by Tommy Simkin but Josh March makes no mistake with a volley for his eight goal of the season.
All-square.
