    When it's not your day, it's not your day.

    Luton are feeling that they are not getting the rub of the green here.

    If it wasn't already over, this game is now.

    Marcus Edwards will be giving the Luton defence nightmares tonight.

    He takes it all the way to the byline, the Hatters players think it's gone out but play goes on and he whips it in to the box for Josh Brownhill to tap in Burnley's third of the afternoon.

    They scored four away at Kenilworth Road on the opening day of the season and there's plenty of time for a repeat of that.

    Tyrese Campbell (56 mins)

    The Blades are in front!

    The ball is crossed into the box and Tyrese Campbell nods it in.

    It's a big goal for Sheffield United who as it stands are now level on points with Leeds.

  6. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March

    Sunderland 1-1 Cardiff

    So close for Cardiff and a very good save from Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson as he tips Yousef Salech's effort onto the post.

    Bristol City have huffed and puffed and finally have the breakthrough.

    They win a penalty as Alfie Jones brings down Sinclair Armstrong in the box and Anis Mehmeti levels the score.

    You won't see a more deserved equaliser all season.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:14 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March

    Sheffield United 0-0 Preston North End

    Preston hit the post!

    A pass is cut back to Sam Greenwood on the edge of the box and he thumps an effort against the post.

  9. Postpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March

    Sunderland 1-1 Cardiff

    Ethan Horvath in the Cardiff goal safely pouches Chris Rigg's effort.

    It's a decent start from both sides to the second period.

  10. Postpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March

    Bristol City 0-1 Hull

    The second half begins much as the first ended at Ashton Gate, with the hosts applying all the early pressure.

    Hull keeper Ivor Pandur saves from Jason Knight and from the following corner saves again from Scott Twine.

    This will be a long half for the 10 players of Hull.

  11. Postpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March

    Swansea 1-0 Middlesbrough

    A chance for the away side to get back on level terms.

    Middlesbrough's Kelechi Iheanacho finds Tommy Conway who shoots low and just wide of the target.

  12. Postpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March

    Sunderland 1-1 Cardiff

    Dimitrios Goutas for Cardiff has the first effort on goal in the second period but his header is off target.

    The warning signs are there for Sunderland and remember, Cardiff have won their past three at the Stadium of Light.

  13. 'This is tough'published at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March

    Burnley 2-0 Luton

    Jonathan Smith
    Former Luton midfielder on BBC Three Counties Radio

    You are half hoping that Burnley take their foot off their gas and that will help us.

    Luton are chasing around hoping trying to get a foot on the ball.

    This is tough.

    James Trafford is hardly getting a kick.

  14. Postpublished at 16:10 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March

    Burnley 2-0 Luton

    Burnley are cruising towards a win that would take them into the automatic play-off places, with Sheffield United being held at home against Preston.

    They are also on course for a 26th Championship clean sheet. Astonishing numbers.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March

    Plymouth 0-2 Sheff Wed

    One change for the visitors as Pol Valentin replaces Svante Ingelsson but Plymouth make a triple swap.

    Callum Wright, Nathanael Ogbeta and Julio Pleguezuelo are off with Ryan Hardie, Tymoteusz Puchacz and Victor Palsson are on.

  16. 'Damage limitation now for Luton'published at 16:08 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March

    Surely it's damage limitation now for Matt Bloomfield's side.

    Plymouth 0-2 Sheff Wed

    As it stands Plymouth are heading to the bottom of the Championship.

    Boss Miron Muslic has proven himself to be an inspirational character but he needs his players to help out a bit...

    We're getting back under way in the second halves of this afternoon's games.

  19. 'Surface starting to cut up'published at 16:04 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March

    HT: Derby 2-1 Blackburn

    Ben Croucher
    BBC Final Score at Pride Park

    Say what you like about the perfectly pedicured pitches these professionals play on these days, this Pride Park surface is starting to cut up.

    If that turns this contest into a scrappier affair, Derby boss John Eustace won't mind.

    Derby have been on the back foot after that stunning opening seven minutes, and the party atmosphere has subsided into something more subdued.

  20. 'We've seen a reaction from Derby'published at 16:00 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March

    HT: Derby 2-1 Blackburn

    Eric Steele
    Former Derby and Man Utd goalkeeper on BBC Radio Derby

    The opening nine, ten minutes along with the 45 was probably the best we've seen of Derby.

    There has got to be a reaction to the season and we've seen it.

    They've been committed but this a very dangerous Blackburn team and we've seen that with their goal.

    It's a warning sign for Derby that we have to be switched on in the second half.
