  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 2 August

    Barnet 0-2 Fleetwood

    Veteran striker Ched Evans is on for Fleetwood, replacing opening goalscorer Will Davies.

    With Evans' first touch, he volleys the ball goalwards from the tightest of angles but it sails over the bar.

    Why not when you're 2-0 up with 78 minutes on the watch though, hey?

    Barnet 0-2 Fleetwood

    Huge pressure from the hosts but it just won't go in at the moment!

    Anthony Hartigan's well-struck shot is brilliantly blocked by some whole-hearted Fleetwood defending before Ryan Glover attempts to pick out Rhys Browne but the striker's touch is heavy and the ball is cleared.

  3. Postpublished at 16:35 British Summer Time 2 August

    MK Dons 0-0 Oldham

    I'll say with complete confidence that any goal in this game will be the winner.

    Almost 80 minutes in and we haven't had a single shot on target. Still.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:34 British Summer Time 2 August

    Plymouth Argyle 1-2 Barnsley

    The home side bring on skipper Joe Edwards as they look to find a leveller with a shade over 15 minutes to go.

  5. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 16:31 British Summer Time 2 August

    Barnet 0-2 Fleetwood

    Big appeal from the home faithful as Idris Kanu goes down in the box under a challenge from Harrison Neal but the referee waves it away.

    Replays showed Neal won the ball cleanly underneath Kanu's feet. A risky tackle but a well-timed one too.

  6. 'We're in for an intriguing last quarter'published at 16:31 British Summer Time 2 August

    Bradford 2-1 Wycombe

    Sam Avery
    BBC Three Counties Radio's Wycombe commentator

    The angle was tight but Daniel Udoh manages to put it past the keeper.

    The is going to be a really intriguing last quarter of the game.

    GOAL: Bradford 2-1 Wycombepublished at 16:30 British Summer Time 2 August

    Daniel Udoh (68 mins)

    Wycombe are back in it.

    Daniel Udoh meets a delightfully chipped ball in the area and while he is pushed to the right by the defender, but his composure and finish is superb.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:30 British Summer Time 2 August

    Plymouth Argyle 1-2 Barnsley

    Can the home side make their man advantage count as they look to complete their comeback from 2-0 down?

    The away side go to their bench for the final time this afternoon in the wake of Jack Shepherd's red card.

    Connor Barratt and new signing Patrick Kelly are on to try and get this over the line.

  9. Around the grounds in League Onepublished at 16:29 British Summer Time 2 August

    After a first-half own goal put Lincoln City ahead against Reading, the Imps now have their actual first goal of the season through Reeco Hackett to make it 2-0.

    It's a cool finish by Hackett, but took a superb, defence-splitting pass from Conor McGrandles to set it up.

  10. Postpublished at 16:28 British Summer Time 2 August

    Barnet 0-2 Fleetwood

    A good strong run from Barnet substitute Dennis Adeniran down the right hand side seems him bear down on goal.

    His shot is a good one and tests Fleetwood keeper Jay Lynch who makes himself big and parries the shot out for a corner.

    Adeniran might have been better going across goal there instead of trying to beat Lynch at his near post.

  11. 'Referee forgot he'd booked him'published at 16:26 British Summer Time 2 August

    Plymouth Argyle 1-2 Barnsley

    Brent Pilnick
    BBC Sport at Home Park

    Chaos here at Home Park as for a moment referee Declan Bourne forgot that he had booked Barnsley's Jack Shepherd at the end of the first half.

    He gave him a yellow card for a handball and was about to let play go on when he realised he needed to send him off.

    Shades of Graham Poll in the 2006 Word Cup - but at least Mr Bourne realised.

    It has not been the best afternoon for the official...

  12. Postpublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 2 August

    Barnet 0-2 Fleetwood

    Last season's top scorer Callum Stead has yet to put his stamp on this one yet since his arrival eight minutes ago.

    Fleetwood's five man defence has so far stood up to all the questions Barnet have asked so far today.

  13. Around the grounds in League Onepublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 2 August

    #bbcefl

    The 10 men of Port Vale are back in it against Rotherham after Connor Hall pulls a goal back to make it 2-1 on the hour mark.

    Meanwhile, Alfie May has scored a penalty on his Huddersfield Town debut to put the Terriers 2-0 up against Leyton Orient.

    The spot-kick was awarded after Sean Clare fouled Ben Wiles in the area.

  14. RED CARD: Jack Shepherd (Barnsley)published at 16:25 British Summer Time 2 August

    Plymouth 1-2 Barnsley

    Barnsley defender Jack Shepherd is sent off for a second yellow card.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:23 British Summer Time 2 August

    Plymouth Argyle 1-2 Barnsley

    A second injury-enforced sub for the away side.

    Young midfielder Vimal Yoganathan is off and Jamaica international Jon Russell is on.

  16. Postpublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 2 August

    Bradford 2-0 Wycombe

    Wycombe really should have pulled a goal back in this one.

    Magnus Westergaard has the ball played into him on the penalty spot, but he snatches at the chance and blasts his finish well over the bar.

  17. Cambridge United take leadpublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 2 August

    League Two latest

    Cambridge United have taken the lead at home to Cheltenham Town.

    Louis Appere's close-range strike just before the hour mark has put Neil Harris' side in front.

  18. Stevenage extend lead at Bloomfield Roadpublished at 16:19 British Summer Time 2 August

    League One latest

    Stevenage have well and truly turned this game around now.

    The visitors found themselves 1-0 down against Blackpool after just six minutes, but Dan Kemp has just made it 3-1 at the start of the second half after Jamie Reid's first-half double had edged Stevenage ahead.

  19. 'MK Dons are building'published at 16:19 British Summer Time 2 August

    MK Dons 0-0 Oldham

    Phil Brown
    Former Hull manager on BBC Radio Manchester

    MK Dons are just building a head of steam.

    They have made their first change but I don't think they will change their shape.

  20. Postpublished at 16:18 British Summer Time 2 August

    MK Dons 0-0 Oldham

    Just past the hour-mark and we're yet to have a shot on target in this match.

    The home side scored one goal in their final seven matches last season.
