  1. CLOSE!

    Wrexham 0-0 Wigan

    Another sight of goal for the visitors as Jonny Smith, who used to play for Wrexham, cuts inside from the wing and fizzes an effort past Mark Howard's upright.

  2. 'Fantastic from Wing'

    Reading 1-0 Mansfield

    Mick Gooding
    Ex-Reading player/manager on BBC Radio Berkshire

    A fantastic pass from Wing. He picked the ball up in the centre circle. It looked like he'd try to beat the keeper, but he disguised his pass, slipped it through, and finished well from Camara.

  3. YELLOW CARD

    Grimsby 0-0 Port Vale

    Vale's Jesse Debrah is the first man to go into the referee's notebook following a head collision with Cameron McJannet.

    McJannet has stayed down and is receiving treatment.

  4. goal

    GOAL Reading 1-0 Mansfield

    Mamadi Camara (17 mins)

    We have a breakthrough.

    Mamadi Camara grabs his third EFL goal of the season.

    Lewis Wing plays a beautiful pass allowing Camara to stride forward and beat Christy Pym.

  5. goal

    GOAL: Tranmere 0-1 Barrow

    Jordan Turnbull (11 minutes - own goal)

    A great start for the visitors.

    Robbie Gotts finds space to hit the shot on the edge of the box.

    It takes a wicked deflection off defender Jordan Turnbull and leaves goalkeeper Luke McGee with no chance.

  6. League One latest

    #bbcefl

    Fifteen minutes gone in our 3pm kick-offs in League One and we have just two goals and a surprise with Burton leading at Huddersfield and Crawley lead 1-0 at Exeter.

    A reminder earlier Charlton beat Wycombe 2-1 while it finished 1-1 between Rotherham and Stockport.

  7. goal

    GOAL: MK Dons 1-0 Crewe Alexandra

    Joe White (9 minutes)

    Joe White opens the scoring after collecting a ball from Liam Kelly and firing a low shot past Filip Marschall in the Alex goal.

  8. SUBSTITUTION

    Birmingham 0-0 Blackpool

    Lee Buchanan's afternoon started well but has ended early... the Blues defender has been stretchered off with a knee injury after making that block, with Ethan Laird being sent on by Chris Davies in his stead.

    Not ideal for the Blues to reshuffle so early.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Fleetwood 1-1 Harrogate Town

    Josh March (8 minutes)

    Josh March hits back almost instantly after he glances Stephen Duke-McKenna's cross home.

  10. Reading 0-0 Mansfield

    Scrappy start to this one - we're hearing referee Martin Woods' whistle quite a lot for niggly fouls.

    It hasn't settled down.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Cheltenham 1-0 Notts County

    Sam Stubbs (4 minutes)

    Sam Stubbs heads home his first for the club after a free-kick to the backpost found the defender unmarked.

  12. Wrexham 0-0 Wigan

    Wrexham can stake their claim to an automatic promotion spot today after Wycombe's earlier loss but it is the visitors who have begun the brighter. Dale Taylor almost got on the end of a low centre from Baba Adeeko on the left after he was played into space by Michael Olakigbe.

  13. goal

    GOAL: Fleetwood 1-0 Harrogate Town

    James Bolton (2 minutes)

    James Bolton gets the Pete Wild era underway in fine style with a well-worked set-piece that found the centre-half free to score under no pressure at all.

  14. CLOSE!

    Birmingham 0-0 Blackpool

    Lee Buchanan to the rescue for Blues as he produces a vital close-range block to thwart Kyle Joseph as he looked set to put the visitors into a surprise lead.

  15. Reading 0-0 Mansfield

    It's a quiet start to this one - Lewis Wing has had the game's first shot but it's wide.

    It's the division's fourth best home record against the fifth best on the road so these are two evenly matched sides as their league positions might suggest.

  16. Birmingham 0-0 Blackpool

    Steve Bruce back at St Andrew's for the first time since April 2022 today, that day ended in a 1-0 defeat for his West Brom side, but can his Tangerines halt the Blues momentum.

    They start the game top after Wycombe's defeat, but could they open up some daylight this afternoon? Jay Stansfield starts the day on the City bench, just as Richard Kone did for Wanderers earlier.

  17. CLOSE!

    Grimsby 0-0 Port Vale

    Vale trade the first blow of the match through Rico Richards.

    He drives forward and hits a right-footed shot but his effort is palmed away by Jordan Wright in Grimsby's net.

  18. Reading 0-0 Mansfield

    No surprises that both managers have named unchanged sides from those which started Boxing Day victories.

    Reading were 4-1 winners over Northampton while Mansfield came away from Peterborough with a 3-0 victory.
