    Birmingham 1-1 Bradford

    Well what a 60 seconds or so that was.

    Romoney Critchlow bundled over Jay Stansfield in the box - and referee Scott Oldham opted not to give a penalty.

    Then, to exacerbate matters, the Bantams went straight down the other end and scored.

    What the Blues fans think about it all is unprintable.

    Especially now that Stansfield has suffered such a bad injury from the challenge that he has been stretchered off.

    When he sees that again later, the ref may well think he has made a mistake.

    Six minutes added on at Deepdale. We've already played nearly two of those. Time is running out...

    Preston 1-1 Millwall

    It's been a very stop-start second half and all of a sudden time is almost up.

    Can anyone find a late winner?

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:30 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Preston 1-1 Millwall

    Millwall make their final changes of the night. Casper De Norre and scorer of an excellent free-kick Mihailo Ivanovic are off.

    Aaron Connolly and Aidomo Emakhu enter the fray for the last three minutes plus stoppages.

  5. Huddersfield in front late onpublished at 21:29 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    League One update

    Could this goal hand Huddersfield the points at Shrewsbury?

    A low cross from the right finds Josh Koroma at the back post and he gets a left boot to it to slams it into the roof of the net.

    Lincoln have wrapped it up at Mansfield as Sam Clucas floats a corner from the right all the way into the far corner of the net to make it 2-0.

    Meanwhile, Burton are still clinging on with 10 men at Stevenage as Max Crocombe turns a long range shot round the post.

    Doncaster are down to 10 men at Morecambe but still lead 1-0 with a few minutes to go. Jack Senior flew in with a high boot on Gerard Garner and was shown a straight red card.

    Second-placed AFC Wimbledon have looked far from their best in this game and are still goalless at Fleetwood.

    Liam Bonds had a shot on target from outside the box, but it was a comfortable save for Wimbledon keeper Owen Goodman.

    Notts County and Colchester are still locked at 1-1.

    Birmingham 1-1 Bradford

    Andy Kiwomya
    Ex-Bradford forward and head of performance on BBC Radio Leeds

    They've turned the game on its head, what a strike!

    The fans wanted a penalty for Birmingham, the ref is caught in the middle, but it's great play to go up the other end and score.

    They broke with such passion, the momentum was excellent, Pointon was on hand to finish the move.

    GOAL: Birmingham 1-1 Bradfordpublished at 21:25 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Bobby Pointon (52 mins)

    League Two Bradford have equalised at St Andrew's. Who saw that coming?

    The Bantams charge up field after dispossessing Birmingham deep in their own half. The hosts are furious, they think Jay Stansfield was fouled and they should have had a penalty. The referee disagrees.

    Antoni Sarcevic recieves the ball wide on the right, and whips in a devilish cross. Bobby Pointon is there to finish.

    A ruthless counter attack and a shock equaliser. Game on.

    Preston 1-1 Millwall

    Josh Coburn looks to almost get in behind for Millwall but Liam Lindsay scampers back well to block his effort from the edge of the box.

    Less than eight minutes to go at Deepdale.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 21:22 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Preston 1-1 Millwall

    Millwall boss Alex Neil makes a double switch as Billy Mitchell and Luke Cundle are withdrawn for George Honeyman and George Saville.

    Preston then also make their final changes with Will Keane and Ryan Ledson on in place of Stefan Thordarson and goalscorer Emil Riis.

  11. CLOSE!published at 21:18 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Preston 1-1 Millwall

    So close to a second for Preston from Milutin Osmajic!

    Kaine Kesler-Hayden fizzes an excellent ball down the line to Robbie Brady on the right, who then crosses for Osmajic, but he can't quite keep his effort down and it flies narrowly over the top from about 15 yards out.

  12. Wycombe breathing spacepublished at 21:17 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    It's now 2-0 to Wycombe against Bristol Rovers.

    A ball over the top found Danile Udoh in the area. He brought it down and slid a right-foot finish under the goalkeeper.

    It's now looking like a great night for the Chairboys with Wrexham still trailing Leyton Orient 2-1. Wycombe moving five points clear of the North Walians in third as things stand.

    Huddersfield, who began the night in sixth, are still being held at Shrewsbury. And they're lucky not to be behind as John Marquis saw a shot deflected onto the crossbar.

    Preston haven't beaten Millwall in their past 11 league meetings (D4 L7). About now would be a pretty good time to change that stat.

    Femi Azeez tries a very ambitious effort from distance for Millwall but it's nothing more than a pea-roller in the end and trickles through to Freddie Woodman.

    It's all been a bit scrappy in the past five minutes or so.

    Fleetwood's Rhys Bennett has come the closest of anyone to breaking the deadlock against AFC Wimbledon with a header which flashed just wide of the goal, a chance that all stemmed from a free-kick from Mackenzie Hunt. Still no goals at Highbury.

    Morecambe have come close to equalising through Marcus Dackers' header, which flew across Teddy Sharman-Lowe's net. Doncaster have lost some of their dominance in the second half. Doncaster hold on to their 1-0 lead.

    Notts County have continued to dominate possession with 69% of the ball, but since taking the lead in the first half they have been second to Colchester with chances created. The game remains 1-1

  15. 'Stansfield to the rescue'published at 21:12 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    HT: Birmingham 1-0 Bradford

    Darren Carter
    Ex-Birmingham midfielder on BBC Radio WM

    Blues have dominated the game in terms of possession, Bradford have done really well to subdue them and clearly had a game plan.

    It was the bit of quality that opened the game up, and that's what the difference was.

    He had two players around him, Jay Stansfield, he managed to control it and hammer it into the net.

    Once again, he is the man who comes to the rescue for Blues.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:11 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Preston 1-1 Millwall

    Sam Greenwood's night is over for Preston as he makes way for Mads Frokjaer-Jensen with a little over 20 minutes plus stoppages remaining.

    Both of these sides could really do with finding a winner to help boost their respective play-off hopes this season.

    I feel that the team talk would have been the same, keep doing what you’re doing.

    It’s still a close game, Bradford have work to do, but they’re definitely capable of getting a goal back.

    They had a few half-chances.

  18. A touch of classpublished at 21:09 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    HT: Birmingham 1-0 Bradford

    Ged Scott
    BBC Sport at St Andrew's

    There may be a whole division between these two teams - not to mention several leagues, purely in terms of wealth.

    But the Bantams had really punched above their weight tonight until that superb strike from Jay Stansfield.

    An absolute touch of class.

    And that's sure changed the mood here a little.

    "What a waste of money," sang the Tilton, with some irony.

  19. HALF-TIMEpublished at 21:08 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Birmingham 1-0 Bradford

    Jay Stansfield's moment of magic is the last action of the first half.

    Those in St Andrew's will have gone from nervy of a shock, to confident of a place in the EFL Trophy final with one swivel and shot.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:07 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Preston 1-1 Millwall

    Millwall's Joe Bryan goes into a challenge on Kaine Kesler-Hayden on the halfway line and the ref sees it as a bookable offence.
