    The breakthrough!

    Bradford had held out well in the first half, but Jay Stansfield has scored a corker to put them ahead.

    The ex-Fulham man turns beautifully and volleys into the bottom corner. Clinical execution after a frustrating half.

    Birmingham will go into the tunnel with a spring in their step. Bradford's game plan will have to change.

  3. Wycombe leadpublished at 21:01 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    It's been hard work for Wycombe but they find a goal at home to Bristol Rovers.

    They work it down the left and a low ball into the area finds Cameron Humphreys who turns and slides a low shot into the bottom-right corner to make it 1-0.

    And after surviving a penalty miss, Burton are now down to 10 men at Crawley. Terence Vancooten pulls down Jamie Reid, through on goal, and it's an easy decision for the referee. But the Brewers still lead 1-0.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:01 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Preston 1-1 Millwall

    This is a sad sight for Millwall fans... Ra’ees Bangura-Williams is limping off gingerly with an injury.

    He's replaced by Middlesbrough loanee Josh Coburn, who is making his first appearance since breaking his foot at Oxford on 30 November.

  5. Colchester equalise at Meadow Lanepublished at 21:00 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    League Two update

    Despite having more chances in the match, Fleetwood haven't been able to capitalise on their opportunities against AFC Wimbledon, and it has been the same story in the first 10 minutes of the second half. It remains 0-0

    After Colchester pressing throughout the first half, a low cross into the box from Liam Payne found the feet of Tyreece Simpson who was sliding in. The goal was given as an own goal with Notts County's Zak Johnson getting the final touch. It is 1-1 at Meadow lane.

    Morecambe have come out much improved, with a number of early chances in the second half. It was Harvey Macadam who took a shot from the edge of the box, but dragged it wide. It remains 0-1 Doncaster.

  6. Postpublished at 20:59 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Preston 1-1 Millwall

    For all the talk of these sides perhaps lacking a bit of firepower, we've seen two excellent goals from distance in this game, first from Millwall's Mihailo Ivanovic and then Preston striker Emil Riis.

  7. Postpublished at 20:57 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Preston 1-1 Millwall

    Aston Villa loanee Kaine Kesler-Hayden with some good work on the right for Preston. He cuts inside from the right onto his left foot and tries to bend one to the far corner but it doesn't have enough whip on it.

    A promising start to this second half for the hosts.

  8. Wrexham behindpublished at 20:56 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    League One update

    Leyton Orient have come out much the brighter after the break at Wrexham and go ahead with a superb strike.

    A corner is cleared to the top of the area and Jamie Donley meets it with his left foot and slams a crisp hit into the bottom-left corner.

    And so close for Wigan to retaking the lead at Crawley. Dale Taylor put them ahead before the break and now hits the post with a stooping header!

    And a penalty to Stevenage! But Jamie Reid crashes it miles over the bar! Burton still lead 1-0.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:55 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Preston 1-1 Millwall

    Millwall attacker Ra’ees Bangura-Williams pulls back Lewis Gibson as the Preston man tries to drive forward and picks up a booking for his troubles.

  10. CLOSE!published at 20:53 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Birmingham 0-0 Bradford

    Bradford have just had a big chance to go in front.

    The visitors, who have sucked in pressure for nearly 40 minutes, caught Birmingham napping in their own half.

    Jamie Walker teed up Bradley Halliday for a volley inside the penalty area, but a last-gasp block from Ben Davies kept it goalless.

    Birmingham need to be careful, the underdogs pose a threat.

    An equaliser for Preston early in the second half and what a hit this is!

    Millwall defender Japhet Tanganga fails to deal with a bouncing ball about 25 yards out and Emil Riis latches onto it for Preston and smashes a brilliant half-volley into the bottom corner from range.

    All square again at Deepdale and a perfect start to the half for Paul Heckingbottom's side.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:48 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Preston 0-1 Millwall

    Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom has made a change at the interval.

    Brad Potts has been replaced by Milutin Osmajic who looks to be playing up top alongside Emil Riis.

    We're getting back under way in 10 games across the Championship, League One and League Two.

    Some big halves of football coming up at both ends of each table...

  14. 'It's been a little too safe'published at 20:44 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Birmingham 0-0 Bradford

    Darren Carter
    Ex-Birmingham midfielder on BBC Radio WM

    Blues have controlled the game as you thought they would, they've had by far the most possession.

    I feel it's been a little too safe, when they've risked it, they've had chances to score.

    When they have found Willumsson, they looked dangerous, the final bit of quality has been missing though.

    They need to up the ante I think.

    Notts County celebrate scoringImage source, Rex Features

    Notts County still lead Colchester through Conor Grant's early goal, but the visitors have been pressing for an equaliser. County have wobbled a few times but it remains 1-0 at Meadow Lane.

    Doncaster's third minute opener from Rob Street is still the only goal of the game, with relegation threatened Morecambe struggling to create chances. The Shrimps haven't had a shot on target yet and it remains 1-0.

    The only 0-0 game in League Two has come courtesy of Fleetwood and AFC Wimbledon with neither side able to break the deadlock. Wimbledon have registered the only proper chance of the game, despite Fleetwood racking up nine shots so far.

  16. CLOSE!published at 20:39 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Birmingham 0-0 Bradford

    Jay Stansfield is a whisker away.

    League One's top scorer takes down a lofted ball beautifully on the edge of the penalty area, before firing a volley into the stanchion.

    Birmingham are utterly dominant when it comes to possession, but to credit the League Two underdogs, that is the first time their defence has been truly breached.

  17. League One half-time headlinespublished at 20:37 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    #bbcefl

    Wrexham have had the better of things against Leyton Orient but it's all square at the break. Ollie Rathbone gave the Welsh side an early lead but Charlie Kelman equalised.

    It's also level in Buckinghamshire with no way through so far for Wycombe. They're 0-0 with Bristol Rovers with both goalkeepers making saves.

    Burton hit the bar twice inside 30 seconds at Stevenage before Charlie Webster found a goal at Broadhall Way. 1-0 to the Brewers.

    Dale Taylor's close-range header put Wigan in front at Crawley but a wonderful right-foot strike from Charlie Barker quickly levelled to make it 1-1 at half-time.

    Paudie O'Connor's early header has given Lincoln a 1-0 half-time lead at Mansfield.

    And Josh Koroma saw a shot headed off the line but that's the closest Huddersfield have got at Shrewsbury and it's 0-0.

    Most of the football so far played in the Bradford half.

    But, despite showing the visitors a few of their best moves, no sign of any breakthrough.

    It had all gone a bit flat, so the packed Tilton End have just upped the ante with an impromptu burst of Keep Right On To The End Of The Road.

    It may indeed prove a long road tonight.

  19. 'Discipline from Bradford'published at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Birmingham 0-0 Bradford

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

    Bradford are having to be disciplined, they're having to make sure their distances are correct.

    Birmingham will try to play through you, which is not what we will want.

    Bradford are rushing with their passes though, they need to settle down.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:31 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Preston 0-1 Millwall

    Millwall celebrate scoringImage source, Rex Features

    Advantage Millwall at the break thanks to one moment of pure quality from Mihailo Ivanovic.

    Both sides had chances in the first half as Preston saw a Liam Lindsay effort cleared off the line, while Ivanovic struck the crossbar with a header for the visitors.

    And it was Ivanovic who opened the scoring for the Lions with a wonderful curling effort over the wall from a free-kick about 25 yards out.

    A good half for Alex Neil's side. Paul Heckingbottom has work to do to keep any hopes of a play-off spot realistically alive for Preston.
