  1. SUBSTITUTION

    Sheff Wed 1-1 Norwich

    Charlie McNeill replaces Svante Ingelsson for the home side.

    Just under 10 minutes to go.

    A win for either side would be so precious.

  2. YELLOW CARD

    Preston 2-1 Swansea

    Andrew Hughes is cautioned for Preston who could now be in for a nervy last few minutes.

  3. CLOSE!

    QPR 1-2 Southampton

    Inches away.

    Sub Karamoko Dembele does brilliantly on the right of the Saints box and stretches to whip in a wicked low cross which somehow evades the sliding Rumarn Burrell at the far post.

    Shades of Gascoigne's agonising miss from Shearer's volleyed cross against Germany in Euro 96 for those of a certain vintage.

  4. goal

    GOAL Preston 2-1 Swansea

    Ji-Sung Eom (80 mins)

    Instant impact.

    He's been on the pitch for four minutes but Ji-Sung Eom has given Swansea some hope.

    The South Korean finds the net from outside the box.

  5. Sheff Wed 1-1 Norwich

    Oh so close for Sheffield Wednesday.

    Norwich goalkeeper Vladan Kovacevic is well out of his area and gifts the ball to Svante Ingelsson but with the goal gaping from the halfway line the Swede shoots wide.

    What a let off for Norwich.

  6. GREAT SAVE!

    Portsmouth 0-0 Wrexham

    End-to-end stuff at Fratton Park and this is another huge save from Josef Bursik.

    Josh Windass' quick free-kick is dummied by Liberato Cacace for Lewis O'Brien to race through on goal, but despite sitting the keeper down he can't lift the ball over him and Bursik blocks brillianly.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Preston 2-0 Swansea

    Swansea are running out of time.

    Eom Ji-Sung and Manuel Benson are on for Goncalo Franco and Liam Cullen.

  8. 'Both teams feel that they can go on and win this game'

    Sheff Wed 1-1 Norwich

    Darren Kenton
    Former Norwich City defender on BBC Radio Norfolk

    This game's getting stretched.

    It really is end-to-end now.

    Both teams feel that they can go on and win this game.

  9. SUBSTITUTION

    Sheff Wed 1-1 Norwich

    Norwich withdraw Jovon Makama and Amankwah Forson is on.

  10. Sheff Wed 1-1 Norwich

    Chris Goreham
    BBC Radio Norfolk commentator

    What a save that was.

    That was a real chance, a couple of really important saves from the Norwich 'keeper in this second half.

  11. goal

    GOAL: QPR 1-2 Southampton

    Rumarn Burrell (73 mins)

    Gavin Bazunu won't want to watch this one back...

    The keeper was recalled in place of Alex McCarthy for this game but he wanders off his line towards a long diagonal sent in from deep on the R's left flank by Jonathan Varane.

    Rumarn Burrell nips in to control the ball in the air in front of the keeper with his touch taking him beyond Bazunu to poke the ball into the unguarded net.

    Game on.

  12. GREAT SAVE!

    Portsmouth 0-0 Wrexham

    Pompey still pressing but Ibane Bowat's powerful header from Josh Murphy's corner is somehow blocked on the line by Arthur Okonkwo.

  13. Sheff Wed 1-1 Norwich

    A chance for Sheffield Wednesday.

    Sean Fusire is in but Vladan Kovacevic blocks with his legs.

    This is like a basketball match now it's so end to end.

  14. SUBSTITUTION

    Sheff Wed 1-1 Norwich

    Ike Ugbo gets a breather for Sheffield Wednesday.

    Bailey Cadamarteri is on.

    Norwich go agonisingly close to taking the lead as Jeffrey Schlupp's shot is is inches wide.

    This is so open now.

  15. SUBSTITUTION

    Preston 2-0 Swansea

    Swansea take off Kaelan Casey.

    Ishe Samuels-Smith is on.

    Preston bring on Michael Smith and Jamal Lewis for Alfie Devine and the man of the moment, Thierry Small.

  16. goal

    GOAL: QPR 0-2 Southampton

    Leo Scienza (69 mins)

    Saints are marching... and it's another Bonfire Night scorcher!

    Leo Scienza is allowed to drive from the halfway line on the left, through the R's half, without a challenge as the defenders show him too much respect.

    He eventually opens up his hips 20 yards from goal and bends a powerful curling shot to the left of the diving Paul Nardi and inside the post.

    Glorious stuff.

    Easy, this management lark, eh Tonda Eckert?

  17. SUBSTITUTIONS

    QPR 0-1 Southampton

    Double change for Tonda Eckert as Adam Armstrong and goalscorer Jay Robinson are withdrawn with Damion Downs and Finn Azaz on in their place.

  18. 'Norwich are having a bit of a spell'

    Sheff Wed 1-1 Norwich

    Ross Wallace
    Ex-Sheffield Wednesday winger on BBC Radio Sheffield

    They are just having a little wobble at the moment are Wednesday.

    Norwich are having a bit of a spell.

    Barry Bannan just needs to keep them calm, they will have further opportunities.

  19. Preston 2-0 Swansea

    Thierry Small scores for Preston against SwanseaGetty Images

    We've been treated to some great goals in this round of midweek Championship games but you'll have to go some way to beating that strike from Preston's Thierry Small tonight.

    He arrowed a 30-yarder beyond Lawrence Vigouroux to light up Deepdale.

  20. GREAT SAVE!

    Portsmouth 0-0 Wrexham

    Josh Murphy is having a purple patch here.

    He cuts in from the left flank, onto his right foot, and whips in a deceptive low shot towards the near post from 20 yards which Arthur Okonkwo does brilliantly to turn past his upright with his fingertips.

    All Pompey at present.
