Yuki Ohashi (83 mins)
Two Blackburn debutants get on the scoresheet!
Derby will be hoping they're not starting the season as they mean to go on.
After Andi Weimann found the net on his debut earlier, Sammie Szmodics picks out Yuki Ohashi to repeat the feat and dink over Rams keeper Josh Vickers to get his Rovers career off to a perfect start.
Preston 0-2 Sheff Utd
Preston just can't get hold of the ball at the minute.
Sheffield United are knocking around passes they really have no right to and rarely look like losing the ball.
You can sense some frustration from the hosts.
Preston 0-2 Sheff Utd
Andre Brooks comes off for Sheffield United after a cracking night for the Blades.
He's replaced by Rhian Brewster.
Barnsley 1-2 Mansfield
Another full-circle moment at Oakwell, with player-coach Conor Hourihane coming on for his first Barnsley appearance since 2017.
The home side have been at it in this second half, but they still can't find that all-important equaliser. Mansfield are doing just about enough.
Blackburn 3-1 Derby
Eric Steele
Former Derby and Man Utd goalkeeper on BBC Radio Derby
Derby looked tired, they gave the ball away cheaply, and if you do that in the Championship you will be punished.
Blackburn have been gifted the last two goals.
Sammie Szmodics (76 mins)
Who else?
You know, when Derby scored their equaliser not so long ago, it looked like they might dominate this half.
But Blackburn have come roaring back and Callum Brittain's low ball - which came courtesy of a clever lay-up by Yuki Ohashi - is thumped home by Sammie Szmodics.
Is that his last effort for Blackburn before he leaves the club?

Another Preston change.
This time Stefan Thordarson comes off and Mads Frokjaer takes his place.
15 minutes for the hosts to find a way back against Sheffield United.
Blackburn 2-1 Derby
Eric Steele
Former Derby and Man Utd goalkeeper on BBC Radio Derby
Derby out of position and behind again.
Andi Weimann, on his debut, could not miss.
I do not think he would have scored with his first touch on his debut for his new club before!
Andi Weimann (71 mins)
A debut goal for Andi Weimann and it's against his former club!
This is a brilliant goal from Blackburn and they've not taken long to respond to Derby's leveller.
Hayden Carter picks up the ball on the right of the Rams' box, beats his marker, whips a ball in and Weimann heads home at the far post.

Kieffer Moore can't quite find a a third goal for Sheffield United.
Some incredible build-up play from Andre Brooks sees Moore teed up but he slices wide.
Preston 0-2 Sheff Utd
Brad Potts tries to exploit Sheffield United failing to clear their lines at the back.
He works onto the loose ball and tries to fire in at the near post but his effort is pushed away by Blades keeper Adam Davies.
Preston's corner that follows is immediately cleared upfield by the visitors.
Blackburn 1-1 Derby
Malcolm Christie
Former Derby striker on BBC Radio Derby
We need a good 20 minutes from Mendez-Laing, even though he had a poor first half, a decent performance from him now could win us this game.

4000 fans jumping up and down, what a sight to have back, brilliant.
Will Wright (64 mins)
Swindon have been more of a threat in this second half and now they are level.
Will Wright driving forwards from defence to fire a screamer into the top corner.
Not a bad way to equalise.

Malcolm Christie

Derby equalise and you have to say they deserve it.
(Nathaniel) Mendez-Laing bends it into the penalty area from the outside, floated into that far post.
It is a magnificent header from Curtis Nelson.
Curtis Nelson (66 mins)
Image source, Rex FeaturesThere's the equaliser!
Derby have come into this second half much better than they way they ended the first.
A corner is played short, then whipped into the Blackburn box by Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Curtis Nelson heads home from close range.
Blackburn 1-0 Derby
A triple Blackburn change.
Joe Rankin-Costello, Ryan Hedges and Makhtar Gueye come off, with Andi Weimann and Yuki Ohashi making their Blackburn debuts.
Surprisingly, depending on how you look at it given he's been linked with a move away all summer, Sam Szmodics also comes on for Rovers.
Blackburn 1-0 Derby

(Nathaniel) Mendez-Laing has got to keep his width, we do not need him coming in off the line at the moment.
Preston 0-2 Sheff Utd
Preston make a change.
Sam Greenwood and Will Keane make way for Milutin Osmajic and Kaine Kesler-Hayden.
