Port Vale 2-0 Bromley

Ben Thompson seems to fancy himself for a Bromley goal today.
He's had one shot saved and now a rasping volley is inches over.

Northampton 0-0 Reading

There he goes again.
Dara Costelloe pushes Royals keeper Joel Pereira into a stop but the home player won't feel too bad about it.
Flag is up. He's offside.
'Good defending from Carlisle'published at 15:39 British Summer Time 12 April
Morecambe 0-1 Carlisle
Mark Boyd
Former Carlisle player on BBC Radio Cumbria Sport

It is good defending from Carlisle, bringing the ball down and getting it clear.
That is exactly what you want from your defenders when you are leading.
YELLOW CARDSpublished at 15:38 British Summer Time 12 April
Morecambe 0-1 Carlisle

Lee Angol collects the game's first caution.
Given what's at stake it's maybe surprising it's taken this long but the home forward receives a yellow card.
One brings two as Carlisle's Callum Whelan has Ben Toner flashing the card again.
CLOSE!published at 15:37 British Summer Time 12 April
Lincoln 1-1 Shrewsbury

Salop's Alex Gilliead swirls a ball towards goal from outside the box and it's quite good.
It ripples the top netting but the wrong side, rolling off the roof of the net.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 12 April
Port Vale 2-0 Bromley

Kamarl Grant is the second Bromley man on referee Matt Corlett's naughty list as he's cautioned for dissent.
Lorent Tolaj is a man full of confidence and hits an overhead kick over the bar.
GREAT SAVE!published at 15:35 British Summer Time 12 April
Northampton 0-0 Reading

Reading's Charlie Savage tries his luck from outside the box with a clean strike but Cobblers keeper Lee Burge is on it in a flash to keep it out of the bottom right corner.
Then, it's Northampton's turn to go on the attack.
The opportunity is given to Cameron McGeehan but he whacks his shot well wide of the net.

Port Vale 2-0 Bromley

Bromley almost halve the deficit with big defender Omar Sowunmi trying to force the ball home in a scramble but Ben Amos makes the save.
At the moment the day is panning-out perfectly for Vale.

A very good half an hour, totally deserved lead.
Bromley have only had half a chance themselves, they have to work out what they are going to do.

Lincoln 1-1 Shrewsbury

Lincoln look for a fast response as Reeco Hackett is played in from Tom Bayliss' through ball but the Imps forward's slice heads wide.

Not as many goals in League Two, but what goals we have had carry weight at both ends of the table.
Accrington now lead Tranmere 2-0 in a big game at the bottom. Tyler Walton is the scorer and Tranmere will be starting to look over their shoulder.
At the top, high-flyers Walsall, who seemed destined for automatic promotion a few weeks ago, are BEHIND at Barrow. Aaron Pressley has found the back of the net for the hosts.
'Lincoln have gone a bit flat'published at 15:29 British Summer Time 12 April
Lincoln 1-1 Shrewsbury
Mark Hone
Former Lincoln City defender on BBC Radio Lincolnshire

What you don't want to do is concede the goal and let your opponents hold onto something, and that is exactly what we have done.
We have just gone a bit flat, Shrewsbury have woken themselves up.
The fans are getting annoyed and I am not surprised, I'm getting annoyed myself.

This one does count.
Ryan Croasdale cuts the ball back and Lorent Tolaj has his fourth goal in three appearances.
Vale are timing their run perfectly.
GOAL Morecambe 0-1 Carlislepublished at 15:28 British Summer Time 12 April
Georgie Kelly (28 mins)

This could be HUGE!
Jack Ellis lifts in a cross and Georgie Kelly heads firmly into the net for his third goal in two games.
'Port Vale putting balls in the box'published at 15:27 British Summer Time 12 April
Port Vale 1-0 Bromley
Phil Sproson
Former Port Vale captain on BBC Radio Stoke

Daniel Imray is certainly the danger for Bromley. He is just so quick and causing problems.
Port Vale are just putting balls in the box which is good because it just asks questions of the defence.
Postpublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 12 April
Morecambe 0-0 Carlisle

It's beginning to open up a bit and Matt Dennis has a dip but is off target for Carlisle.
Carlisle know defeat today could mean relegation being confirmed over the Easter weekend.
GOAL: Lincoln 1-1 Shrewsburypublished at 15:25 British Summer Time 12 April
Aaron Pierre (23 mins)

Well, okay then. Game on.
It's the man making his landmark appearance, Aaron Pierre, who nudges the ball in at close range to level things up.
Not quite enough though. Now they need to go on and find a winner.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:24 British Summer Time 12 April
Northampton 0-0 Reading

Nesta Guinness-Walker fouls Reading's Chem Campbell and picks up the first yellow card of the match as a result.
Postpublished at 15:23 British Summer Time 12 April
Morecambe 0-0 Carlisle

A first proper sight of goal for Morecambe falls to the man they would it to but leading scorer Lee Angol fires it wide.
The Shrimps are looking to win three in a row at home in the same season for the first time since January 2023.
Postpublished at 15:21 British Summer Time 12 April
Northampton 0-0 Reading

Dara Costelloe is feeling it today.
The Cobblers man takes yet another shot, but the set up is less than ideal and he can't make the most of a difficult angle to aim his strike on target.
