    Bradford 2-0 Luton

    Sam Avery
    BBC Three Counties Radio's Wycombe commentator

    Luton just need a bit more physicality in this game because of the way that Bradford are playing.

    Luton have only really opened up Bradford once since the restart.

    It's the least they deserve...

    Another cross from one-time Luton player Josh Neufville out wide causes problems for the Hatters and Bobby Pointon is on hand to turn home from close range in front of The Kop.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 16 August

    Blackpool 3-2 Huddersfield

    The end of a bonkers first half.

    Huddersfield went ahead through Ben Wiles after just four minutes but Niall Ennis struck twice either side of a Lee Evans blockbuster to turn the game on its head, the first goals the Terriers had conceded this season.

    Lynden Gooch lashed the visitors back into it before Ennis was sent off for a lunge on Jack Whatmough.

    The first five shots on target were goals.

    What does the second half have in store for us?

  11. 'Huddersfield are a bit sloppy'published at 15:50 British Summer Time 16 August

    Blackpool 3-2 Huddersfield

    Paul Ogden
    Huddersfield Town commentator, BBC Radio Leeds

    Huddersfield Town are playing a little bit sloppy today, by their new standards this season.

    The advice for Huddersfield would be play risk free as Blackpool are down to ten men.

    This has been a brilliant watch!

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 16 August

    Crewe 1-0 Crawley

    Crewe head to the tunnel the better after Tommi O'Reilly tucks away an opener.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 16 August

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 16 August

    Bromley 1-1 Fleetwood Town

    Even at the break.

    Fleetwood struck first through James Bolton's fleet feet before Bromley struck back via Marcus Dinanga's cool header.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 16 August

    Bromley 1-1 Fleetwood Town

    Bromley's Mitch Pinnock is cautioned for a foul on Shaun Rooney.

    There's just the one extra minute to play.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 16 August

    Bradford 1-0 Luton

    Stephen Humphrys first goal for Bradford has the Bantams ahead at the break.

    The hosts have enjoyed the best of the opening half and Humphrys went close with an angled strike and saw a header kept out by Josh Keeley too.

    Work to do for Matt Bloomfield and the Hatters.

  17. CLOSE!published at 15:46 British Summer Time 16 August

    Bradford 1-0 Luton

    Bradford don't want to settle for one.

    Antoni Sarcevic has already seen a shot blocked and now Max Power has driven towards the edge of the box before curling a shot past Josh Keeley's post.

  18. 'An excellent contest so far'published at 15:44 British Summer Time 16 August

    Barnsley 0-0 Bolton

    Sanny Rudravajhala
    BBC Sport at Oakwell Stadium

    Oh my! Every home fan in the main stand around us was on their feet then! A period of possession by Barnsley before they work it out wide. It’s an early in-swinger from Nathanael Ogbeta on the left flank and, somehow, David McGoldrick volleys wide as we all think he must have scored from point-blank range.

    It’s been an excellent contest so far. Amario Cozier-Duberry has been lively for Bolton and found himself through but smothered by ‘keeper Murphy Cooper early on.

  19. Postpublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 16 August

    Bromley 1-1 Fleetwood Town

    Bromley's Corey Whitely is back at it again.

    This time his attempt in front of goal is a curling volley but it drifts right of goal.
