Port Vale 1-0 Bradford
Better from Bradford as George Lapslie's ball in from the right flank is superbly controlled by Tyreik Wright in the area. He turns on a sixpence and gets off a low shot but it's too close to Ben Amos who holds on gratefully.

Adam Yates
Former Vale defender on BBC Radio Stoke
Jayden Stockley just gives Vale that outlet, they know he can make the ball stick, and they can play off him.
Vale are also pressing well.

Another flurry of goals in League One!
The post Steve Evans era at Rotherham is up and running as Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu has put them ahead at Northampton.
Matt Godden has put play-off chasing and in-form Charlton ahead at Mansfield and Abraham Odoh has spoilt Crawley's early party for Peterborough.
A home win in that one could be huge for the relegation picture!

Port Vale 1-0 Bradford
Brad Halliday tries to atone for his booking by unleashing a powerful drive from range which skids past the base of Ben Amos' far post.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:12 British Summer Time 1 April
Cambridge 0-1 Wrexham
Liam Bennett unleashes for Cambridge but only sees his shot ricochet off a man in red.
He then gets himself in trouble for a foul on Ollie Rathbone, earning a yellow for his efforts.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:10 British Summer Time 1 April
Port Vale 1-0 Bradford
Vale's Rhys Walters skips past a couple of tackles in midfield before being chopped down by Brad Halliday who picks up a yellow card for his trouble.

Crewe have struck an early blow to Grimsby in their play-off push.
Ryan Cooney's long throw was kept in well by Mickey Demetriou and the ball eventually finds Christopher Long who scores. Big goal.
It gets worse for the Mariners too, as Colchester have gone in front at Gillingham thanks to Jack Payne.

Anything you can do, Birmingham want to prove they can do better.
It took Wrexham just four minutes to score the opener but Blues have took just three as Keshi Anderson drills the ball into the top right corner from the middle of the box.
Pure class.

Cambridge 0-1 Wrexham
As Wrexham curl a ball into the box, U's keeper Nathan Bishop goes bursting off his line to collect and quell the danger early.
Only communication is a little lacking as he clatters into his own defender James Gibbons and sends his teammate to the ground.
Gibbons is okay though and Bishop does as he intended by ending the Welsh attack.
GOAL: Doncaster 1-1 Walsallpublished at 20:04 British Summer Time 1 April
Taylor Allen (18 mins)
Game on!
Oisin McEntee pinches possession on halfway and drives down the right, all the way to the dead ball line where he swings in a glorious cross which is met by the head of Taylor Allen who glances his effort across goal and inside Ted Sharman-Lowe's post.
A fine way to score his ninth of the season. He's supposed to be a centre-back, remember...
Some game, this...

Leyton Orient are ahead after Daniel Agyei finished the rebound after Charlie Kelman saw his shot saved.
Crawley are also ahead through Junior Quitirna who applied the finish but it was all about the run and pass by Jeremy Kelly, and Exeter are also ahead.
After peppering the Barnsley goalkeeper, Ryan Trevitt finally found the net.

Doncaster 1-0 Walsall
Tom Marlow
BBC Radio WM commentator
Luke Molyneux with a 15th of the season, but it is all about the lovely through ball from Owen Bailey, precise and accurate.
GOAL: Doncaster 1-0 Walsallpublished at 20:02 British Summer Time 1 April
Luke Molyneux (17 mins)
Against the run of play, the hosts are ahead...
That's 13 for the season in League Two for Luke Molyneux who picks the ball up outside the box, drives forward and unleashes a low shot from 20 yards which beats Sam Hornby to his right and finds the bottom corner.
Walsall were on top, but are now up against it...
Postpublished at 20:01 British Summer Time 1 April
Doncaster 0-0 Walsall
Walsall win a free-kick a few yards outside the Rovers box and there's only one man who's going to take it.
Taylor Allen, who scored from a free-kick in the dying minutes on Saturday, bends his left-footed effort a yard or so past Ted SHarman-Lowe's post this time, to jeers from the home crowd.

The late game has begun.
There's plenty of action already across the 22 other games in play. What will this one have in store, we wonder?

Port Vale 1-0 Bradford
Vale were almost in for a second within two minutes but Ben Garrity's effort is too close to Sam Walker in the City goal.

On his weaker side, the defender Sam Walker just could not get a solid enough block on that.
10th goal of the season for Lorent Tolaj and now Vale Park is rocking!
It is not the start that Graham Alexander or Bradford City would have wanted, but at least it came early and they still have time to get back in it.

Goals flying in League Two!
Mark Helm has opened the scoring for Fleetwood against Accrington! A strong finish after composing himself. His seventh of the season!

Lorent Tolaj (11 mins)
Image source, Rex Features
Pretty low-key start in Burslem.... but it's burst into life now...
This is some hit from Lorent Tolaj who picks up the ball 25 yards out, shifts inside onto his left foot and whips in a curling shot which might have just nicked off a defender on its way past Sam Walker and into the top corner off the underside of the bar.
The home fans go wild. Vale are level on points with the Bantams as things stand.
Pitch dimensions an issue for Alexander's Bradford?published at 19:56 British Summer Time 1 April

I do wonder if this slightly larger pitch suits the formation and set up Graham Alexander has deployed.
