    GOAL: Wigan 0-3 Birminghampublished at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 4 January

    Willum Thor Willumsson (61 mins)

    Game over? Birmingham City make it three.

    It's another excellent move by Blues and Ethan Laird is the provider again, squaring it for Willum Thor Willumsson to tap home from close range.

    Surely that will be three points for Chris Davies' side barring a miracle?

    Huddersfield 0-0 Rotherham

    Still goalless at the John Smith's Stadium.

    Mallik Wilks and Alex MacDonald have both seen efforts blocked for Rotherham, but Huddersfield are dominating possession.

    The Millers are just trying to catch them on the break. Will either find the breakthrough?

    Barnsley have struck early to triple their lead over Crawley Town.

    Max Watters scores from close quarters to make it two and Davis Keillor-Dunn follows up with another.

    The Tykes lead 3-0 while Exeter have opened the scoring in their game with Bolton through a Demetri Mitchell tap-in.

    Doncaster 0-1 Port Vale

    Billy Sharp is through again and poises himself to strike from close-range but is thwarted by some excellent defending from Port Vale defender Ben Heneghan who makes the challenge.

  7. RED CARD: Alex Hartridge (Wycombe)published at 16:14 Greenwich Mean Time 4 January

    Wycombe 1-0 Blackpool

    Oh dear. Could this be a route back into the game for Blackpool?

    Wycombe centre-back Alex Hartridge has picked up a second booking for a late challenge outside the box and he's been given his marching orders by the ref.

    The hosts will have to play the remaining 35 minutes with 10 men.

    Wycombe and Birmingham opening up a four-point gap on Wrexham as things stand.

    The Welsh side have also played two games more than Blues and one more than the Chairboys.

    Still a long way to go in these second halves, of course.

    Wrexham 0-0 Peterborough

    Did Wrexham check the half time scores and spotted that they are the only one in the top three not leading?

    Maybe so as Matty James aims for an opener at the edge of the six yard box but sees it fly high.

    Birmingham will be ruing the fact they haven't scored a third at the start of the second half. They have started very strongly.

  11. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:10 Greenwich Mean Time 4 January

    Doncaster 0-1 Port Vale

    Jordan Gibson puts in a cross which veteran Doncaster striker Billy Sharp gets on the end of, but his header is tipped over by Ben Amos.

  12. Wrexham 'struggling for breakthrough'published at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 4 January

    Wrexham 0-0 Peterborough

    Laura Kenyon
    BBC Final Score reporter

    Wrexham's Phil Parkinson is marking his 1,000th game in management. He joins an elite club which, of course, includes Sir Alex Ferguson.

    And Fergie is here today, supporting son Darren, in freezing conditions in north Wales. He's wearing a flat cap and scarf. I don’t blame him!

    No one bringing the heat on the pitch either. Wrexham, chasing automatic promotion, unrivalled home form, but struggling to find a breakthrough. Not the mismatch many thought this one might be.

    Wigan 0-2 Birmingham

    Birmingham almost make it three at the start of the second half.

    Blues counter quickly with Alfie May who lays it off for Willum Thor Willumsson but it's just nicked off his foot at the last moment by the back-pedalling Wigan defence.

    Ian Clarkson
    Ex-Birmingham captain on BBC Radio WM

    Alfie May's work-rate has been fantastic and set the standard for the rest of the team.

    Birmingham haven't been brilliant, they can't just sit back in the second half.

    A first half in which two runs forward from Ethan Laird has led to two Alfie May goals, really impressive from the pair of them.

    Wigan have hit the post and looked very bright but it is Birmingham who have taken their chances and are in front.
