Middlesbrough 0-1 Coventry
Bobby Thomas has got the goal to give Coventry the lead but now he has to intervene to prevent a Middlesbrough equaliser by blocking Tommy Conway's effort.
This is not over by any means.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:28 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Preston 1-2 Bristol City
North End's Brad Potts makes an untimely challenge on Mark Sykes and sees yellow.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November

A double change for Norwich now.
Kellen Fisher and Gabriel Forsyth take a breather and on come Jack Stacey and Ben Chrisene.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Middlesbrough 0-1 Coventry
Coventry introduce Tatsuhiro Sakamoto for Victor Torp.
Just moments before that they almost get the second goal as Brandon Thomas-Asante chases down a weak back pass but he stabs the ball wide.

Hull City 1-1 Portsmouth
Hull City boss Tim Walter looks to try and change this up.

Leeds 3-0 Plymouth
No goals since the break in this one.
So far the home side, who are heading back up to second, have had 17 shots in this match.
Plymouth? Zero.
RED CARD - Sunderlandpublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
QPR 0-0 Sunderland
Jobe Bellingham is off for a high tackle on Zan Celar. Straight red.
Sunderland haven't been at the races today and this will make things much more disappointing for the visitors.
Their only consolation is that Celar's effort at goal goes wide. Just.
Could QPR go ahead and get a big win against the league leaders?
Postpublished at 16:21 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Cardiff 0-1 Norwich
This is very open now.
Shane Duffy has already headed off target twice for Norwich and now he forces Jak Alnwick into a smart save.
Postpublished at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Cardiff 0-1 Norwich
Cardiff's David Turnbull has had an interesting second-half so far.
He gave away the ball which led to the Norwich goal, he was then cautioned for a foul and now he launches a shot at goal which George Long does well to save.
GOAL: Sheff Wed 1-3 Watfordpublished at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Vakoun Bayo (penalty) (58 mins)
Different player, same outcome.
Vakoun Bayo steps up and puts the away side in total control of this game.
Postpublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Middlesbrough 0-1 Coventry
Middlesbrough are pushing early in the second period as Neto Borges effort is blocked.
Don't rule them out despite being a man short.

Sheff Wed 1-2 Watford
The away side have got a second penalty in a matter of minutes!
GOAL: Preston 1-2 Bristol Citypublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Nahki Wells (51 mins)
There's no controversy in this one.
Bristol City immediately go on the attack to gain back their advantage as Mark Sykes sends in a cross towards Nahki Wells, who nods it home.
More frustration for North End boss Paul Heckingbottom as he faces just his third loss in charge this season.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Cardiff 0-1 Norwich

'Piroe is great to watch'published at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Leeds 3-0 Plymouth
Neil Redfearn
Former Leeds manager on BBC Radio Leeds
Joel Piroe's movement is excellent, he holds and then bursts away from the defender.
For young strikers he is great to watch, he runs people under the ball.
GOAL: Sheff Wed 1-2 Watfordpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Tom Ince (penalty) (52 mins)
No mistake from the veteran.
Tom Ince scores his fifth of the season and the Hornets are back in front.
GOAL: Preston 1-1 Bristol Citypublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Sam Greenwood (48 mins)
Preston will feel this is deserved.
Sam Greenwood's free kick swirls past Robins keeper and into the net.
Joy at Deepdale - but not for long...
