    How about Grimsby (18th) who are holding onto a 1-0 lead over unbeaten Bradford (3rd). Danny Rose poking home from close range.

    Tranmere (12th) have the advantage over Carlisle (18th) 2-1 after a back-and-forth first half, this one could go either way.

    Elsewhere, Bromley, Accrington, Wimbledon and Newport are leading their matches 1-0.

    And it's all square between Swindon and Notts County 1-1.

    HT: West Brom 1-0 Swansea

    Sanny Rudravajhala
    BBC Radio 5 Live at The Hawthorns

    A perfectly-timed goal for Albion just into injury time is the difference here, with Jayson Molumby sweeping home inside the area.

    The goal was a bit of reflection of the first 45 really. Swansea, allowing West Brom to play and not dealing with the danger of Josh Maja, who had enough time to choose to pass to Molumby rather than take on the chance himself inside the box.

    Tom Fellows set up both Albion's goals in their win against Stoke and he's having a free run on the right, likewise Karlan Grant on the left. It took until 43 minutes for Swansea to put together a meaningful bit of build-up play.

    The timing of the goal will no doubt have frustrated Swans boss, Luke Williams. Instead of tinkering to stop West Brom's offensive action, more drastic changes may be needed for the second half.

    West Brom 1-0 Swansea

    West Bromwich Albion lead through Jayson Molumby's opener right at the end of the half.

    The home side have dominated with 62% of the ball and 11 shots, with four on target.

    It looked like Swansea had weathered the storm until half-time but they will have to come out and respond if they are to get anything from this match.

  7. LEAGUE ONE: HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 British Summer Time 31 August

    League One leaders Stockport breath a sigh of relief as they find an equaliser just before the break to enter the dressing room level with Mansfield 1-1.

    After a slow start Wrexham (4th) have Peterborough (7th) on the back foot after a pair of goals toward the tail end of the first half, to lead 2-0.

    Crawley (8th) are struggling to hold-on against Barnsley (9th) who have jumped out to an early 3-0 lead. The home side with a lot of work to do after the half-time oranges.

    Elsewhere, Shrewsbury, Bristol Rovers, Exeter and Birmingham all have 1-0 leads in their matches.

    Alfie May on target again for Birmingham - a timely strike and reminder of his abilities at this level following last night's £10m+ arrival of fellow front man Jay Stansfield from Fulham.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 British Summer Time 31 August

    Oxford 1-1 Preston

    It's all level at the break.

    Mark Harris continues his fine goalscoring form to head the U's level after going behind.

    Very clear to see why he's received an international call up to the Wales squad when he's scoring like this!

    HT: Portsmouth 0-1 Sunderland

    Gary Bennett
    Ex-Sunderland defender on BBC Radio Newcastle

    Deserved for Sunderland. Good passages of play against the right-hand side where Patrick Roberts is.

    Sunderland aren't going to come flying out of the blocks and dominate games. Teams will come at them. As soon as they start holding the game, they grow into it and then they dominate.

  12. 'West Brom break the deadlock'published at 15:48 British Summer Time 31 August

    Steve Hermon
    Reporter, BBC Radio WM

    Jayson Molumby had injury problems last season. His last match was against Swansea and now his first goal this season has come against the Welsh side.

    It's a deserved goal for the Baggies. Finally, they've broken the deadlock.

    Jayson Molumby (45+1 min)

    They've pushed and they've pushed and the Baggies take the lead in first-half added time.

    Jayson Molumby and Josh Maja exchange passes outside the area.

    Maja opts not to shoot and play it back to his team-mate, who slots into the corner for 1-0.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 31 August

    Millwall 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Nothing to separate them at half-time.

    Wednesday have had almost 60% of the ball but they've only had one shot to Millwall's 10, but neither side has had a shot on target and the first half ends goalless.

    Josh McEachran swings in a corner and finds the head of Peter Kioso but his effort flies wide of the near post.

    Leeds 0-0 Hull

    Wilfried Gnonto is caught offside for Leeds as they come close to taking the lead before the break.

    It comes after Abdulkadir Omur concedes a corner for Hull, who almost took the lead themselves earlier when Liam Millar struck over the bar from Regan Slater's delivery.

    We said earlier that Bradford (3rd) had a terrific opportunity to go joint top of League Two with a win, over a struggling Grimsby side this afternoon. Well, it is the 18th placed Mariners who have jumped out to a 1-0 lead at Valley Parade. Danny Rose poking the ball home from lose range after a free-kick.

    Tranmere's Omari Patrick is unstoppable so far in this first half. The winger has scored his second goal to put his side back in front 2-1 over Carlisle.

    Elsewhere, it's all square between Swindon and Notts County at 1-1.
