Harrogate 0-0 Bromley
Harrogate goalkeeper James Belshaw and Bromley forward Michael Cheek come together and Belshaw comes off second best in the collision.
The goalkeeper cannot continue and throws his gloves to the ground as he heads off, being replaced by Mark Oxley.
MK Dons 1-2 Bradford City
Good defending by the Dons here, as Jack Tucker charges down Andy Cook's effort and then Sam Sheering slides in to deny Alex Pattison, scorer of the opening goal, on the rebound.
Bradford are looking dangerous whenever they go forward, though, especially on that left-hand side.
Salford 0-0 Port Vale
No goals, but a couple of meaty challenges at the Peninsula Stadium and it's now 2-1 in bookings to the home side.
Curtis Tilt in the book for Salford and joined by Port Vale captain Ben Garrity moments later.
Then Tosin Olopade is booked for bringing down Lorent Tolaj just outside the box. Vale want a red, but it's only a yellow.
MK Dons 1-2 Bradford City
Paul Dixon
BBC Three Counties Radio commentator
MK Dons can look very pretty. It can take them 15 passes to get past the halfway line but then they don't create anything.
It's something we see a lot from MK Dons.
MK Dons 1-2 Bradford City
Both sides enjoying decent spells here, with MK Dons threatening again just after Alex Gilbey reduced the deficit.
More recently Bradford have regained the initiative, with Andy Cook collecting a knockdown on the edge of the box but rifling over the bar.
MK Dons 1-2 Bradford City
Image source, Rex FeaturesIt's been all-change at MK Dons in recent days with the club taken over by a Kuwait-based consortium, ending Pete Winkelman's 21-year spell as owner.
Winkelman oversaw the club's renaming in 2004 and promotion up to the Championship before an eventual return to League Two.
The consortium is led by businessman and entrepreneur Fahad Al Ghanim who is watching on today.
He'll be hoping his new side can turn this one around.
Harrogate 0-0 Bromley
Another dangerous moment from Bromley. Cameron Congreve finds space in the middle of the park, the defenders back off and Congreve's low shot is not far past James Belshaw's post in the Harrogate goal.
Bromley are looking a threat on the break, certainly.
Fleetwood 1-0 Grimsby
Jason Svanthorsson's Grimsby debut is cut short - the Icelandic forward has gone off after half an hour, to be replaced by Luca Barrington.
More problems for Mariners boss David Artell as his side look to recover from that goal by Fleetwood's Mark Helm.
Barrow 1-0 Crewe
More good play from Connor Mahoney nearly delivers a second Barrow goal.
He cuts it across to Elliot Newby, whose low shot is saved by Filip Marschall.
Harrogate 0-0 Bromley
Josh Passley is one of the Bromley team to have come up from the National League after years in non-league football.
But his afternoon is cut short as he has to limp off with Danny Imray on in his place.
Salford 0-0 Port Vale
Debutant goalkeeper makes a fine save to deny debutant centre back.
In this case, it is Salford's Jamie Jones keeping out Connor Hall as the visitors go close to the opening goal.
MK Dons 1-2 Bradford City
Andy Kiwomya
Ex-Bradford forward and head of performance on BBC Radio Leeds
Where was Neill Byrne? He should be coming to help out Bradley Halliday.
It's been brilliant to watch, both teams going at it, but what I'm seeing from Bradford City in the midfield is a lack of communication. It's giving MK Dons time to get their passes in.
(Alex Gilbey 19 mins)
Image source, Rex FeaturesMK Dons are back in this!
Callum Hendry's deft touch releases Alex Gilbey and he pounds on into the box, holding off his marker to steer a low finish into the far corner.
More goals in this one, surely...
Theo Vassell (22 mins)
We have a debut goalscorer at Holker Street and it is the home side's Theo Vassell with it.
Brought in from Salford, Vassell is there at the back post to get the crucial touch from Connor Mahoney's devilish in-swinging corner.
Stephen Clemence's spell in charge of Barrow is up and running.
Harrogate 0-0 Bromley
The fact that Harrogate are playing Bromley in the EFL is proof that the English pyramid system is alive and well.
Clubs lower down the leagues can all believe that they can reach this level if they get things right.
(Mark Helm 19 mins)
Deadlock broken - and it's one of Fleetwood's summer signings, Mark Helm, who achieves that!
Mackenzie Hunt makes room on the left and cuts the ball back for Helm. The former Burton midfielder wraps his left foot around it and dispatches it low into the far corner.
Tranmere 0-0 Notts County
Best chance so far for Rovers, who win a corner and Luke Norris brings it down before letting fly, but County's new goalkeeper Alex Bass is on hand to push it behind.
#bbcefl
What a game so far, with Colchester storming out to an early lead thanks to a pair of goals from defender Ben Goodliffe inside 10 minutes. But Wimbledon have one back though after a Omar Bugiel strike from inside the box which deflected off James Ball and into the back of the net to make it 2-1.
Gillingham are on top against Carlisle thanks to an early goal from Timothee Dieng who seized upon a blocked shot on the edge of the area, and fired home to open the scoring.
Barrow 0-0 Crewe
Barrow are sporting their new shirts today with their new sponsor - the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Can the Cumbrian club make an imprint in Canada?
Tranmere 0-0 Notts County
Notts County's revamped side have begun well, working the ball nicely inside the hosts' half.
Jodi Jones has had a pop from a free-kick, but the scoresheet remains blank for now.
