    While that flurry of Championship goals was going on, both Bristol City and Swindon Town were pegged back to 2-1 in their respective League One matches.

    Curtis Main halved Doncaster's deficit against leaders City, while Billy Clarke scored for Bradford against third-placed Swindon.

    Aaron Wilbraham has eased Bristol City's nerves though - they now lead 3-1.

    Elsewhere, Barnsley lead 1-0 at Scunthorpe and Rochdale have got a goal back against Sheffield United, meaning they trail 2-1 to the Blades at Spotland.

    The Rams are still seeking a third and killer goal against Charlton. They've had a couple of half chances to put the match to bed since the break, but nothing too much to speak of. Into the final 20 minutes.

    Wes Hoolahan turns and crosses in the box and Cameron Jerome is unmarked at the far post. The substitute slots home through the legs of the goalkeeper to level things at Ewood Park. How big a goal could that be, in the race for the play-offs? Or indeed automatic promotion...

    Bolton almost find a leveller but Dorian Dervite is unlucky to see his effort just cleared off the goalline.

    Leeds' good run is set to come to an end tonight. Excellent work down the Brighton left from Beram Kayal, whose shot is parried onto Inigo Calderon and into the net.

    He hadn't scored for Mick McCarthy's side at Portman Road before tonight - now he has two. Freddie Sears restores the home side's two-goal cushion with another confident finish past Darren Randolph after sprinting clear once again. Birmingham just haven't dealt with his pace tonight.

    Watford are on the charge here. Tommie Hoban almost scores a fourth Hornets goal, but his shot from the left of the Rotherham penalty area goes just over the bar.

  8. Postpublished at 21:03 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2015

    George Friend pulls the ball back for Patrick Bamford to somehow miss the target from close range again. Not the youngster's night so far.

  9. GOALpublished at 21:01 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2015

    Nahki Wells taps in for Huddersfield after Adam Federici could only parry an effort from Jacob Butterfield. The hosts could be heading for a spot in the top half of the table tonight.

    The goalscorer is replaced moments later by substitute James Vaughan.

    Poor old Blackpool. All over at Griffin Park and Brentford could be heading back into the top six if things stay like this. Andre Gray adds a third, scoring at the second attempt after Joe Lewis kept out his first shot.

    Oh no, this has been a horrible three-minute spell for Adam Collin.

    This time Miguel Layun's shot is straight at the Rotherham keeper - but again it's too hot to handle and Odion Ighalo has a simple finish from close range. Game, set and match Watford.

    After spell of Millwall pressure, Sheffield Wednesday go straight up the other end and Lewis McGugan puts the visitors in front as he slides the ball home from close range.

  13. GOALpublished at 20:58 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2015

    David Davis gets Birmingham back into it. Just when it looked as though Ipswich could run away with this game, Paul Caddis does well down the right flank and finds the midfielder in the centre, who heads home with a clinical finish. Game on.

  14. GOALpublished at 20:57 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2015

    Troy Deeney has bagged his 13th goal of the season to put Watford up - but again there's a hint of an error from Rotherham.

    Daniel Toszer's free-kick from distance is straight at Adam Collin, but the goalkeeper, who has been excellent on the whole tonight, can only parry the ball out and Troy Deeney converts from close range.

    Conference strugglers AFC Telford United have conceded the opening goal at Grimsby just after half-time.

    Bad news for their modest away support at Blundell Park...

    A long ball from Tommy Smith is collected by Freddie Sears, who finds himself clear of the defence and confidently slots past an indecisive Darren Randolph.

    The goal came just moments after a Daryl Murphy far-post header had struck the bar for the hosts. They look good value for their two-goal lead now.

  18. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:50 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2015

    Here we go again then. We're under way up and down the country once more. We've had 14 Championship goals in the first half, how many more will we be treated to in the second period?

  19. Postpublished at 20:49 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2015

    Beast Mode On? Not quite - AFC Wimbledon striker Adebayo Akinfenwa has seen a penalty saved by Cambridge goalkeeper Chris Dunn. Still 0-0 there.

  20. Postpublished at 20:47 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2015

    Leaders Burton, who could go six points clear at the top tonight, trail 1-0 at improving Accrington, while Tranmere lead Portsmouth by a single goal at Fratton Park.

    It remains goalless between Cambridge and AFC Wimbledon in the other game in League Two.
