    Whatever words of wisdoms were said by new Rotherham boss Neil Redfearn at the break, they have worked. His side haul themselves level with high-flying Reading moments after the restart, former Wales defender Danny Collins popping up at the far post to sweep home a fine left-foot volley from a corner.

    Second half starts beginning to filter through now. Wasn't exactly a stack of goals flying in around the grounds, so journalists in stadiums will be hoping for the same. No re-writes please.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:43

    League Two latest

    The Wham Stadium is the place to be for goals this evening. Accrington and Wimbledon have shared six between them in the first half!

    Leaders Plymouth are 1-0 down at third-placed Oxford, while Portsmouth - who began the night in second position, are goalless with Stevenage.

    Northampton have equalised in first-half stoppage time against Carlisle, while at the bottom, struggling pair York and Dagenham are level at 1-1.

    But without a doubt, tonight's best entertainment has been provided in Accrington. The punters have got their money's worth at the Wham Stadium tonight. And it is nothing to do with a George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley tribute band. Or those tangy bars of sugar that 80s/90s kids used to love.

  5. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:38

    League One latest

    Four games are still goalless in League One at half time, including leaders Gillingham who are hosting Scunthorpe.

    Colin Daniel has just equalised for Port Vale at Colchester, while Rory McArdle has put Bradford in front against Bury.

    Che Adams gave Sheffield United the perfect start at Bramall Lane with a goal after 54 seconds against Fleetwood. It's still 1-0 at half-time though.

    Elsewhere, Chesterfield are 2-0 up against Southend and Wigan are leading by the same margin at Peterborough.

    Swindon are 1-0 down to Oldham in chairman Lee Power's first game in temporary charge.

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35

    Championship latest

    Half-times around the grounds. The Valley and KC Stadium are where the goals have been at in the Championship.

    Headlines? Leaders Brighton are losing, but hanging on to top spot. However, Reading and Birmingham are lurking menacingly. And Charlton are replacing Preston in the bottom three.

  7. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:30

    Charlton 0-2 Preston

    Paul Gallagher is nearly marching off for his half-time orange with the matchball tucked under his arm. The two-goal Preston forward nods against the Charlton crossbar on the cusp of the break. As it stands North End are leapfrogging their hosts, who will drop into the bottom three.

    Brighton 0-1 Bristol City

    How aren't Championship leaders Brighton level?! Because of some sensational defending by Robins man Luke Ayling - that's how. Seagulls striker Sam Baldock scampers clear of the away defence, lifting the ball over keeper Frank Fielding - a la Bobby Zamora at Leeds on Saturday. Most of the Amex Stadium stands to celebrate as ball bounds towards the net, before a scampering Ayling clears off the line to turn the cheers into groans.

    Lovely move.

    Hull are moving into the play-off spots with an impressive first half display.

    Moses Adubajo with a good run down the right before putting a cross on a plate for Chuba Akpom, who gobbles it up by volleying home.

    Big ask for Mick McCarthy's men now.

  10. League One updatepublished at 20:29

    Swindon, who have chairman Lee Power in temporary charge following Mark Cooper's departure, are 1-0 down at home to Oldham - Mike Jones with the goal.

    Blackpool are unbeaten in four games, but are behind at Bloomfield Road to Millwall thanks to Mark Beevers' strike.

    Sylvan Ebanks-Blake has doubled Chesterfield's advantage against Southend United.

    Elsewhere Wigan are still leading 2-0 at Peterborough, Colchester are in front against Port Vale, Shrewsbury are level 1-1 with Doncaster and Sheffield United are beating Fleetwood 1-0.

  11. League Two latestpublished at 20:27

    In the battle at the top of League Two, Oxford lead Plymouth 1-0, Liam Sercombe the scorer for the hosts.

    It's raining goals at Accrington. Stanley are back in front against Wimbledon, Sean McConville making it 3-2.

    Dagenham have equalised at York with a goal from Ashley Hemmings, while Jack Marriott has put Luton ahead against Leyton Orient at Kenilworth Road.

    Paul Gallagher (36 mins)

    Preston's skipper-for-the-night Paul Gallagher had bagged once in his last 14 matches before tonight. Now he is celebrating his second of the evening. The Scot's corner is weakly punched by Charlton keeper Nick Pope and he races onto the loose ball to lash in from an acute angle.

    Alex Bruce (36 mins)

    Like father, like son.

    His old man Steve got a few but son Alex Bruce is doing his pops proud today. The former Ipswich man leaps highest to loop a header home from Sam Clucas' cross.

    "So here's to you Mr Robinson...." Blues fans love him more than he'll ever know. Veteran defender Paul Robinson sneaks in at the far post to nod in Demerai Gray's teasing left-wing free-kick. Birmingham, who started the evening in fourth, are up to third in the as-it-stands table.

    Brighton 0-1 Bristol City

    We know what you're thinking - how have Championship leaders Brighton responded to Bristol City taking the lead?

    Not very well to be honest. The mood at the Amex is flatter than a pancake at the moment.

    City go close to a second as scorer Derrick Williams has a crack from distance which forces Seagulls keeper David Stockdale into decisive action.

  16. League Two latestpublished at 20:19

    Vadaine Oliver has put York 1-0 up against Dagenham in a game between two struggling teams, while Wimbledon have come back from 2-0 down to level their match at Accrington.

    Things get worse for Northampton Town, whose off-field problems have made the news over the past week. They're a goal down at home to Carlisle.

  17. League One updatepublished at 20:17

    Colchester are in front against Port Vale thanks to George Elokobi's 26th minute strike.

    Micky Mellon's Shrewsbury are back on level terms against Doncaster through Nathaniel Knight-Percival's header.

    Wigan are still leading 2-0 at Peterborough, Chesterfield are beating Southend 1-0 and Sheffield United are leading Fleetwood after Che Adams netted in the first minute.

    Bolton 0-0 Birmingham

    This was the late kick-off of the evening. Bolton could move out of the relegation with a big victory against Birmingham - and if results go their way - but Emile Heskey hasn't been able to hit the back of the net so far.

    Cardiff 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Cardiff continuing to press for the opener as a stinging effort from defender Matthew Connolly is gratefully gathered at the second attempt at Boro keeper Dimi Konstantopolous. And then...Boro waste the best opportunity of the match. Albert Adomah meets an Adam Clayton cross but cannot sneak the ball past home keeper David Marshall.

    WHOOOSH!! WHAT A STRIKE! Is that steam coming out of Nick Blackman's right boot - the lad is on fire. The Reading striker smashes in a left-foot thunderbolt from 25 yards. That's his 10th goal in his last 10 matches - and second-placed Reading are within a point of leaders Brighton.
