The play-off hopefuls are in front at the break thanks to Isaiah Brown's neat finish.

Having drawn his side level, Darren Bent is involved in the area again but this time he shoots over after Tim Ince's free-kick.

Derby are ending the first half well.

Rotherham should be ahead after a fumble from Newcastle keeper Karl Darlow but he recovers from his mistake just in time to deny Jerry Yates bravely from very close range.

Relief for the hosts!

He'd only scored once this season before today, but now Albert Adomah has two in one half for Aston Villa.

The tricky winger is fouled in the box and picks himself up to slot home the resulting penalty.

Matt Ritchie tries his luck for the Magpies but his effort is deflected wide.

Strugglers Rotherham are holding their own so far.

It's hardly a goal frenzy in League One, but two teams have found the net since our earlier update.

Oxford have in fact scored twice so far, with goals from Marvin Johnson and Robert Hall giving them a 2-0 lead at Rochdale.

Meanwhile Billy Sharp has scored goal number 18 of the season for high-flying Sheffield United, who hold a 1-0 advantage at home to Gillingham.

Plymouth may have exited the FA Cup at the hands of Liverpool earlier this week, but their march towards promotion from League Two shows no signs of stopping, with Sonny Bradley putting them 1-0 up at Cheltenham.

Ten-man Accrington were briefly behind against Carlisle through Omar Beckles' own goal, before Shay McCartan scored directly from a free-kick.

Meanwhile struggling Crewe Alexandra are giving promotion hopefuls Doncaster a stern test, with James Jones making it 1-1 after Conor Grant had given Rovers the lead.  

Freddie Sears has a good chance for Ipswich but he fires over the bar from inside the area.

Two potentially huge goals for struggling Wigan in the Championship.

Sam Morsy put the Latics in front just before the half-hour mark with a superb 20-yard effort before Harlee Dean turned into his own net.

As things stand, they move above Blackburn into 22nd.

In a rare attack, Rotherham win a corner but the hosts deal with the subsequent delivery comfortably.

Moments later, Anthony Forde has a powerful attempt at goal for the Millers but his shot is deflected wide.

The Royals - up to third in the table as things stand early on - are frustrating Derby so far and keeping the ball where they can.

Goalscorer John Swift looks full of confidence and Daniel Williams has had a decent chance to make it 2-0 but could only shoot straight at keeper Scott Carson.

A slightly misleading stat, considering Aston Villa have only played three times this year, including Tottenham away in the FA Cup - but Albert Adomah has scored their first in 2017 to put them ahead at Villa Park.

Still goalless in five Championship games elsewhere.

Ayoze Perez has another decent effort for Newcastle but he shoots just over the bar after showing good pace down the right.

The hosts are getting closer...

Millers debutant Richard O'Donnell does well to come out quickly and save from Newcastle's Ayoze Perez. Smart stop.

It's about this time we'd normally bring you an update from League One, but that's proving rather more difficult than usual today.

After almost 20 minutes in all the games, we've yet to see a single goal. 

Who'll be the first to break that duck?

Newcastle are slowly starting to dominate bottom-club Rotherham. 

The Magpies had 20 shots at goal when these two sides met earlier this season at the New York Stadium and you wouldn't bet against them attempting a similar number today.

That eases the pressure a bit on Norwich manager Alex Neil.

Steven Naismith steers home for the Canaries after Jonny Howson's shot hits the bar.

Great start for the hosts.
