    Kal Naismith celebrates scoring against CambridgeImage source, Rex Features

    Exeter's play-off campaign was on course as they took the lead against Morecambe early in the second half, but Kevin Ellison has just scored a stunning volley to equalise for the visitors.

    Exeter's play-off rivals Blackpool are now 3-0 ahead of Cheltenham thanks to Neil Danns' goal, but Cambridge's hopes of a top-seven finish are fading as Kal Naismith has made it 2-0 to Portsmouth.

    At the bottom end of the table, struggling Hartlepool have fallen a goal behind against Barnet.

    Wigan 0-0 Cardiff

    Wigan have sent on mega-goal-super-sub Nick Powell in a bid to pinch the points and give their hopes of avoiding relegation from the Championship a massive lift.

    Powell has five in three games. Rickie Lambert makes a massive block to deny him.

    Manga went close for Cardiff too, but he could not put the ball away at the back stick.

    Tammy Abraham

    Tammy Abraham loves scoring. And he's just brought Bristol City level at Ashton Gate.

    It's a typical Tammy strike too - stabbing in his 23rd Championship goal of the season from six yards.

    City aren't quite safe yet, but Blackburn aren't doing much at Molineux.

    Yann Kermorgant pulls one back for Reading with more than 30 minutes remaining.

    Surely not?

    Burton 0-0 Leeds

    Leeds are beaming this game back to Elland Road, where a fair few of their fans have clustered in the stands to watch.

    I wonder if they are having a Saturday afternoon snooze.

    Luke Ayling keeps on bashing away for the Whites, but Burton have been solid and are keeping them at bay.

    Steven Fletcher has scored with a header! Shock!

    The Scotland forward brings the Owls level and they're back in the driving seat in the Championship play-off race.

    Leeds are still goalless at Burton.

    Fleetwood are still hoping to earn the final automatic promotion spot in League One, and Ashley Hunter has scored to pull them level with Gillingham at Priestfield.

    If Bolton are to secure second place today, they need to win and hope Fleetwood can't match them, but the Trotters almost fall behind early in the second half at Port Vale.

    Jerome Thomas fires a half-volley towards goal from the edge of the box and beats Bolton keeper Mark Howard, only to see the ball cannon back off the post.

  8. Time for the Toon to party?published at 16:17 British Summer Time 22 April 2017

    Er, well, not quite yet. But put the champers on ice if you're a Newcastle fan. More to keep it chilled for Monday possibly.

    The Magpies play Preston that night, and as it stands, would secure their automatic promotion place with a win in that game.

    Reading and Huddersfield both currently losing by big scorelines... it's all set up for a St James' Park celebration.

    Mustapha Carayol

    Game over!

    Mustapha Carayol, who has been outstanding for Forest this afternoon, turns in the box and fires a low shot past Reading goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi.

    Reading will almost certainly be in the play-offs, but they've been poor today.

    Wigan 0-0 Cardiff

    Craig Noone had a rare sighter for Cardiff before half-time and he's had a free-kick dig in this second-half.

    Rickie Lambert has been sent on for the Bluebirds to add a bit of punch to their attack, one to be wary of for Wigan.

    The Championship play-off race takes another twist!

    Darren Bent heads home a corner to put Derby in front.

    That'll come as a huge relief for Leeds who are still being held at Burton.

    Forest double their lead straight after the break and it's that man Britt Assombalonga again!

    The big striker nods in Ben Osborn's cross to send the City Ground wild.

    It means if Wigan lose against Cardiff, they're down.

    Away from the big story that Leyton Orient are all but heading down trailing 3-0 at Crewe, Carlisle have fought back from 2-0 down at Crawley to level at 2-2 and get their play-off campaign back on track.

    Elsewhere, Luton have come back from 1-0 down at home to lead Notts County 2-1, while Wycombe are ahead against leaders Doncaster, with Luke O'Nien's second goal of the game making it 2-1 to the Chairboys.

    Fleetwood are hoping to spoil Bolton's promotion party today, but they won't be doing so on this form.

    Relegation-threatened Gillingham have taken a surprise lead against the Cod Arny, as Zesh Rehman's header comes back off the post an in off the back of Fleetwood keeper Alex Cairns.

    At Port Vale, Bolton's hopes of getting the win have been helped by Rigino Cicilia's sending off for a second yellow card, shown for a deliberate handball.

    There's also positive news for Bradford fans, as Tony McMahon's penalty and Mark Marshall's strike have given them the lead against Wimbledon. That result would guarantee the Bantams a play-off spot.

    • Bradford 2-0 Wimbledon
    • Bury 1-0 Northampton
    • Chesterfield 0-1 Charlton
    • Coventry 1-0 Walsall
    • Gillingham 1-0 Fleetwood
    • Millwall 0-2 Oxford United
    • MK Dons 0-1 Sheffield United
    • Oldham 0-1 Rochdale
    • Peterborough 2-0 Bristol Rovers

  19. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:55 British Summer Time 22 April 2017

    Huddersfield 1-4 Fulham

    Stunning effort by Fulham. I mean, really impressive.

    Huddersfield scored after four minutes, from the penalty spot by Chris Lowe after he burst through and was felled in the penalty area. It looked as though Town were on course.

    They did not account for Fulham hitting their stride - and hit it they did. First Scott Malone tucked in, and a penalty from Tom Cairney put the Cottagers in front.

    Stefan Johansen then scored two more, one from a Town error, to give the scoreline a truly skewed look. Nine goal in just 135 minutes of football for Fulham against Town this season...

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 22 April 2017

    Burton 0-0 Leeds

    There are genuine reasons for these two teams to want to win today, although it's not been the most intense of afternoons.

    Some pretty play from both sides, couple of half-chances, a goal disallowed for Leeds.

    Leeds need to win to put pressure on Fulham, who are coasting 4-1 at Huddersfield...
