    The second halves are coming up next.

    Bradford have been in total control... But their tie remains goalless, as does Millwall v Scunthorpe.

    Which three teams will win the play-offs?

    Andy Sam Alderman: Reading, Bradford City and as much as I'd love my team Colchester I'd have to say Exeter City.

    Steven McNamara: As a neutral Sheff Wed, Bradford and Carlisle will hopefully go up.

    As a Colchester fan Andy, you'll hopefully be back here on Saturday for our live text covering the final day of the League Two season, which, as I was just saying, should be a belter.

    League Two final day on Saturday

    Meanwhile, in League Two, the automatic promotion places are pretty much the only thing that's been decided heading into the last round of games

    At the bottom, either Hartlepool or Newport will join beleagured Leyton Orient in the National League. The Exiles are in the driving seat, knowing victory at home to Notts County on Saturday evening will secure their safety.

    It could also be quite simple at the top, where Plymouth will be crowned champions if they beat Grimsby on their travels. However, slip up and Doncaster, or even Portsmouth, could snatch the title.

    The fight for the final two play-off spots still - unbelievably - involves seven teams. Carlisle and Blackpool go into Saturday in the driving seat but it's bound to change numerous times over the course of the 90 minutes.

  6. Coming up this weekendpublished at 20:38 British Summer Time 4 May 2017

    Championship final day on Sunday

    Set your alarm clocks early for Sunday morning because, at midday on 7 May, all 24 Championship sides will be in action and there's plenty still to be decided!

    At the top, already-promoted Brighton and Newcastle can both still win the title.

    But, down the bottom, things are going to be far more nervy as the threat of relegation looms for three sides.

    One of either Blackburn, Nottingham Forest or Birmingham City will be dropping down to League One. Make sure you join us then.

    Bradford have been very clever. They're getting a lot of two-on-ones. At some point, they're going to get through.

    It has been difficult for Fleetwood but they're going to have to try and do something a little bit better.

    HT: Millwall 0-0 Scunthorpe

    Scunthorpe may have emerged unscathed from this first half but have shown one deficiency - dealing with balls into the box.

    They haven't looked sure from Millwall crosses all evening, and with Jed Wallace standing over the ball you just feel that one will go in for the hosts at some stage.

    Stuart McCall will be fairly happy so far, but his side arguably should be ahead. Will they be made to pay for not taking the lead in those opening 45 minutes?

    They've dominated, but have met a resolute Fleetwood defence - especially in the air.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 4 May 2017

    Millwall 0-0 Scunthorpe

    The hosts have been on top, but have created little other than Lee Gregory's strike...

    Bradford 0-0 Fleetwood

    As the first half nears an end, two minutes of added time are signaled by the fourth official at Valley Parade.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:29 British Summer Time 4 May 2017

    Millwall 0-0 Scunthorpe

    Well that was quite comical.

    Millwall forward Steve Morison makes a striker's challenge which brings down Neal Bishop.

    Morison clearly thinks his opponent has gone down too easily and mimics a theatrical dive.

    The referee clearly didn't see the funny side as he brandishes a yellow for dissent.

    Bradford 0-0 Fleetwood

    Bradford come forward yet again and James Meredith does really well on the left. He cuts it back - thanks to a deflection - straight to Billy Clarke, who hits a first-time shot over the bar.

    He snatched at that a bit. Another chance goes begging for the hosts...

    You can hear the wind whistling around the stadium, which makes me wonder how Scunthorpe boss Graham Alexander can possibly be warm enough in just a shirt...

    As you can probably guess, we're struggling a tad in terms of goalmouth action - it's got that typical first leg feel where the teams are more keen not to lose than to go and win the match.

  15. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:25 British Summer Time 4 May 2017

    Bradford 0-0 Fleetwood

    Billy Clarke goes within a whisker of the opener! From outside the box, the Bradford striker takes a touch with his right and fires low onto the post with his left.

    The keeper was beaten. Very unlucky for Bradford, that.

    Bradford 0-0 Fleetwood

    Mark Marshall sends over a teasing cross for Bradford but there's nobody on the end of it and it runs out of play. It was a cracking delivery though.

  17. Postpublished at 20:22 British Summer Time 4 May 2017

    Millwall 0-0 Scunthorpe

    Lee Gregory buys his Millwall side a free-kick around 25 yards out, but Jed Wallace's shot lacks power and Joe Anyon gathers at the second attempt.

    A weak effort really, but it has to be said Wallace is the player who most looks like doing something out of the ordinary.

    Millwall are certainly the side in the ascendancy now.

    A first corner is nervously headed over his own bar by Scunthorpe's Ivan Toney and the next delivery also causes problems, with Tony Craig winning the first ball.

    Food for thought for Graham Alexander, with less than 15 minutes until the interval.

    The hosts are just looking that touch sharper at the moment, in no small part down to the fact that they were able to make 10 changes for this match.

    It should be said the conditions here aren't perfect and a number of players, especially Fleetwood forward Devante Cole, have lost their footing.
