    Bradford must fancy their chances at set-pieces. Fleetwood have been defending a lot, but they've stuck their heads on everything, to be fair, defending stoutly.

    Bradford 0-0 Fleetwood

    Bradford win their fourth corner already. It comes to nothing as there's a foul in the middle when the ball comes in, but Bradford remain on top.

    Millwall 0-0 Scunthorpe

    Now we're talking.

    Neal Bishop is wayward with a square ball in midfield and Millwall dangerman Jed Wallace plays a great through ball for Lee Gregory, whose low strike is expertly saved by Scunthorpe stopper Joe Anyon.

    Maybe that will ignite things.

    Fleetwood could easily be ahead in this game. Yet Bradford have been the better side so far.

  5. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:10 British Summer Time 4 May 2017

    Millwall 0-0 Scunthorpe

    There we have it.

    Ivan Toney is the recipient of the game's first booking, leading with his arm as he leapt for a header and catching Millwall defender Byron Webster.

    It's been full-bloodied but lacking quality at The Den.

  6. CLOSE!published at 20:08 British Summer Time 4 May 2017

    Bradford 0-0 Fleetwood

    Now it is Bradford's turn to gift Fleetwood a chance. Keeper Colin Doyle has a real shocker, sending his clearance - under no pressure - straight to the feet of the Cod Army's David Ball.

    Ball has time to chip at goal... He gets it over the back-pedaling Doyle's head, but just slightly over the crossbar too.

    Millwall 0-0 Scunthorpe

    In all honesty I can see the first yellow card coming sooner than the first goal.

    Murray Wallace is the latest to stick the boot in, taking Millwall's Lee Gregory out in the process.

    The Scunthorpe centre back is perhaps lucky to get away with that one, and it was near the halfway line so there was no need to foul.

    Bradford 0-0 Fleetwood

    Bobby Grant... Get rid of it! The Fleetwood man dallies in his own area and it presents Bradford with a gift of a half chance...

    But luckily for Grant, Charlie Wyke's acrobatic effort is slightly off balance and bounces straight at the keeper.

    Fleetwood - and Grant in particular - breathe a sigh of relief.

    Millwall 0-0 Scunthorpe

    Scunthorpe may have finished the regular-season three places and nine points above their hosts, but Millwall have real play-off experience in their ranks.

    Lions skipper Tony Craig and Nadjim Abdou have each played in 10 play-off ties for Millwall - reaching the final in each of their three previous campaigns. That has to count for something, right?

    On the pitch it's all been rather low-key, with both teams willing to be quite direct.

    As soon as Bradford get an opportunity to put the ball into the box, they do it.

    They put it in with intensity and pace. They're getting some fantastic deliveries in.

    One little mistake from Fleetwood and Bradford would go in front.

    Bradford 0-0 Fleetwood

    Bradford's Nicky Law drills a low shot at goal but Fleetwood keeper Alex Cairns touches it wide for a corner.

    Millwall 0-0 Scunthorpe

    Jed Wallace has a fantastic delivery on him, and it almost forces a Scunthorpe own goal.

    First the playmaker wins a free-kick after drawing a foul from Jamie Ness, and his cross is delicious - flicked over his own bar by a visiting defender.

    That really could have gone anywhere.

  13. Postpublished at 19:57 British Summer Time 4 May 2017

    Bradford 0-0 Fleetwood

    Chance for Fleetwood as, after a succession of high, aerial balls, David Ball has a chance to volley across goal but he can't hit the target as he hooks over his shoulder at the far post.

    Bradford were a bit disjointed at the back there, momentarily. But they get away with it.

    Millwall 0-0 Scunthorpe

    When your nickname is the Lions and you play at The Den, the aim is always going to be to intimidate your opponents.

    Millwall have tried to assert themselves on the visitors but Scunthorpe have stood up to it so far without really doing much to trouble the hosts themselves.

    Bradford 0-0 Fleetwood

    Billy Clarke is almost in one-on-one with Fleetwood keeper Alex Cairns but Nathan Pond just about gets back in time to stop him.

    Clarke was so nearly in on goal there. The hosts are fired up, that's for sure.

    Bradford 0-0 Fleetwood

    The noise at Valley Parade is magnificent. And the home side are responding, starting brightly.

    Nicky Law's shot from the edge of the area is blocked by the visitors' defence, but Fleetwood are on the back foot.

  18. Dagenham and Forest Green all squarepublished at 19:51 British Summer Time 4 May 2017

    Dagenham & Redbridge 1-1 Forest Green

    Away from the League One play-offs, the battle to get into the EFL continues this evening.

    Last night Tranmere took a massive step towards the National League promotion final with a thumping 3-0 win at Aldershot in the first leg of their play-off semi-final.

    Dagenham & Redbridge host Forest Green in the first leg of the other semi and it's currently all square.

    Liam Noble was delighted to give the Gloucestershire side the lead from the penalty spot but Jordan Maguire-Drew fired in to level just before the break.

    We've had a big challenge and some head tennis already at The Den, with both teams seemingly ready for battle.

    It's Millwall who come forward first, a Jed Wallace cross hacked clear by the visiting defence.

    Bradford 0-0 Fleetwood

    Fleetwood punt a long ball forward in the early stages but it goes out of play harmlessly for a Bradford goal kick.

    Nobody will want to concede an early goal.
