Even Birmingham manager Harry Redknapp had his mobile phone out in the first half to keep up to date with scores elsewhere at the bottom of the Championship.

His side are winning, which is all they need to do to guarantee survival.

Paul Thompson: We're doing what we need to do to survive. Never been more nervous being a Blackburn fan! Come on Rovers, we can do this!!

Gabe Roberts: Blackburn have been superb if only they could've done this four games ago.

Kyle Utterson: Have to feel for Blackburn. They have been brilliant and are 2-0 up yet as it stands it isn't enough. Great drama though.

Blackburn are doing the business but they're going down as it stands.

Can Ipswich find an equaliser at Nottingham Forest that would send the Reds down? Let us know what you think using #bbcefl on social media.

You can follow the second half of today's Championship finale on various BBC radio outlets.

BBC Radio 5 live has commentary of Nottingham Forest v Ipswich Town, which you can listen to by clicking on the audio icon at the top of the page.

All 12 Championship matches are being covered by BBC local radio teams, although unfortunately a rights issue prevents us from streaming those commentaries on the BBC Sport website.

Sergi Canos goes within a whisker of pulling one back for Brentford.

Meanwhile, Forest have started their second half in nervy fashion, with Ipswich coming straight out the blocks after the break.

Play resumes at Griffin Park and The City Ground, where they are fractionally ahead of proceedings at Bristol City.

Bristol City eventually get the game at Ashton Gate under way too, slightly behind the other two games.

• Aston Villa 0-0 Brighton
• Brentford 0-2 Blackburn
• Bristol City 0-1 Birmingham
• Burton 0-2 Reading
• Huddersfield 0-2 Cardiff
• Newcastle 1-0 Barnsley
• Norwich 1-0 QPR
• Nottingham Forest 1-0 Ipswich
• Rotherham 0-0 Derby
• Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Fulham
• Wigan 1-0 Leeds
• Wolves 1-0 Preston

The players are heading back out.

What has Tony Mowbray said to his side at Griffin Park? They're playing so well, but they need to score again as things stand.

Kick-off for the second half is coming up next.

Except that it's not really that much of a battle.

Reading, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield have already secured their top-six spots, and Fulham should join them today.

Only a Fulham loss to Wednesday and a Leeds win at Wigan, along with a 13-goal swing, would see the London club fall out of the play-off places.

Leeds trail at Wigan, while it's 1-1 at Hillsborough.

So, Blackburn took an early two-goal lead at Brentford to move out of the relegation zone as things stood.

Then Birmingham gave themselves a tiny bit of temporary breathing space as they took a vital lead at Bristol City.

But Nottingham Forest - who had almost conceded three times - then took the lead against Ipswich with a Britt Assombalonga penalty.

So Blackburn are going down as it stands, but only on goals scored!

One goal at any of the three grounds would change everything.

No wonder Rafael Benitez is smiling, his side are title winners as it stands.

The Magpies took the lead through a lovely finish from Ayoze Perez.

Meanwhile, Brighton are making heavy work of their trip to Aston Villa and could have been behind but for a bad miss from Henri Lansbury.

You need a bit of luck on days like this. It's all about the result.

It's not a decent Forest performance but they're ahead. Have they deserved it? Probably not. But it's all about results.

The half-time whistles have gone at Griffin Park, the City Ground and Ashton Gate.

It's mighty tight at the bottom. They're all winning.

Blackburn and Birmingham have both had chances to be further ahead.

Aston Villa are forced into a change, with Scott Hogan going off for teenager Keinan Davis.

Hogan has endured a tough start to his Villa career.

Home midfielder Conor Hourihane draws a fine save from David Stockdale.

That's right, with both their relegation rivals now winning, Birmingham know that if they concede a goal themselves, they would drop into the bottom three...

They're still ahead at Ashton Gate with half-time approaching. Three minutes of stoppage time to come.

So now Blackburn drop into the bottom three, but it's tight.

A Blackburn goal would send Forest back into the drop zone.

If Birmingham concede at Bristol City, they'll be heading down.

My word, it's close.

Jamie Ward fouled and a chance for the hosts to take the lead!

Newcastle still lead against Barnsley but the visitors have just enjoyed a little spell of pressure.

A Tykes equaliser would hand the title back to Brighton.
