    It's game on at Blundell Park as Plymouth chase the League Two title. 

    Jimmy Spencer had gone 17 games without a goal, but equalises moments after being thrown on.

    The Pilgrims have three strikers on, all more than six foot tall - this last 10 minutes won't be pretty, but it could be title-winning.

    Doncaster pile forward looking for a goal to give them the title and the ball is thumped clear by Bradley Walker.

    Padraig Amond latches on to the ball before teeing up Devante Rodney who shows superb compsore to cut inside before smashing the ball into the net.

    Hartlepool are staying up unless Newport can find a goal.

    Hartlepool 1-1 Doncaster

    Into the last 10 minutes at Victoria Park where home defender Carl Magnay is in the book for a cynical foul on the halfway line.

    Notts County striker Jon Stead sees a header cleared off the line as the Magpies go in search of a winner.

    Carlisle are in the play-off spots again.

    A long throw sees an unchallenged Jamie Proctor nod home.

    Is it heartache for Colchester who have just gone 2-0 up against Yeovil thanks to Tarique Fosu-Henry's second goal of the day? 

    They drop out of the top seven - for now.

    Hartlepool 1-1 Doncaster

    Devante Rodney sends a deep cross just over the Doncaster crossbar.

    Rovers look rattled right now.

    Pools have 12 minutes to find the goal that could save their EFL status.

    The visitors bring on veteran Gary McSheffrey for Craig Alcock.

    Newport 1-1 Notts County

    I'm absolutely sure they'll know what's just happened on Teesside down in Wales.

    The hosts make a double change with Marlon Jackon and Sean Rigg coming on for Lenell John-Lewis and Mark Randall.

    We're into the last 13 minutes.

    Play-off race

    Oh dear Stevenage. Just a goal away from getting in the play-off places, but not if it goes to the away side.

    Billy keeps his nerve from the penalty spot and Accrington take a 1-0 lead. Two goals needed for the hosts to stand any chance.

    Meanwhile Danny Grainger's second penalty of the day sees Carlisle make it 2-2 against Exeter. Another Cumbrians goal and they will make the play-offs.

    Hartlepool 1-1 Doncaster

    It's a real mess but Hartlepool will not care one bit.

    Devante Rodney slots in after Doncaster make a real mess of clearing the ball and Padraig Amond's cross-shot is not dealt with.

    It's Rodney's first ever league goal.

    One more goal will keep Hartlepool up while, as it stands, Portsmouth will win the league on goal difference.

    Hartlepool 0-1 Doncaster

    Hartlepool make their final change, with Connor Simpson coming on for Rhys Oates.

    Meanwhile, Doncaster make their second substitute as veteran James Coppinger makes way for Aaron Taylor-Sinclair.

    Portsmouth 3-0 Cheltenham

    Portsmouth are doing all they can to win the League Two title as they now lead Cheltenham 3-0 after two goals in four minutes.

    Kyle Bennett made it 2-0 with a  mazy run and deflected finish from 18 yards before setting up Kal Naismith to put the result beyond doubt.

    While Doncaster lead, the best Pompey can do is finish second.

    Hartlepool 0-1 Doncaster

    Doncaster goalkeeper Ian Lawlor scrambles across to keep out Bradley Walker's effort.

    It might have been going wide bu the on-loan Manchester City man probably did right to make sure.

    Scott Kashket

    Wycombe are doing all they can to make the top seven, but they are still outside the play-offs on goal difference.

    Adebayo Akinfenwa nods the ball across goal and Scott Kashket can hardly miss his header from two yards. 

    A deserved goal for the dominant hosts.

    Blackpool and Colchester remain in the box seat.

    Hartlepool 0-1 Doncaster

    The Newport goal has really lifted the mood at Victoria Park but the Pools players have got to do their bit now.

    Striker Devante Rodney is on in place of midfielder Nicky Featherstone.

    Plymouth's Green Army have found their voice at Grimsby because their side are level.

    Jimmy Spencer comes on as a substitute and within seconds races clear to slot in and make it 1-1.

    It doesn't change anything as it stands, but one more goal without conceding and Argyle will win the League Two title.
