    Hartlepool 0-1 Doncaster; Newport 1-0 Notts County

    Huge minute at the bottom of League Two.

    First Andy Williams scrambles in after James Coppinger's low ball is only half-cleared.

    The goal initially looked like it was going to be ruled out for offside but it rightly stands after the ball was inadvertently played back by a Pools player.

    Moments later, Mickey Demetriou slots in for Newport from the penalty spot after Lenell John-Lewis was fouled in the area.

    Doncaster title winners as it stands while Hartlepool look doomed.

    Carlisle back in top sevenpublished at 18:05 British Summer Time 6 May 2017

    Play-off race

    A massive goal in the play-off bundle. Carlisle are back on level terms against Exeter thanks to Danny Grainger's spot-kick.

    How to deal with nerves? Smash the ball as hard as you can. Simple. That goal puts them back in the play-off spots.

    So it's as you were, with Blackpool also winning. Those two teams are in prime position as things stand.

    Andy Williams nearly barges his way through the Hartlepool area before he's eventually held up just before shooting.

    Moments later the striker has an effort blocked.

    The Pools fans are living on their nerves just now.

    Hartlepool 0-0 Doncaster

    Lewis Alessandra shows some neat footwork before firing a shot across the face of the Doncaster goal.

    Hartlepool are on top here but they have got to find a goal.

    GOAL - Portsmouth 1-0 Cheltenhampublished at 17:51 British Summer Time 6 May 2017

    Daniel O'Shaughnessy own goal

    Portsmouth have the lead and, as it stands, the title, after Daniel O'Shaughnessy put the ball into his own net.

    Long, long way to go though.

  9. goal

    GOAL - Blackpool 1-0 Leyton Orientpublished at 17:49 British Summer Time 6 May 2017

    Neil Danns

    No surprises as Blackpool take the lead against already relegated Leyton Orient through Neil Danns. That would be enough to earn the Seasiders a play-off place.

    Newport 0-0 Notts County

    Some Notts County pressure comes to nothing but the visitors have shown that they are not going to roll over today.

  11. 'What a miss'published at 17:46 British Summer Time 6 May 2017

    Wycombe 0-0 Cambridge

    BBC Sport

    For all the world it looked like Wycombe's Scott Kashket was going to score, but somehow, somehow he's managed to miss. 

    As the BBC Three Counties Radio commentator Phil Catchpole said, if he had a mortgage, he'd have lost his house.

    What a miss. 

  12. goal

    GOAL - Crawley 0-1 Mansfieldpublished at 17:46 British Summer Time 6 May 2017

    Danny Rose

    Seven into two doesn't go as far the play-off race is concerned. Mansfield Town are the least likely to make the top seven, but they are doing all they can.

    The Stags lead against Crawley thanks to a Danny Rose goal. They need a miracle, but you never know. After all, Leicester won the Premier League last season.

    Hartlepool 0-0 Doncaster

    Lewis Hawkins has a go for the hosts from 25 yards but he can't get much power on his shot and it bounces into the arms of visiting goalkeeper Ian Lawlor.

  14. goal

    GOAL - Exeter 1-0 Carlislepublished at 17:42 British Summer Time 6 May 2017

    Reuben Reid

    The first goal scored in the play-off race - and it goes against Carlisle. They need to win to be sure of their place but are behind against the Grecians as Reuben Reid runs through and calmly sidefoots home.

    Newport 0-0 Notts County

    Even opening at Rodney Parade where neither goalkeeper has been forced into a save so far.

    Hartlepool 0-0 Doncaster

    The hosts have made a really high energy start but that Andy Williams chance and another couple of brief moments of panic mean they know they can not afford to pile too much forward.

    Plymouth behind in race for titlepublished at 17:39 British Summer Time 6 May 2017

    Grimsby 1-0 Plymouth

    A penny for the thoughts of Plymouth boss Derek Adams, whose side concede the first goal of the day.

    A goalmouth scramble following a corner sees Shaun Pearson volley in from close range.

    It means the title is heading to Doncaster as it stands.

    Hartlepool 0-0 Doncaster

    Terrific save from Hartlepool goalkeeper Trevor Carson.

    A free-kick eventually falls to the feet of Doncaster striker Andy Williams and he fires in a low strike that Carson does well to get down to and put behind.

    Not all the 5.30pm kick-offs come in League Two today. There's also one game in the Premier League and Hull's surprise home defeat by Sunderland has made it a biggie.

    Third-from-bottom Swansea welcome Everton to the Liberty Stadium knowing that a victory will lift Paul Clement's side above the Tigers and out of the relegation zone.

    It's under way and you can follow it here.
