Recently-relegated Middlesbrough are winless in their past 20 away league games and had lost six in a row on the road.

As it stands, they're going to break that duck this afternoon, but Bolton are having a go.

Boro keeper Darren Randolph has needed to make a couple of saves.

Geoff Ramm: Come back Bruce, Di Canio, Poyet & Moyes - all is forgiven

Sunderland are still trailing at home to Sheffield United.

Just before the hour mark, we've reached what I like to call 'first substitution time', and several teams are indeed making changes.

Sunderland remain on course for what would be a shock third straight league defeat.

They've still got plenty of time to turn it around, but the Black Cats won't be enjoying this, especially after losing 3-0 at Barnsley last time out.

Bolton's best chance since the break has seen Darren Pratley shoot wide after good work from Gary Madine.

Cardiff, looking to maintain their impressive 100% record, go close to an opener but Nathaniel Mendez-Laing fires over the bar from close range.

Birmingham's club record signing Jota fires a powerful free-kick over the bar.

Play is getting back under way - and they've already re-started in Berkshire, where it was goalless at the break.

The players around the grounds have had their half-time banana/orange/kiwi fruit (delete as appropriate) and are getting ready to head out for the second half.

Stay right here for all the rest of the afternoon's action, won't you?
