Joey van den Berg catches the impressive James Maddison to become the fourth Reading player to go into the referee's book. Maddison is still down after that late challenge.

Garath McCleary intercepts a free-kick from Wes Hoolahan and drives into space before opting to shoot rather than look for a team mate. His shot goes wide of the near post. Chance wasted for the Royals.

Ivo Pinto receives an elbow from Roy Beerens, with the Reading man going into the book for the forceful block.

Strange situation as Josh Murphy leaves the pitch with a toe injury, but his replacement Marley Watkins doesn't come on straight away as he's apparently nipped to the toilet. Luckily the former Barnsley man appears in time to come on.

Middlesbrough boss Garry Monk has been speaking to BBC Tees following his side's frustrating home draw with Brentford:

"We worked extremely hard in the week and they were focused, but today I just felt a bit of anxiety crept in, in that first half.

"The goals that we conceded were down to our own mistakes."

Buoyed by their second goal from a set piece this evening, Norwich are content keeping the ball from their opposition.

Reading will have to break down a resolute defence if they are to get back in this one.

Josh Murphy is presented with the ball by Reading, but he can't pick out a Norwich team mate with his cross. Rubbish defending not punished.

Tyler Blackett does very well down the left-hand side for Reading, but Roy Beerens can't gather in his cut-back.

Norwich clear, but it's been a bright start to the half from the hosts.

Joe Wedgwood: Decision to drop Oliveria is Farkical, get that man on now! C'mon Canaries!

Nelson Oliveira didn't start Norwich's last game and only got on in the 85th minute. I suppose the 1-0 win over Middlesbrough encouraged Daniel Farke to stick with Cameron Jerome as the lone striker, but we may well see the Portuguese striker tonight.

The players are back out in the middle at the Madejski with Norwich kicking us off.

Can Reading end a run of four Championship games without a win? Or will Norwich's solid run continue? We are about to find out.

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was not unhappy when speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield, praising his side despite their 2-1 loss at Nottingham Forest:

"I don't know whether to cry or smile, but I'm going to go down the smiling route, because if there was a confirmer today that my team has landed in the Championship, it was that performance.

"It was an outstanding performance that didn't really get rewarded.

"I'm not going soft, because I want us to win. But I'm going to take a backward step off them because they don't deserve me to rocket them. We're absolutely 100% on the right track."

After his side's win at Ipswich, which extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 11 games, Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol:

"The players were energetic, in our third game in a week, with two trips to East Anglia. We dealt with Ipswich's threats really well.

"It was a really good Championship game. It has been a fantastic month for us.

"The signs are good. It feels like the plan is coming together. We have a bit of steel, energy and some young players starting to mature."

Speaking after his side's third straight draw, a 0-0 stalemate at Championship leaders Cardiff City, Rams boss Gary Rowett told BBC Radio Derby:

"It was a magnificent effort from the players. We were fantastic.

"We actually had four or five wonderful, wonderful chances towards the end.

"To come here and keep clean sheet and really limit them, I thought we were by far the better team today."

As it's half-time at the Madejski we'll bring you some reaction from the earlier games in the Championship.

It wasn't short of action, so let us see what the managers thought of it.

There's the half-time whistle. After an excellent free-kick from James Maddison and a header from Liam Moore the match played out in an even, if not exhilarating fashion. A draw is fair enough. Can either side step it up after the break?

Chris Gunter gets back and makes an important block from Josh Murphy after the Norwich winger had cut back inside onto his right foot and looked to shoot.

Norwich win the ball back high up the pitch and threaten for the first time in a while, but Josh Murphy's shot from outside the penalty area is easily gathered by Vito Mannone.

Norwich have dropped back into their defensive shape, with Reading seeing all of the ball now.

Sone Aluko gets down the right-hand side but the former Fulham forward is ushered out of play.

Garath McCleary very nearly puts Reading 2-1 up, but he sends a cushioned finish just wide. James Husband's shoulder charge and the onrushing Angus Gunn maybe did just enough to put the Reading forward off.
