    Nigel Adkins' first game as Hull head coach takes a turn for the worse.

    Ollie Watkins is the creator, but it's David Meyler who puts the ball into his own goal as he pokes in Watkins' cross from eight yards out.

    Wolves 0-0 Sunderland

    Wolves win a free-kick straight after the break in a dangerous position, but Barry Douglas' effort clips the wall and goes behind.

    It's been the story of the afternoon so far for the Championship leaders.

    Just a reminder that two EFL games were postponed because of frozen pitches earlier.

    Bury against AFC Wimbledon in League One and Accrington v Swindon in League Two.

    It's been a sterling effort from groundsmen and volunteers up and down the country to get plenty of other games on.

    Well, that first half in the Championship finally came to life just before the break.

    I'm expecting a ton of goals in the second half!

    It's still goalless at Aston Villa, Burton, Hull, QPR and Wolves.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Hull 0-0 Brentford

    It could hardly be accused of being a classic, but there were signs this game might come to life after the break in the last few minutes.

    A solid start to life as Hull City head coach for Nigel Adkins.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Ipswich

    Martin Braithwaite's bundled finish separates these sides at the break.

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Fulham 1-0 Birmingham City

    No signs yet to suggest Birmingham's dismal away form is about to change - they've not won away from home all season.

    Big team talk ahead for the Blues.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Wolves 0-0 Sunderland

    Oof, Leo Bonatini misses the best chance of the first half just before the break.

    Ivan Cavaleiro's low cross is poked wide by the Brazilian.

    And there's the half-time whistle at Molineux.

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Luton 1-0 Notts County

    Notts County started strongly at League Two leaders Luton, but they trail at half-time after falling behind to Johnny Mullins' header.

    GOAL: Barnsley 0-2 Derbypublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Matej Vydra (44 mins)

    They're flying in now! Derby are suddenly all over Barnsley and Matej Vydra doubles their lead.

    Barnsley look set for a fifth straight defeat...

  15. goal

    GOAL: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Boltonpublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Will Buckley (45 mins)

    Where have these goals been all afternoon?

    Bolton are the latest side to get on the scoresheet, levelling the game at Nottingham Forest as Will Buckley gets his head to Josh Vela's cross to plant the ball past keeper Jordan Smith.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-0 Ipswichpublished at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Martin Braithwaite (44 mins)

    What's the line everyone always says about London buses?

    Martin Braithwaite's close-range finish gets Boro in front after Ipswich failed to clear their lines.

  17. Postpublished at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Hull 0-0 Brentford

    And now a shot on target at the other end at Hull!

    It's not a memorable one, but it still counts, Ollie Watkins not really troubling Allan McGregor from distance.

    Hopefully the second half will be a better spectacle.

  18. goal

    GOAL: Barnsley 0-1 Derbypublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Tom Lawrence (40 mins)

    It's a goal! The Rams open the scoring through Tom Lawrence as he nets on the rebound. That's arguably a tad harsh on the hosts - who have lost four in a row prior to today.

  19. Postpublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Wolves 0-0 Sunderland

    Hello, Sunderland create their first chance at Molineux.

    Lee Cattermole heads a corner wide.

    A wake-up call for the hosts.

  20. Postpublished at 15:42 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Hull 0-0 Brentford

    Hey, would you look at that, a shot on target.

    It's not been thrill-a-minute stuff at Hull today, but the hosts do at least test the keeper for the first time, Fraizer Campbell's shot parried over the bar by Dan Bentley.

    There's another chance a moment later, as Michael Dawson's header is kept out by a very smart Bentley stop.
