Millwall have certainly had the better of the chances, with Jed Wallace's the best of them following a lovely move.
I can see what Ian Holloway has gone for with pace, but youngster Bright Osayi-Samuel has lacked that composure in the final third.
I think Millwall have built their attacks better and kept the ball forward for periods. QPR have been unable to sustain their attacks.
It's very finely balanced and we hope for a better second half.
Away from the Championship, there are three other EFL matches taking place tonight.
League One leaders Wigan are currently being held by play-off hopefuls Charlton, while Doncaster have opened up a 2-0 lead at home to Rochdale.
In the fourth tier, Yeovil scored twice in the opening 17 minutes to take control of their match at Morecambe.

Phillippa: My @bcfctweets, external moment of 2017 apart from beating Man Utd in the cup is all the goal Gifs that the lads have created for the season so far (can't wait to see what they come up with next) & the way they've played this season, sitting in the play-offs with only 3 loses!
In the play-offs as things stand, Phillippa, but a Preston goal would change that...
Cardiff 0-0 Preston
Image source, Rex FeaturesThe referee calls time on a poor first half.
Millwall 0-0 QPR
No stoppage time at The Den, where Millwall and QPR go in level.
There have been chances for both sides, but Millwall have definitely had the better of it, with Aiden O'Brien, George Saville, Lee Gregory and Jed Wallace having chances.
QPR have tested Jordan Archer through Idrissa Sylla and Jake Bidwell, but the quality in the final third has been lacking.
Cardiff 0-0 Preston
We're in to the second of two minutes of first-half stoppage time in Cardiff.
Cardiff 0-0 Preston
... But, on the counter, Cardiff almost have a big chance as Lee Tomlin is played in, but he hasn't got the pace to race clear and he's forced to shoot from the edge of the box and it's saved.
From the corner, the ball falls to Joe Ralls and he bounces a volley just wide.
Cardiff 0-0 Preston
Preston are ending a rather uneventful first half on the front foot.
Cardiff 0-0 Preston
Paul Gallagher takes the free-kick. It hits the wall and then, on the rebound, appears to strike the arm of Cardiff's Lee Peltier.
The referee says no. It can't have been deliberate.
From the resulting corner, Preston's Jordan Hugill has a big chance, but he pokes over, swivelling in the air in the six-yard box.
Cardiff breathe a sigh of relief.
