    Reading 2-3 Derby

    Scott Carson has been touted for England by his boss Gary Rowett more than once this season, and he's showing why.

    Liam Kelly, who has already scored one from range, forces a very impressive stop from the veteran.

    Straight up the other end, Andreas Weimann's ball into the box is asking to be tapped home, but isn't.

    And the second half has finally started at the Stadium of Light.

    Sunderland will remain bottom as it stands, even if they hang on.

  3. goal

    GOAL QPR 0-3 Nottingham Forestpublished at 16:10 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Joe Lolley (51 mins)

    That looks like game, set and match for Forest.

    Lee Tomlin is this time the provider, setting up Joe Lolley to lash in from inside the box.

    QPR had won three of their last four home games - but it looks like it will be a defeat for them today.

    Sheff Wed 2-1 Aston Villa

    We saw how effective Lewis Grabban was in a poor Sunderland side in the first half of the season, and he looks ever so dangerous for Villa now.

    The ball pinballs around the Wednesday area and the striker's header is stopped by Joe Wildsmith.

  5. goal

    GOAL QPR 0-2 Nottingham Forestpublished at 16:08 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Lee Tomlin (47 mins)

    Dream start to the second half for Nottingham Forest as Lee Tomlin finds the top corner to cap a swift counter-attack for his second of the game.

    It looks a long way back for QPR.

  6. goal

    GOAL Reading 2-3 Derbypublished at 16:05 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Tom Lawrence (46 mins)

    This game is the gift that keeps on giving.

    It's taken 40 seconds for Derby to go ahead again and it's Wales forward Tom Lawrence who provides it.

    It's not pretty but he gets through a challenge and lashes the ball inside the far post.

    That won't be the end of it, I'm sure.

  7. Second halfpublished at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Saturday's EFL action

    That didn't feel like much of a break to me, but we're back under way for the second half across most of the EFL.

    One exception is at the Stadium of Light, of course, where the referee is probably ensuring he has his red and yellow cards handy for the next 45 minutes...

  8. Half-time Championship headlinespublished at 15:59 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    We've had 13 goals and two red cards (in the same game) - here are your half-time Championship headlines:

    • Joel Asoro's goal has bottom of the table Sunderland ahead against rivals Middlesbrough - but both sides have had a man sent off.
    • Oli McBurnie scored twice and had a penalty saved as Barnsley lead relegation rivals Birmingham 2-0 on their travels.
    • Reading and Derby are locked at 2-2 in a topsy-turvy encounter at the Madjeski.
    • Lewis Grabban cancelled out Sean Clare's early goal but Sheffield Wednesday lead third-placed Aston Villa thanks to Lucas Joao's header.

    It's still goalless in five of the 12 League Two fixtures today, but there's been more than enough excitement in the other seven games to make up for it.

    Morecambe are cruising to a huge upset at Wycombe, while leaders Luton need to turn a round a one-goal deficit at home to Cheltenham.

    None of the top three sides are ahead at the break.

    • Accrington 0-0 Cambridge
    • Chesterfield 1-0 Swindon
    • Colchester 0-0 Barnet
    • Forest Green 2-0 Crawley
    • Grimsby 0-1 Exeter

    • Yeovil 0-0 Carlisle
  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:55 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Sunderland 1-0 Middlesbrough

    It's finally half-time in the north-east, so safe to say this one will be finishing a good five minutes after most of the other games.

    You'll have no fingernails left, Sunderland fans!

    But first, let's chew the fat over what's happened in League One thus far...

    Saturday's EFL action

    Sunderland's Clarke-Salter sent-offImage source, Rex Features

    We're at half-time in all of our Championship games, aside from at the Stadium of Light where Sunderland and Middlesbrough are trying to keep their remaining 20 players on the pitch.

    We'll give you a round-up shortly...

  14. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Birmingham 0-2 Barnsley

    If the first half hasn't gone bad enough for Blues, they've now had a goal chalked off.

    Former Barnsley captain Marc Roberts is first to score a rebound, but the flag is raised.

    No VAR in use of course, so Birmingham have to take that one on the chin.

  15. goal

    GOAL Sheff Wed 2-1 Aston Villapublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Lucas Joao (45+1 mins)

    Lucas Joao's header puts the Owls back ahead in Yorkshire.

    It came from an Adam Reach cross in the last minute of the half.

    Steve Bruce's team talk will have taken a turn.

  16. INJURY TIMEpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Sunderland 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Now we have EIGHT minutes added on to the first half...

    What more can happen in this game?!

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Sunderland 1-0 Middlesbrough

    If there hasn't already been enough drama at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland are forced into a change.

    Paddy McNair comes off with an injury and is replaced by midfielder Jonny Williams.

    You'd presume that'll spark a change in formation...

    League Two latest

    Absolutely incredible scenes at Adams Park.

    Wycombe - one of the favourites for promotion - trail 3-0 to relegation-threatened Morecambe, 39-year-old Kevin Ellison scoring his second goal of the game and his 10th of the season.

    The only consolation for the Chairboys is the news coming from Luton, the league leaders falling a goal behind to visitors Cheltenham.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:42 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Sheff Wed 1-1 Aston Villa

    George Boyd is involved for everything for the hosts.

    First he hits the post and in the next attack he goes down under a challenge in the box, but nothing is given.

    Adama Traore sent offImage source, Rex Features

    It's 10 against 10 at the Stadium of Light.

    Boro's Adama Traore was on the wrong end of a challenge which saw Jake Clarke-Salter dismissed, but now it's his turn to walk.

    It's an off-the-ball incident with Bryan Oviedo and his second red card of the season - a reprieve for Sunderland.
