Third-placed Shrewsbury appear to be wasting a glorious opportunity to go second in League One. They trail Scunthorpe 1-0 and Shrews keeper Dean Henderson has also had to save a penalty from goalscorer Josh Morris (pictured).

Bristol Rovers are 2-1 up away at fellow promotion-hopefuls Plymouth and Rotherham are also enjoying a road trip. They lead Northampton 1-0, with Michael Smith on target.

Elsewhere, Portsmouth are 2-0 up at Oldham, Oxford lead Peterborough 1-0 and third-from-bottom MK Dons are 1-0 to the good against basement side Bury.

45 minutes down, 45 to go.

It's half-time across the Championship, with four of the eight games still goalless but no shortage of action in the others.

Don't forget, you can send us any of your thoughts on today's action, the season in general, or even your (non-branded) choice of Saturday afternoon snacks you're settling down in front of Final Score with.

Neal Maupay has been a bit wasteful for Brentford this afternoon.

The French forward's latest chance ends with him firing straight at Darren Randolph from 15 yards.

Ollie Watkins went ever so close to getting the Bees' second goal moments earlier, with in-form Middlesbrough looking a tad shaky this afternoon.

Dean Henderson has saved a penalty for Shrewsbury, but League One's third-placed team still trail Scunthorpe 1-0.

Josh Morris was the guilty man, so he is still on 12 goals for the season.

Elsewhere, Plymouth had got back on terms against Bristol Rovers at Home Park, but Ellis Harrison has restored Rovers' advantage. It's 2-1 to the visitors.

Simon Latson: As it stands and frankly generally @ReadingFC, external are in deep deep trouble and heading for League One. What’s the record for a manager not winning and keeping his job? Jaap must be getting close.

Hey, a little sign of life from Nottingham Forest.

Matty Cash bursts through on goal after Sheffield United defender Enda Stevens was caught in possession, but Jamal Blackman dives to make the save.

Birmingham should be two or three goals ahead after a terrific first-half performance.

Che Adams is denied twice more by Hull keeper Allan McGregor, before the striker fires over the bar.

Hull will be thrilled if they are only one down at the break.

The most recently-appointed manager in the EFL, Phil Brown, is off to a flying start as Luke Norris has put his play-off chasing Swindon side ahead at Cambridge.

Luton have wasted no time in levelling at Newport, with left-back Dan Potts heading in his SEVENTH of the season from close range.

Are promotion-hopefuls Rotherham about to get back to winning ways after consecutive defeats? They had won seven in a row before losing their past two.

They lead at Northampton. It's a fifth goal in nine games from Michael Smith.

I'm not ignoring you, I promise.

Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest just aren't doing a huge amount, perhaps unsurprisingly so given the Reds have drawn their past two games 0-0.

The Blades have two shots on target so far, while Forest have none.

It's not thrilling.

From bad to better for Birmingham.

The Blues are forced into their first change due to an injury to Craig Gardner, Cheikh N'Doye coming on.

The injury doesn't affect their dominance in the match though, Lukas Jutkiewicz denied by a wonderful save by Allan McGregor, who parries the ball away from the top corner.

Any sign of a response from Hull?

Harry Wilson goes close with a shot aimed for the far corner, but that's as much as the visitors have created at St Andrew's so far.
