    And Reading fans will now be wishing that it was half-time already.

    Sheffield United double their lead in the closing moments of the first half as Mark Duffy lets fly from distance and Vito Mannone can't get across in time to keep it out of his goal.

    Blades in control.

    Hull City 0-1 Barnsley

    Barnsley with the lead at the break in this relegation six-pointer after Oli McBurnie's header.

    Lots of additional time played after Barnsley defender Adam Jackson was badly injured and received treatment on the pitch for quite some time.

    Jackson was only playing his second game since October following a lengthy injury layoff.

    Hull City 0-1 Barnsley

    Still in injury time at Hull where there was a very long delay there for Adam Jackson to receive treatment.

    Meanwhile Hull nearly force an equaliser - Ola Aina tries his luck with a volley form 20 yards, but Nick Townsend beats it way from danger.

    Wycombe 0-0 Coventry

    Half-time in League Two's only fixture and there's nothing to write home about. Just two shots on target so far in this snowy stalemate.

  8. League One updatepublished at 20:39 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2018

    We've reached the break in League One, where leaders Blackburn are in control, 1-0 up against AFC Wimbledon.

    It's 1-1 between Peterborough and Walsall at London Road, where thankfully the snow has eased slightly.

    Hull City 0-1 Barnsley

    They're still in stoppage time at the KCOM following that nasty injury for Adam Jackson.

    Matty Pearson comes on to replace him and there's a lot of concern for Jackson's condition among the two medical teams.

    Reading 0-1 Sheffield United

    And Sheffield United have indeed been forced into an early double change.

    Leon Clarke makes way for Clayton Donaldson and Jamal Blackman is replaced between the sticks by Simon Moore.

    Peterborough 1-1 Walsall

    Omar Bogle has equalised for Peterborough, benefiting from a snow-induced defensive mistake to slot underneath goalkeeper Liam Roberts.

    Reading 0-1 Sheffield United

    Staying on the injury front, looks like Sheffield United are going to be without Leon Clarke for the remainder of the game as he pulls up clutching his hamstring.

    He's off and that'll be the end of his night. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Jamal Blackman is also receiving treatment for an injury of his own.

    Hull City 0-1 Barnsley

    Barnsley striker Kieffer Roberto Francisco Moore to give him his full and rather impressive name, tries to double the visitors' lead.

    He hits the target with a shot from goalscorer Oli McBurnie's lay-off but Allan McGregor is there to parry it away.

    Reading again being punished on the counter attack by Sheffield United, but this time the Blades can't capitalise.

    Reading manage to guide it behind for a corner, but then a strike from Lee Evans flies just over the crossbar from the resulting set piece.

    Blackburn Rovers have made a good start as they look for a fourth straight league win to extend their lead in League One.

    Bradley Dack's 13th goal of the season has done the trick. Jack Payne's corner set up a looping header to make it 1-0.

    Reading 0-1 Sheffield United

    Reading still not quite at it after that nervy start and Billy Sharp's goal for Sheffield United.

    Liam Kelly, who scored a belter against Derby on Saturday, tries to work Jamal Blackman in the visitors' goal, but he has the answers to stop his shots.

    There's just one match in League Two this evening and we're yet to see a goal between third-placed Wycombe and ninth-placed Coventry.

    Adebayo Akinfenwa has headed wide for the hosts, while Marc McNulty had a shot blocked for the Sky Blues, who looking for a first win in five games tonight.

    Hull City 0-1 Barnsley

    Hull try and mount a response after falling behind and Seb Larsson has a go from range.

    His shot has Nick Townsend stretching, but it's always going wide of the target.

    Nouha Dicko then gets into the area and tries to fire a ball across the face of goal, but it's neither a shot or a cross and goes wide of the far post and behind for a goal kick.

    Two quick-fire goals there in the Championship, meanwhile the pictures I can see from Peterborough suggest they might not get to 90 minutes if that snow keeps falling!
