    Doncaster 0-1 Blackburn

    They're heading in to five minutes of added time at Doncaster, where Blackburn are going up automatically unless the hosts equalise.

    Derby 2-1 Cardiff

    Cardiff are throwing absolutely everything at Derby now. The Bluebirds win a corner which Derby just about manage to clear.

    It's all hands on deck stuff here!

    Derby 2-1 Cardiff

    Wow, Yanic Wildschut almost atones for his poor defending in the build-up to Derby's second goal as he fires just wide from an acute angle and the Rams are forced into a hasty clearance.

    From the corner that follows, Sean Morrison almost finds a close-range leveller but Scott Carson pulls off a terrific save.

    Bristol Rovers 1-1 Wigan

    Ryan Colclough has equalised for Wigan with a bouncing shot from outside the box, which would give them a one-point lead over Blackburn at the top of the table as things stand, in the race for the League One title.

    H'oh boy.

    This has been on the cards for a while. Some horrendous defending from Yanic Wildschut allows Andre Widsom to play in Matej Vydra to thunder home inside the box.

    How important will this goal be in the end of season promotion push? As it stands Cardiff are just a point ahead of Fulham with both sides on the same amount of games played.

    Just under 10 minutes of normal time remain.

  6. goal

    GOAL: Bradford 2-0 MK Donspublished at 21:24 British Summer Time 24 April 2018

    Nat Knight-Percival (80 mins)

    MK Dons are slipping ever closer to League Two. They're all-but down if they lose tonight.

    And they have a mountain to climb now as Nat Knight-Percival's drive doubles Bradford's lead.

    So thanks to that goal from Blackburn's skipper, they are around eight minutes away from a swift return to the Championship.

    Derby 1-1 Cardiff

    Anthony Pilkington goes down as he's through on goal and gesticulates wildly at the linesman as no action is taken after he's brought down by Andre Wisdom.

    Then, quick as a flash, at the other end Cameron Jerome almost doubles his tally for the evening and Cardiff hastily clear.

    Derby 1-1 Cardiff

    Like a lot of pitches around the country this evening, it's quite slick at Pride Park after all the rain we've had today.

    Cardiff City's Kenneth Zohore is the latest victim of this downpour as he works his way into the box before slipping as he tries his luck.

    Charlie Mulgrew (80 mins)

    But hold on! Blackburn are in front! It had been coming. The travelling fans go wild as Charlie Mulgrew diverts the ball home from a corner.

    If Blackburn hold on to win, they'll be going up tonight regardless of what happens at Shrewsbury. Mulgrew wheels away in celebration. He knows what that means to the club.

    GOAL: Shrewsbury 2-1 Peterboroughpublished at 21:18 British Summer Time 24 April 2018

    Stefan Payne (73 mins)

    This changes things. Blackburn's promotion might have to wait, because Shrewsbury have come from behind to lead.

    Stefan Payne's strike from outside the area moves Shrewsbury within five points of Blackburn in the as-it-stands table, with two further games to come.

    Nottm Forest 2-0 Barnsley

    Nottingham Forest don't look like conceding against Barnsley.

    Their latest attack sees Matty Cash work on to some neat passing from the hosts before firing a shot against the upright.

  13. Postpublished at 21:17 British Summer Time 24 April 2018

    Morecambe 0-0 Cambridge

    Morecambe are moving five points clear of the League Two relegation zone if it stays like this, and a draw would also confirm Chesterfield's fate.

    The 24th-placed Spireites are heading down to the National League for sure, unless Cambridge score.

  14. Postpublished at 21:16 British Summer Time 24 April 2018

    Derby 1-1 Cardiff

    Derby have their tails up after that Cameron Jerome equaliser and Neil Etheridge is forced to palm away an otherwise harmless corner that swings into the box.

    The Rams look like a different team in the second half.

    Coventry 2-4 Lincoln

    Lincoln have their fourth goal at Coventry through Lee Frecklington and they look to be on course to move within four points of the automatic promotion spaces, as well as all-but sealing their play-off place.

    Cameron Jerome (68 mins)

    Raucous celebrations at Pride Park and there will be some in west London, too!

    Cameron Jerome scrambles to stay up as he receives the ball in the box and rolls past two Cardiff defenders and goalkeeper Neil Etheridge to score against his former club.

    A reminder that this is Cardiff's game in hand on third-placed Fulham. As it stands the Bluebirds remain in second place, but by two points.

    Doncaster 0-0 Blackburn

    It's hard to fathom how Blackburn haven't taken the lead yet at Doncaster. Derrick Williams hits the post with their latest chance.

    Nottm Forest 2-0 Barnsley

    Dimitri Cavare sends a long throw into midfield which falls to Kieffer Moore on the edge of the box, but the Barnsley striker fires wide of the mark.

    The visitors could do with a goal and fast.

    Derby 0-1 Cardiff

    Jeers ring around Pride Park as a promising Derby attack ends with Tom Lawrence booting an attempted cross about 20 yards wide and 40 feet over the bar.

    At the other end, an unmarked Gary Madine scuffs a shot towards goal. His search for a first Cardiff City goal goes on.

  20. goal

    GOAL: Shrewsbury 1-1 Peterboroughpublished at 21:06 British Summer Time 24 April 2018

    Omar Beckles (59 mins)

    Stay away from that champagne just yet, Blackburn fans! Omar Beckles bundles in to equalise for Shrewsbury from close range after successive corners.

    However, with Blackburn still matching Shrewsbury, Rovers are still going up for now. Shrewsbury need another.
