    Millwall 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough bring Lewis Wing on for Grant Leadbitter in midfield and Britt Assombalonga has a chance to pull one back for the visitors.

    Shaun Hutchison blocks his header and down the other end Aiden O'Brien is again a threat for Millwall.

    Boro scramble clear once more though.

    Jacques Maghoma (56 mins)

    A goal at St Andrew's! And it's a super finish from a corner by Jacques Maghoma.

    That means we've had at least one goal in all of our Championship matches today.

    Ipswich 1-2 Blackburn

    Little of note in either penalty area in the second half so far at Portman Road.

    Bradley Dack does go down though under pressure from Trevoh Chalobah in Ipswich's area but the referee isn't interested and waves away his appeals for a penalty.

    Millwall 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Probably should've been 3-0 to Millwall but Steve Morison can't quite reach a low cross from Jed Wallace wide out on the right.

    Boro living dangerously.

    Ollie Watkins (48 mins)

    Game over at Griffin Park.

    Ollie Watkins fires Brentford's third in off the crossbar and it's a disappointing return to the Championship for Paul Warne's Rotherham.

    West Brom 1-1 Bolton

    West Brom also starting the second half brightly and David Wheater is forced into some last-ditch defending.

    Harvey Barnes involved once again for the hosts and Mark Beevers also has to help out and block a goal-bound attempt.

    GOAL: Preston 1-0 QPRpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 4 August 2018

    Alan Browne (50 mins)

    There's been the first goal of Steve McClaren's QPR reign - but not for his team...

    Alan Browne is on target for Preston, looping home a header at the back post.

    Millwall 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough out of the blocks and flying at the start of the second half as they try to force a way back in.

    Stewart Downing nearly connects with a George Friend ball fired across goal but it's out of his reach.

    Talk about timing.

    Within a couple of seconds of publishing that previous entry, Forest equalise at Ashton Gate with a header from Daryl Murphy.

    There's a bit more attention on Nottingham Forest this season following their summer recruitment drive, but things aren't going to plan so far for Aitor Karanka and his side, who trail 1-0 at Bristol City.

    Still plenty of time for Forest to turn things around.

  12. KICK-OFFpublished at 16:03 British Summer Time 4 August 2018

    Second halves under way.

    "We go again!" as players and managers love to say in post-match interviews these days....

  13. League Two headlinespublished at 16:00 British Summer Time 4 August 2018

    Exeter have shaken off the disappointment of losing in the play-off final last season and lead Carlisle 2-1.

    Two of the newly-relegated teams, Oldham and MK Dons, face each other today, with MK Dons leading 2-1 under new boss Paul Tisdale.

    Macclesfield are goalless against Swindon on their return to League Two.

    And Tranmere, joining the Silkmen from the National League, are a goal behind at Stevenage, who lead 2-1.

  14. League One half-time headlinespublished at 15:54 British Summer Time 4 August 2018

    Accrington Stanley's maiden League One voyage has already hit choppy waters in the form of Gillingham, who lead 2-0 at the break.

    Newly-relegated Burton are faring little better, and they're currently losing 2-0 at Rochdale thanks to a double from Brad Inman.

    Joey Barton's Fleetwood are goalless against Wimbledon at half-time.

    The youngest boss in the EFL this season, Bradford's Michael Collins, could register the first win of his managerial career as his side lead 1-0 at Shrewsbury.

    And newly-relegated Barnsley's search for an instant return to the second tier has got off to the best possible start, as they lead 2-0 against Oxford.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 4 August 2018

    West Brom 1-1 Bolton

    All square after an eventful first 45 minutes at The Hawthorns.

    Bolton almost doubled their lead before West Brom's leveller when Will Buckley couldn't quite tap in Josh Vela's cross.

    Harvey Barnes' curling effort from the edge of the box has cancelled out Josh Magennis' opener.

  17. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 4 August 2018

    Millwall 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Been a torrid first 45 minutes of the season for Tony Pulis and Middlesbrough.

    Millwall more than good value for their 2-0 lead at The Den and may have had a couple more.

    Aiden O'Brien and Lee Gregory with the goals for the Lions.

    Harvey Barnes (45+1 mins)

    West Brom are level and it's an equaliser from debutant Harvey Barnes.

    The Leicester loanee marauds forward during some nice interplay and draws his side back into just before the break.

    Walsall 0-1 Plymouth Argyle

    That goal by Ryan Edwards is extra special for Plymouth Argyle...

    In January 2018, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.

    But thankfully he's been given the all-clear - and has only gone and scored on his first game back.
