West Brom beaten 2-1 at home by Bolton
Middlesbrough come from 2-0 down to draw at Millwall
Brentford hammer Rotherham 5-1, Wigan beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-2
West Brom 0-0 Bolton
No breakthrough yet at The Hawthorns and Sammy Ameobi has a moment to make his eyes water in a collision with Kieran Gibbs.
The Bolton winger is back on his feet as Matty Phillips has a tame shot at the other end.
Peterborough 1-0 Bristol Rovers
Peterborough's new signing wasted little time to announce himself to his new supporters...

Michael Jacobs (11 mins)
Antonee Robinson - whose Twitter handle is, well, I'll leave you to look for it - streams up the pitch from left back and crosses to Michael Jacobs for an easy finish.
The League One champions lead on their Championship return.

And just like that, Millwall have the lead. That man Aiden O'Brien in the action again to put Neil Harris' side ahead.
Lee Gregory is the provider with a lovely square pass on to O'Brien's run into the area for the opener.
Millwall 0-0 Middlesbrough
No goals in the opening 10 minutes at The Den where the hosts have started the brighter.
Aiden O'Brien almost gets on the end of a searching ball from George Saville but Ryan Shotton is there to head behind. Darren Randolph clings on to the resulting corner.
League One and League Two update
Ludicrously early, Peterborough take the lead against Bristol Rovers in League One with just a minute gone, Matt Godden heading home at the back post.
Crewe are also ahead against Morecembe, with Charlie Kirk scoring the first League Two goal of the season.
On their first game in League Two following relegation last season, MK Dons lead at Oldham thanks to a Kieran Agard penalty.
Bristol City 1-0 Nottingham Forest
Some things never change...

Neal Maupay (4 mins)
Newly-promoted Rotherham are behind early on at Brentford. Neal Maupay follows up after a Marek Rodak save to put the Bees ahead.
Andreas Weimann (5 mins)
Image source, Rex FeaturesWhat a start for new signing Andreas Weimann at Bristol City!
Weimann heads in from close range to put the Robins in front.
Gwion Edwards (5 mins)
What a start for new Ipswich boss Paul Hurst and Ipswich Town!
One of his new signings Gwion Edwards heads them in front against Blackburn just five minutes in.
Beautiful floated cross from Freddie Sears from the left and former Peterborough man Edwards was there to meet it at pace and head home.
Walsall 0-0 Plymouth
A wonderful piece of team news from Walsall, where Plymouth Argyle have centre-back Ryan Edwards back in their starting line-up.
Edwards was treated for testicular cancer last season, forcing him to miss the final few months of the season.
Welcome back, Ryan.
West Brom 0-0 Bolton

The two clubs have been negotiating over the Venezuelan and a deal could be concluded over the weekend.
Magpies boss Rafael Benitez has been desperate to strengthen his squad and feels Rondon can give him added firepower.
Rondon was not included in West Brom’s squad for their Championship game against Bolton at The Hawthorns today.
Shrewsbury 0-0 Bradford
Shrewsbury Town are employing a safe standing section at Montgomery Waters Meadow this season - the first EFL club to do so.
Image source, PAHere we go then!
The big kick-off. Good luck to your respective sides during this 2018-19 season, the waiting is finally over....
Exeter v Carlisle (15:00 BST)
Image source, Rex FeaturesFor the previous 12 seasons one thing has been a constant in Devon - Paul Tisdale in the Exeter Cuty dugout.
Not so this summer. The EFL's longest-serving boss left the club for League Two rivals MK Dons in May after City's fans served notice on his contract almost two years ago, so the Grecians begin the season with a new coaching team in place.
Former City skipper Matt Taylor has been promoted from Under-23 manager and will make his bow as a first-team boss at home to Carlisle United in League Two.
With a new skipper in Jake Taylor (no relation) after previous captain Jordan Moore-Taylor left to join Tisdale in Milton Keynes, there seems to be an optimistic air around St James Park.
Swindon v Macclesfield (15:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesSorry, an awful play on some Eminem lyrics there.
But after six years in the National League, Macclesfield return to the EFL today with a trip to a new-look Swindon Town side who are aiming for promotion.
Mark Yates has taken over at the Moss Rose after John Askey left for Shrewsbury Town, having led his beloved Macc back to the fourth tier.
Can experienced lower-league boss Yates keep Macclesfield's upward trajectory going? Let us know using #bbcefl on social media.
Accrington v Gillingham (15:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesExactly. Well, quite a lot more people know who they are now than did back in the days of that milk advert.
John Coleman's side won League Two last season - their greatest-ever achievement - and now play in the third tier of English football for the first time.
Owner Andy Holt had a famous Twitter ding-dong with former England player and Salford City co-owner Gary Neville last month over the amount of money his National League side were spending.
Staying up in League One for Stanley may well be seen as an achievement greater than anything the well-backed Salford can do this season.
Fleetwood v AFC Wimbledon (15:00 BST)
Joey Barton: Fleetwood Town boss compares football career to a party
Footballer. Philosopher. Gambler. Manager?
Joey Barton's been called many things in his time (not all of them broadcastable), but for the first time this afternoon he'll be called a manager.
The 35-year-old begins life as the boss of Fleetwood Town at home against AFC Wimbledon in League One.
Can the former Manchester City, Newcastle and one-time England midfielder inspire Fleetwood to success? Let us know using #bbcefl on social media.
Ipswich Town v Blackburn Rovers (15:00 BST)
Blackburn finished second in League One last season and so are back in the second tier after a 12-month absence.
Here's what manager Tony Mowbray has to say about their Championship return...

Brentford v Rotherham United (15:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesNewly-promoted Rotherham travel to Griffin Park for their first game back in the Championship since relegation in 2016-17.
Paul Warne's side secured their return to the second tier via the play-offs last May but will be keen to break their opening day duck this afternoon: the South Yorkshire side haven't got off to a winning start in a league campaign since 2011-12.
It's been even longer since they've won away from home on the opening day of a league season - the last time they did that was in 2002, when they thrashed Millwall 6-0.
When we asked our reporters to predict the final Championship table, 20 of our 23 journalists tipped the Millers for the drop.
But it's worth noting the three of the teams promoted from League One in 2016-17 - Sheffield United, Bolton Wanderers and Millwall - all went on to survive last season.
