  1. PENALTY TO LEEDSpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    Leeds 1-1 QPR

    QPR defender Toni Leistner adjudged to have handled in the area...

    Kemar Roofe to take.

    Wigan 0-1 Derby

    Ten-man Wigan are having a go at the start of this half.

    A cross from Nathan Byrne - who's been one of their biggest threat - is deflected into the box, Lee Evans gets it under control but just can't quite get a shot away from close range.

    Good battling from the Latics.

  3. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    Middlesbrough 0-1 Blackburn

    Boro's half-time changes haven't had the immediate effect they'd have hoped for.

    Blackburn talisman Bradley Dack hits the post and Darren Randolph saves Craig Conway's rebound.

    Rovers making the most of their extra man.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    Leeds 1-1 QPR

    Another half-time substitute - QPR's Josh Scowen - has been booked 30 seconds after the restart for a late challenge on Mateusz Klich.

    Youngster Jamie Shackleton looks particularly dangerous for Leeds, who will expect to complete the turnaround here.

    GOAL: Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Rotherhampublished at 16:08 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    Michael Smith (46 mins)

    Some team talk by Rotherham boss Paul Warne! The Millers are level in their local derby against Sheffield Wednesday.

    Michael Smith finishes well to equalise at Hillsborough in the first minute of the second half.

  6. Postpublished at 16:05 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    Middlesbrough 0-1 Blackburn

    Tony Pulis IS NOT messing about.

    He's brought Britt Assombalonga and George Saville on for Stewart Downing and Adam Clayton before the second half.

    That's all three subs used already - they trail Blackburn and are down to 10 men, remember.

    Norwich celebrateImage source, Rex Features

    As promised, we're back under way in the majority of our games across the EFL.

    Will Norwich turn on the style? Can Leeds find a winner? Is a comeback on the cards for Brentford?

    Just a few questions that will be answered in the next 45 minutes or so.

    Of the 10 Championship games ongoing, only two are goalless at half time - not bad!

    Managerless Reading have slipped into the relegation zone in the 'as it stands' table... I wonder how quickly they might look to replace Paul Clement. They host Sheffield United in the late kick-off.

    The 15:00 GMT games will be back under way shortly.

    • Portsmouth appear to be marching on at the top as they lead Southend 2-0 - Pompey started the day four points clear.
    • Wally Downes hasn't had a great first half as AFC Wimbledon boss as they trail 1-0 at home to Rochdale.
    • The same goes for Sam Ricketts at Shrewsbury - his side are losing by the same score at Burton.
    • Bradford could be climbing off the bottom, as they lead 2-1 at Plymouth.
  11. Championship half-time headlinespublished at 15:56 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    It's half-time in almost all of our Championship games...

    • Leaders Norwich are heading three points clear as it stands after Mario Vrancic puts them 1-0 up against Bolton.
    • Kemar Roofe scored with the last kick of the first half as second-placed Leeds go in 1-1 with QPR.

    Brentford 1-3 Swansea

    By the way, I said Ollie Watkins pulled one back on the stroke of half-time...

    EIGHT MINUTES of injury time means that's not really true, so I'm sorry.

    There was a long stoppage for a bad injury to Swansea's Martin Olsson early in the half.

  13. goal

    GOAL: Stoke 1-0 Ipswichpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    Tom Ince (45+2 mins)

    Cruel on Ipswich, who've grown into this game, but Tom Ince puts Stoke ahead.

    Sam Clucas plays a perfect throughball for him to run on to, and the winger makes no mistake as he tucks home.

  14. goal

    GOAL: Leeds 1-1 QPRpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    Kemar Roofe (45+3 mins)

    Agonising for QPR - Kemar Roofe levels for Leeds with the last kick of the first half.

    It's a close-range tap-in that does the trick, after the hosts had previously struggled to create too much.

    We're also at half-time at Elland Road. How important a goal could that be?

  15. goal

    GOAL: Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Rotherhampublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    Lucas Joao (45+1 mins)

    Deadlock broken at Hillsborough just before half-time and the Owls lead.

    Lucas Joao goes through to finish beyond Marek Rodak.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    Norwich 1-0 Bolton

    Norwich v BoltonImage source, PA

    Not vintage stuff from Norwich but - as they've done so often this season - the leaders find a way to get themselves ahead.

    A fine Mario Vrancic finish from 20 yards is the difference, though Bolton have threatened through Sammy Ameobi and are by no means out of this.

  17. goal

    GOAL: Brentford 1-3 Swanseapublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    Ollie Watkins (45 mins)

    It's been coming! And how this goal changes things.

    On the stroke of half-time, Ollie Watkins is alive to the rebound and heads in after a thunderous strike from Josh McEachran hits the crossbar.

    We really could have some second half on our hands now - Brentford have hope!

  18. Postpublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    Brentford 0-3 Swansea

    Brentford really are knocking on the door!

    Neal Maupay, their 13-goal top-scorer, goes clear but Mike van der Hoorn gets back to stop him shooting.

    Possibly a goal-saving challenge.

    Swansea need that half-time whistle.

    Leeds 0-1 QPR

    Leeds have had 72% possession at Elland Road but have just one shot on target to show for it.

    They've shown very little since falling behind and QPR are keeping them arm's length for now.

    A long way to go, of course.

  20. Postpublished at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Preston

    Lewis Grabban puts in the kind of cross Lewis Grabban would love to be on the end of - but as it happens no Nottingham Forest player was there to get on the end of it.

    The hosts look scintillating going forward, but no reward yet.
