  1. League Two latestpublished at 21:05 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2019

    After an hour in League Two the battle to avoid the drop is really interesting.

    Notts County are off the bottom of the table as it stands - they lead 1-0 at Carlisle United.

    The two sides above County - Port Vale and Yeovil - face each other at Vale Park, and Manny Oyeleke's goal for the Valiants is the difference as it stands.

    Above them Morecambe are impressing - they lead MK Dons 3-0 at home - the Dons dropping out of the top three as it stands.

    Leaders Lincoln are still 1-0 up at home to Oldham and currently lead the division by five points.

    Bristol City 1-0 Ipswich Town

    Up to the hour mark at Ashton Gate and Ipswich's best chance of getting level in this is if debutant Robins keeper Stefan Marinovic makes a howler.

    He looks like he's got one in him as he's very nervous coming out to either claim a cross or punch it clear.

    How are you feeling, Rotherham and Millwall fans?

    They don't play until tomorrow but their relegation rivals Reading, Wigan, Bolton and Ipswich are all behind.

    Paul Warne and Neil Harris could afford themselves a smile as they sit in front of the TV...

    Sheffield United 1-0 Brentford

    The Bees are knocking on the door.

    Kamohelo Mokotjo hits the post after a short corner before Julian Jeanvier blasts the rebound over from ten yards.

    39 minutes to go....

    Not many goals since half-time in League One, just the one in fact.

    Michael Nottingham has put Blackpool 1-0 up against Doncaster.

    Meanwhile, leaders Luton still 1-0 up at Bradford City, still goalless between second-placed Barnsley and third-placed Sunderland while play-off place occupiers Portsmouth and Charlton are still leading Walsall and Burton respectively.

    Sheffield United 1-0 Brentford

    Dean Henderson has had a comedy clearance for Sheffield United - the Blades keeper flicks the ball 30 feet up in the air, over his head, and then heads it away. Bizarre!

    The Blades have kept six successive clean sheets - not sure how!

    It's that man again - the Wigan defending is horrendous.

    Blackburn keeper David Raya thumps long and it's not dealt with by the visiting defenders, allowing Danny Graham to nip in and finish calmly.

    The Latics have gone from almost equalising to going 2-0 down and staring at another defeat.

    Sheffield United 1-0 Brentford

    Brentford starting to make their man advantage count - they have had two decent efforts inside the first five minutes of the second half.

    Neil Maupay has an effort well-saved from Dean Henderson and Yoann Barbet shoots just wide.

    It could be a long second half for the Blades, who need to win with Leeds leading 3-0 at Reading.

  9. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:54 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2019

    Blackburn 1-0 Wigan

    Wigan come oh so close to a leveller just minutes after the interval.

    Callum McManaman - introduced as a half-time sub - crosses for Nick Powell, whose header skims the outside of the Blackburn post.

    Early signs are promising for Paul Cook's side.

    Bristol City 1-0 Ipswich Town

    Early stages of the second half and once more, Ipswich have plenty of the ball in the middle third, but little in terms of an incisive pass when it matters.

    Been the story of their season really. Trevoh Chalobah takes aim from distance but his low shot is saved by Stefan Marinovic in Bristol City's goal.

    Sheffield United 1-0 Brentford

    David McGoldrick almost makes the perfect start after coming on at half time.

    Seconds after the restart he forces Brentford keeper Luke Daniels to parry his effort over.

  12. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:51 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2019

    Sheffield United 1-0 Brentford

    Back under way at Bramall Lane and 10-man Sheffield United make two half time changes - David McGoldrick and Martin Cranie come on for Kieran Dowell and Scott Hogan.

  13. Second halfpublished at 20:49 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2019

    We're back under way in our 19:45 GMT matches across the EFL, including three games in the Championship.

    Here's how they stand going into the second half:

    • Blackburn 1-0 Wigan
    • Bristol City 1-0 Ipswich
    • Sheffield United 1-0 Brentford
  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:49 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2019

    Bolton Wanderers 0-1 Sheffield Wednesday

    Steven Fletcher's well-taken goal at the end of the half is a bright spot on an otherwise forgettable experience.

    Bolton owner Ken Anderson has 45 minutes left as owner - if the proposed takeover goes through later this week - I'm sure he would like a decent result to see out his controversial time at the University of Bolton Stadium.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:48 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2019

    Reading 0-3 Leeds United

    All Leeds, Leeds, Leeds in that first 45 minutes.

    Three goals and seemingly three points on their way to send them to the top of the Championship.

    This has not been a classic, but a lovely goal to break the deadlock.

    Atdhe Nuhiu feeds Barry Bannon who threads a wonderful ball through to Steven Fletcher and the striker finishes really well, lifting the ball over the diving goalkeeper from 15 yards out.

    Leeds in cruise control...

    This is a cracking goal to make it 3-0 and it's Pablo Hernandez with a second of the night.

    Patrick Bamford rolls it across to him from 25 yards out and he picks his spot magnificently with a right-foot strike across goal into the far left.

    Nothing Emiliano Martinez could do about that in Reading's goal.

    Sheff Wed fanImage source, Rex Features

    In case you are wondering, this game is still going on. We have around four minutes to go in the first half.

    Very little has happened - one half-decent chance for each side and a half-hearted penalty appeal for a handball from Bolton.

    Reading 0-2 Leeds United

    Leeds looking very comfortable after those two early goals in this 20:00 GMT kick-off.

    Closing stages of the first half and there's been little to threaten them as Yakou Meite snatches at a half-chance to square a ball into the danger area across the Leeds six-yard box.
