    Nottm Forest 2-0 Huddersfield

    Lewis Grabban has a sniff of a hat-trick!

    Once again Sammy Ameobi finds the striker and, from an acute angle, Grabban drags his effort wide of Jonas Lossl's far post.

    You certainly wouldn't bet against the Forest man scoring a third.

    Sammy Ameobi loses the ball in midfield and Emile Smith Rowe feeds Karlan Grant - who forces a decent save from Forest keeper Brice Samba.

    Joe Worrall then thumps out for a Huddersfield corner, which comes to nothing.

    Emile Smith Rowe and Trevoh Chalobah come on for Alex Pritchard and Jonathan Hogg as Danny Cowley looks to change the course of this game.

    Nottm Forest 2-0 Huddersfield

    Demeaco Duhaney goes on a run for the visitors and the ball breaks to Lewis O'Brien - whose shot is deflected wide.

    You get the feeling that Karlan Grant is going to have to do a Lewis Grabban if Huddersfield are to get back into this.

    Once Joe Lolley gets moving with the ball he's very tough to stop.

    The Forest wideman drifts inside and finds Sammy Ameobi, who fires just wide from 20 yards out.

    Another home goal would be curtains for Huddersfield.

    Huddersfield hit the bar!

    Andy King gets up ahead of Sammy Ameobi and flicks Alex Pritchard's corner onto the woodwork.

    A decent response here from the visitors.

    That goal came just 55 seconds into the second half - Danny Cowley will be tearing his hair out.

    Huddersfield had looked comfortable but a late first-half goal and another straight after the break means it's looking likely they'll be staying in the relegation zone for now.

    It's that man again to double Forest's advantage!

    One Sammy Ameobi through ball slices open the Huddersfield defence and Lewis Grabban makes it look like he has all the time in the world to pick his spot and slot past Jonas Lossl.

    He's a true poacher and now the hosts look well-placed to move up to fourth.

    We're back off and running.

    If Huddersfield can play as well as they did in the first half they'll be confident of getting something - but can they?

    Some of the cardboard cutout faces of 'fans' at the City Ground have caught our eye.

    You might say whoever sent this one in was a bit keen.

    And it's safe to say, Forest fans will be buzzing to see their side 1-0 up at the break.

    In today's early game Bristol City's fading Championship play-off hopes were dealt another blow as Sheffield Wednesday recorded a deserved victory at Ashton Gate.

    Connor Wickham headed the Owls in front after 13 minutes, directing Jacob Murphy's near-post corner past goalkeeper Niki Maenpaa when completely unmarked.

    Wednesday doubled their advantage from another set-piece on the hour mark, with Massimo Luongo this time hooking a shot in from close range.

    The hosts did reduce the deficit through Nahki Wells' header but remain five points off the top six, having lost both games since the season resumed.

    Saturday was a good day for a couple of the new faces in charge of struggling Championship sides.

    The wily Neil Warnock made a winning start as Middlesbrough manager, masterminding a fine away success at Stoke City, while Luton Town's Nathan Jones oversaw a rare away victory which meant he wasn't left thinking about a lazy summer barbecue.

    At the other end of the table, Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United took a giant stride towards promotion by beating rivals Fulham.

    Here's a glance through the main stories from the crucial second round of matches following the second tier's return after the enforced break because of the coronavirus pandemic.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:05 British Summer Time 28 June 2020

    Nottm Forest 1-0 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield will feel unfortunate to be behind but a bit of quality from Lewis Grabban sees Forest lead at half-time.

    Danny Cowley's Terriers were the more impressive team for much of that 45 minutes - without creating too many openings.

    Forest meanwhile were below-par but did hit the post through Sammy Ameobi before Grabban's emphatic goal.

    We're into three minutes of added time at the end of the first half.

    Ben Watson has been booked for Forest for a foul in midfield but his side look like going in ahead at the interval.

    A stunning volley from Lewis Grabban to put Forest ahead!

    The initial corner is cleared but in the second phase Joe Worrall crosses to the far post where Grabban is left unmarked to thump a volley past Jonas Lossl.

    The striker had been anonymous but that's his 18th goal of the season.

    Forest's Matty Cash and Huddersfield's Harry Toffolo have a little coming-together on the near touchline as the ball goes out.

    Cash wants a free-kick but doesn't get one, and the Terriers left-back thinks he made too much of it.

    Joe Lolley rolls the ball forward from a corner for Tiago Silva to cross into the box but Huddersfield do what's needed to clear.

    The hosts have showed nothing since Sammy Ameobi's early shot against the post.
