    League Two latest

    There's been a tremendous amount of overhaul at Bolton but at the moment it's a frustrating time for the Trotters in League Two.

    Tristan Abrahams has left them a goal down after Newport take the lead at the University of Bolton Stadium...

    Meanwhile, Morecambe have levelled at Roots Hall to make it 1-1 against Southend.

    Barrow too, are back in the game thanks to Mike Jones' effort from outside the box to draw level with Colchester United.

    Millwall 1-1 Brentford

    Good start to the second half from Millwall but it's Brentford who have just had a great chance to take the lead through Christian Norgaard.

    The midfielder glances a header from a corner just inches wide.

    Stoke have hit the ground running against 10-man Preston as they look to pad out their lead.

    Tommy Smith sends in a lovely cross towards the onrushing Lee Gregory but the Stoke man can't quite work onto the ball in time to score his second.

    Cardiff 0-1 Reading

    Will Vaulks comes a tip of a ruler's length away from squaring things up for Cardiff.

    Had a crack from the edge of the box, but it zips just wide.

    Derby 0-3 Blackburn

    A change at the break for Derby as Jack Marriott comes off with George Evans coming on in his place.

    A defensive change, is Phillip Cocu trying to stem the flow of Blackburn goals? Or will Wayne Rooney be pushed a bit further forward?

    Cardiff 0-1 Reading

    Goals by centre-backs called Morrison at Cardiff City Stadium have become pretty commonplace in recent seasons.

    But rather than Cardiff captain Sean Morrison, it's Reading's Michael Morrison who has headed in.

    The Bluebirds pride themselves on their set-pieces - in attack and defence - so Neil Harris will be disappointed to see his side concede that way.

    But what about Reading? Could they be on their way to a third win from three Championship matches?

    Michael Morrison (47 mins)

    Towering header from Michael Morrison who has scored his third goal for Reading following his move from Birmingham.

    Brilliant curling ball in from Michael Olise too, such a wicked swerve on it.

    Cardiff yet to win at home this season, albeit one and a bit games in. Reading, meanwhile, are on course to extend their 100% league start.

    QPR 1-1 Middlesbrough

    Boro midfielder George Saville gets himself in the way of an effort from Luke Amos, a block which appeared to be made with his face.

    Rangers wanted a penalty... nothing doing for ref Dean Whitestone.

    The earlier injuries to Ilias Chair and George Thomas have brought us five minutes added time.

    Derby 0-3 Blackburn

    Can Derby get back into this game before the break or are Blackburn coasting with their three-goal lead?

    Wayne Rooney tries to work a goal back for the Rams but he finds his effort blocked.

    Cardiff 0-0 Reading

    Lucas Joao goes close for Reading at Cardiff, forcing a big stretch from goalkeeper Alex Smithies to keep scores level.

    The Royals have had some opportunities, with Joao heading wide a little while before that attempt.

    Half-time looms and it's a better game than the scoreline suggests.

    Millwall 1-1 Brentford

    After a bit of dominance from Brentford it's Millwall who almost take the lead again.

    Mahlon Romeo tries his luck from a difficult angle with a thunderous shot but it crashes off the post.

    He's unlucky not to score there.
