Walsall may have received stern words at the break after shipping two goals in seven minutes at the end of the first half.

But Jake Scrimshaw has got a goal back against Port Vale.

Game of the day is at The Lawn where Forest Green v Crewe represents fourth v second.

Crewe are looking for a fourth-straight victory but are yet to break the deadlock in Gloucestershire.

Good save from home goalkeeper Joe Bursik to deny Blackburn striker Adam Armstrong.

When it rains, it pours is the saying when things aren't going well, and it's raining both metaphorically and physically for Reading at the Brentford Community Stadium.

It's rattling down onto the roof, some soggy figures out there on the pitch. No change to the score.

Right. Games kicking off for the second-half around the grounds.

Rain tumbling about a bit in places too.

The goals haven't been particularly spread out so far in the Championship.

Clusters at Brentford, Huddersfield and Birmingham aside, it's hardly been goalmania.

Plenty of time for it to change.

How has your team fared?

We'll sum up the main stories from the opening 45.

Newport were pegged back at Rodney Parade but Scot Bennett restores their lead over Oldham just before the break.

Cheltenham, who began the day in third after losing in midweek, have fallen behind to a Scott Quigley penalty at Barrow.

Tom Conlon has doubled Port Vale's lead at Walsall.

Another own-goal at Leyton Orient where Tom Dallison has scored at the wrong end to bring the home side level with Crawley.

And Bradford, who snapped a five-match losing streak with a draw at Crawley on Tuesday, lead at home to Cambridge via Harry Pritchard.

Adebayo Akinfenwa heads over as the hosts look for an equaliser.

Akinfenwa is still searching for his first goal of the season.

Charlton might still have been dizzy after navigating the magic roundabout as they fell behind to lowly Swindon.

But Omar Bogle has found a quick leveller in Wiltshire.

Another chance for Wednesday, Josh Windass has it again but cannot find the net.

Pinged wide from the edge of the box. Dour fare.

Tyler Walker has limped off for Coventry too.

Walsall have reeled off three wins on the spin but they've fallen behind to Port Vale, who make the short trip down the M5 today.

Tom Pope has put Vale in front.

Big save from Asmir Begovic, getting to Danny Hylton's effort to keep the score goalless.

Another warning shot for Bournemouth, from a spirited Luton side. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall the creator again.

Philip Billing reminds us that Bournemouth have made the trip to Bedfordshire this afternoon, blasting over the top after making inroads into the Luton defence.

Forest fashion a chance worthy of the word in a fairly niggly game at the Den, Sammy Ameobi slipping in Ryan Yates, but Bartosz Bialkowski makes the save.
