Thank you Matt,

Right then, as mentioned, plenty more action on the way and let's bring you some build-up...

Well, that was lively.

But it's only the start of it.

It's a fitting time then to bring in Adam Williams and Joe Rindl, as we bring you the 15:00 GMT kick-offs from around the Championship and the best of Leagues One and Two.

Birmingham have broken the losing streak that left them worrying about relegation.

They have won on Teesside for only the second time in 41 years.

Really impressive display for the Blues then, Mikel San Jose and George Friend were superb at the back, Maikel Kieftenbeld ensured midfield supremacy and Jeremie Bela ran himself into the ground and Scott Hogan got the key goal.

Middlesbrough showed plenty of heart and improvement after the break. But despite throwing plenty at the Blues, they were kept at bay. Sam Morsy's header the best they enjoyed, bouncing off the woodwork and out.

Birmingham end a seven-game losing run in all competitions with a big victory at Middlesbrough - Aitor Karanka's old club and familiar territory.

Scott Hogan's first-half goal is enough. Really impressive, composed performance in attack and defence.

Boro looked tired. Maybe their Covid-19 issues took their toll. Their training ground was shut for 10 days. They lacked their usual energy.

Marc Bola gets down the left but his cross shanks to the edge of the box and Blues clear.

Boro disappointing at times with clinical, crucial passes.

Birmingham hoping to see add another in this three minutes of added time, but Ivan Sanchez's cross is overhit.

Middlesbrough doing everything they can to get at Birmingham, but big defensive work from George Friend - a former Boro stalwart - keeps them at bay.

Big tackles, interventions, touches. He's grafted.

Now Adam Clayton is on for Jeremie Bela. No beard dye today.

First half Birmingham were really positive, and second they've done a great job to contain and quell Middlesbrough.

The home side keep forcing the issue. Mikel San Jose makes sure with a clearance.

Jeremie Bela almost fashions a chance but Jonny Howson intervenes.

Middlesbrough flood forward but when caught on the break are short of cover.

Birmingham snaffle the ball in midfield, but then lose it, and only Mikel San Jose trailing leg stops the ball sliding through to Duncan Watmore.

Neil Etheridge beats away the corner, Djed Spence reloads, and again the Blues goalkeeper claims. Big presence.

Middlesbrough being pinned back as Blues seek to end the contest with pressure.

Corner swings in from the left, but a straining Lukas Jutkiewicz has to stretch to meet it and it sails away to safety.

Maikel Kieftenbeld with some Zinedine Zidane-style midfield poise, twice lifting the ball over the head of a converging Boro foe.

Slick. Birmingham get a free-kick in the Boro half.

Overhit by Ivan Sanchez. Mikel San Jose swings in a cross from the right. George Saville guides it away from the near post.

Mikel San Jose has put up more up and unders than Andy Gregory in the past 20 minutes...

Proper launching them from the back.

Harlee Dean curls a cross to the back post, and Lukas Jutkiewicz tries to get his head on it but goes down under Marc Bola's challenge.

No penalty says referee Darren England. Could have had that. "You've seen them given," is the old adage.

Birmingham have conceded a joint-worst 12 goals in the last 15 minutes of games in the Championship.

Boro continue to probe and press.

Britt Assombalonga wriggled away for the Teessiders but it was a big tackle by Marc Roberts... got the foot in to sneak the ball away.

Duncan Watmore gets into the box left side, and lets fly! Saved by Neil Etheridge... hit with the outside of his foot.

The ball bounces but Etheridge punches away.

Now Scott Hogan is off and Lukas Jutkiewicz is on.

Hayden Coulson replaces Marcus Tavernier.

Big 'Lukey Juke' being prepared for Birmingham.

He's familiar to Boro fans as a hard-working centre forward, puts himself about.

Big threat and might keep the ball up top.

Maikel Kieftenbeld snaps into a challenge in midfield and Blues break, Jeremie Bela pours forward.

Ivan Sanchez picks it up, drifts infield and releases a shot but it's blocked by George Saville who was like a rash to him.

Smothering.

Birmingham have done well at times to keep the ball in Middlesbrough's half as Neil Warnock is trying to get his side to throw the kitchen sink at them.

George Friend gets a throw down in Boro's right-back position, and then wins a corner.

Ivan Sanchez belts it in, but it trails out.

Britt Assombalonga sets off on a counter but Ivan Sunjic delivers a tactically-cynical challenge to stop him. Yellow card.

Lovely play by Middlesbrough.

Their turn to knock the ball about, then Jonny Howson lofts a ball down the middle which Duncan Watmore tracks into the box, but his cross is blocked.

The brains and craft of Howson a real weapon.
