Jefferson Lerma plays Dominic Solanke in but the Bournemouth striker's second touch is heavy and Matt Clarke does really well to get across and shepherd the ball behind.

Bournemouth have Jack Wilshere on the bench after the midfielder's arrival yesterday and I'm expecting to see him sooner rather than later in this game.

The Cherries have scarcely put their foot on the ball and created anything all evening so far.

Lucas Joao should have his second of the night as he gets on the end of a Tom Holmes cross.

However, luckily for Coventry, the Reading goalscorer fires wide this time.

Derby are really enjoying themselves just now and moving the ball around with some real intent.

Victory tonight will move them three points clear of the bottom three.

Coventry win another corner, but can they make it count? Well, not really, is the answer.

Following the corner, a succession of crosses come into the Reading box before the visitors are eventually flagged offside.

The Cherries have been rattled by that Derby goal and they need to make sure they don't fall further behind before the break.

A Rams free-kick is half-cleared to Jason Knight on the edge of the area but his effort is very wide.

The tempo of this match has calmed down somewhat after a pretty exciting half an hour at the Madejski Stadium.

Reading will be pleased with their lead but Coventry have kept pressing and aren't out of this just yet.

Great chance for Derby!

Krystian Bielik sends through a great pass for Lee Buchanan to get behind the Cherries defence but Asmir Begovic is off his line to deny him.

Moments later Kamil Jozwiak wins a corner as Steve Cook charges down his effort.

Better.

Tom Holmes goes into the book for a rash challenge on Jordan Shipley and the Reading man is incensed but replays show it's the right decision.

Coventry win a free-kick for their troubles which sails into the Reading box before the hosts win the ball back soon after.

Derby are the division's low scorers with just 14 so far this season.

It's not too hard to see why that is on this showing.

You'd imagine boss Wayne Rooney will be looking through his book of contacts for a striker this month.

So close to 2-0 to Reading and somehow they've not hit the target.

Ovie Ejaria weaves his way through the Coventry back line as if the ball is glued to his feet.

He unleashes a low shot that cannons off the left-hand upright and Coventry just about clear their lines.

Coventry win their second corner of the evening as they look to press for an equaliser.

Reading, however, have other ideas and mark their opponents into losing the ball.

The visitors then win the ball back and Gus Hamer tries his luck from range but his shot is blocked.

The game's just gone off the boil after an exciting first 10 minutes.

Both teams guilty of coughing up possession a little easily.

The wind is playing its part here tonight just as much as the rain but has that Reading goal blown the wind out of Coventry's sails?

The Sky Blues started this game well, but find themselves a goal down as we head for the midway stage of the opening period.

Reading have taken the lead for the 12th time this season. Can they see this game through?

Krystian Bielik is on his feet and walking over to the sideline, which is a good sign.

The Derby midfielder looks ok but I think he might need a stitch or two after that clash of heads with Jefferson Lerma.

The game restarts with Bielik off the pitch for the time being.

Bit of concern here as Krystian Bielik is down and needing treatment after a clash of heads with Bournemouth's Jefferson Lerma.

Hopefully the Pole is ok.

We're already under way in the game between Hull City and Accrington where Mallik Wilks has just given the hosts the lead.

As it stands the Tigers will overtake leaders Lincoln, whose game against Gillingham was called off earlier, and go top.

Here's a run down of all of today's third tier games, all of which kick off at 19:00 GMT unless stated.

• Hull City 1-0 Accrington Stanley
• Peterborough United v Charlton Athletic (18:30 GMT)

• Crewe Alexandra v Bristol Rovers
• Doncaster Rovers v Rochdale

• Milton Keynes Dons v Fleetwood Town
• Portsmouth v AFC Wimbledon
• Sunderland v Plymouth Argyle

The rain is bucketing it down at the Madejski Stadium now and there's a fair wind blowing, too.

It's a case of playing the conditions at this stage as Coventry win a corner which is played short and a Sam McCallum cross is headed wide by Leo Ostigard.

The visitors should be ahead, here.
