Shane Long is sniffing around for a debut Bournemouth goal but is first thwarted by a George Friend challenge before heading the resulting corner wide.

The on-loan Southampton striker hasn't been prolific in recent years but certainly knows how to lead the line.

Pinball in the Brentford box, somehow Britt Assombalonga cannot pick a spot either side of David Raya and he makes a point blank save.

Eventually it's hooked away but Boro roaring having come back out for the second period.

How has he missed that?!

The Terriers have brought on former Newcastle winger Rolando Aarons at the break, in place of Isaac Mbenza, as they look to get back into the game.

Luton have lost their past two but don't generally concede many goals.

There's plenty of rain falling across the country and those pitches are getting heavier and heavier.

Stand by for goalmouth scrambles, mistakes and the occasional piece of quality in the next 45 minutes.

Proper football!

We'll round up the best of it across the three divisions of the EFL very shortly.

Super save by Bees goalkeeper David Raya!

Britt Assombalonga is played in by Neeskens Kebano and belts it at goal but the Spaniard sprawls to claw away and still saves the rebound.

Boro almost in front.

It's been all Rovers so far, with a decent chance coming when Jacob Davenport's ball down the line meets Adam Armstrong who gets himself into the box and cuts it back for Harvey Elliott who shoots over the bar.

Looks like we'll be heading into the break with nothing to separate the two sides.

Full-back Dan Potts hits the post for Luton from a lovely Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu cross.

They've been the better side throughout - Huddersfield are on a wretched run and head coach Carlos Corberan must feel under a bit of pressure.

Viktor Johanssen makes himself a hero for Rotherham to retain the lead in denying Ched Evans, but the Preston man catches him and gets a booking for the challenge.

The goalkeeper knew a lot less about a super free-kick from Ben Whiteman which smacks a post, struck the Swede and then bounced out. Relief for the Millers.

Almost a second in six minutes for Bournemouth's Arnaut Danjuma.

The silky David Brooks crosses in and the Netherlands striker heads just wide.

The hosts look so much more confident since levelling.

A dangerous corner from Sam Clucas is flicked towards Danny Batth but the visitors manage to clear for another corner.

Steven Fletcher connects with the next one but heads it narrowly over from very close range.

Stoke are looking the more dominant side here now and it looks like it's only a matter of time before the deadlock is broken.

Gareth Ainsworth's Wycombe have been plugging away since falling behind.

Jordan Obita has fired a free-kick over and Uche Ikpeazu has seen a header ruled out for offside.

Sergi Canos nutmegged his man to win a free-kick for Brentford, though it looked a bit soft.

Up stepped Saman Ghoddos to whip one toward goal that forced Marcus Bettinelli beats away and Boro eventually clear.

Decent effort that.

Everton loanee Anthony Gordon is getting his eye in for Preston, he's had a couple of sighters now, and is getting closer...
