    Luton 1-0 Millwall

    Gary Rowett makes a double change and Millwall shift to a back four as they look for a way back into this one.

    Big target man Matt Smith is one of those on, with Tom Bradshaw making way.

    Rotherham 0-0 Nottm Forest

    Forest have been much more dominant in the second half, with Luke Freeman starting to pull the strings in midfield, with Anthony Knockaert.

    Cyrus Christie has been useful outlet down the right as well.

    Michael Olosunde has shrugged off a painful looking eye problem to give Forest problems down the right in reply.

    We have a breakthrough.

    On his first Luton start Elijah Adebayo scores at the back post to put them ahead.

    The former Walsall striker doesn't get the cleanest contact but it wrongfoots Millwall keeper Bartosz Bialkowski and the ball sneaks over the line.

    Rotherham 0-0 Nottm Forest

    Forest will want to prepare for Friday's derby against Derby with a decent result under their belt, especially as the Rams have won tonight at home to Huddersfield.

    They say form goes out of the window in those rivalries but confidence will be key.

    Another set piece comes their way, Anthony Knockaert curls left-footed into the box from 30 yards out on the left and Glenn Murray connected again - but Viktor Johansson palms it away.

    The flag went up anyway but how well is Viktor Johansson playing tonight? Superb.

  5. ouch!

    Luton 0-0 Millwall

    Luton's Ryan Tunnicliffe is very late on Ben Thompson and is promptly booked.

    Some Millwall players suggest it could have been a red - it was certainly a nasty challenge.

  6. FULL-TIMEpublished at 20:57 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Middlesbrough 1-3 Bristol City

    Bristol City win for the first time in seven Championship games in front of the watching new boss Nigel Pearson.

    Famara Diedhiou scored twice with the other goal from Nahki Wells in a first-half of ruthlessness up top.

    Boro had plenty of chances and possession but it was not until the end where they finally cracked the nut with Dael Fry's consolation.

  7. FULL-TIMEpublished at 20:56 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Birmingham 1-3 Norwich

    Norwich didn't have it all their own way but the leaders are now 10 points clear.

    Two Teemu Pukki goals - either side of a saved penalty - and Oliver Skipp's late breakaway goal proved enough.

    Birmingham made it 1-1 through Ivan Sanchez but will feel hard done by to get nothing despite a decent display.

  8. Postpublished at 20:55 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Rotherham 0-0 Nottm Forest

    Scare for Rotherham as Ben Wiles runs himself into a cul-de-sac of Forest attackers on the edge of the box and is robbed.

    Forest put the ball in the net through Filip Krovinovic but the goal is ruled out for a foul on Wiles. There was contact.

    GOAL: Birmingham 1-3 Norwichpublished at 20:54 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Oliver Skipp (90+5 mins)

    A breakaway goal for Norwich seals the points.

    Lukas Rupp is through on goal and unselfishly passes for Oliver Skipp to roll in.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Wycombe 1-0 Readingpublished at 20:53 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Fred Onyedinma (48 mins)

    It's a goalmouth scramble from a Wycombe corner and the ball seems to go in off Fred Onyedinma.

    The league's bottom side are ahead and have something to hold on to.

  11. Late winners?published at 20:53 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    #bbcefl

    Some drama to report in League Two - and both involving Cumbrian clubs with contrasting fortunes.

    For Carlisle, a game in which they have led twice is now slipping away from them as James Vaughan has put Tranmere 3-2 in front in the 88th minute.

    But for Barrow, who sacked manager Michael Jolley on Sunday, there could be a welcome boost in their bid to avoid relegation as Scott Quigley has given them a last-minute lead at Oldham.

  12. FULL-TIMEpublished at 20:53 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Derby 2-0 Huddersfield

    Six wins in eight now for Wayne Rooney's Rams as goals from George Edmundson and Martyn Waghorn give them another jolt up the table.

    Huddersfield never quite created enough to trouble them.

    Middlesbrough 1-3 Bristol City

    Middlesbrough have had 15 shots on goal now. Sam Morsy the latest to let one go from the edge of the box but it veers awkwardly wide.

    Five additional minutes.

  14. Second halfpublished at 20:50 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Tuesday's EFL action

    All three of our 19:45 GMT games in the Championship were goalless at the break.

    Let's hope for plenty more excitement as the second half starts in those matches.

    Our three early games, meanwhile, are in the closing minutes...

  15. INJURY TIMEpublished at 20:50 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Birmingham 1-2 Norwich

    We're into four minutes of added time at St Andrew's.

    Norwich have been nowhere near their best but they say it's a mark of champions to eek out victories.

  16. Postpublished at 20:50 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Derby 2-0 Huddersfield

    Martyn Waghorn thuds a free-kick which prompts Ryan Schofield in the Huddersfield goal to beat away.

    Derby chasing a third to bolster the goal difference now.

  17. RED CARDpublished at 20:49 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Derby 2-0 Huddersfield

    Jaden Brown gets a second yellow for cutting down Derby's Jason Knight and the Huddersfield man is off.

    That's it surely now.

    Middlesbrough 1-3 Bristol City

    Sam Morsy cracks a shot which spoons up and goes behind for a Boro corner.

    It's cleared.

    Bristol City having to hang on right now. Though they do have a two-goal cushion.

  19. Postpublished at 20:44 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Derby 2-0 Huddersfield

    Derby living slightly dangerously as Huddersfield pump ball after ball into the box, forcing some desperate rearguard responses.

    Only six minutes remain all the same...

  20. Rapid start for Poshpublished at 20:43 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    #bbcefl

    Peterborough clearly didn't like being goalless at Plymouth at half-time - it took them only 18 seconds after the restart to take the lead through Sammy Szmodic's close-range strike.

    Posh could be going top of League One this evening.

    There's also a reason for Joey Barton to be cheerful - Luke McCormick has curled Bristol Rovers level against Wigan.
