    Bristol City 0-0 Rotherham

    Neither side have had a decent enough chance to go ahead at Ashton Gate so far.

    The hosts manage to deliver a cross towards the six-yard box, but Rotherham skipper Richard Wood gets a foot to the ball and clears it, before Nahki Wells fires a free kick over.

    Still goalless.

    Preston 0-0 Luton

    Preston win themselves a corner and Ryan Ledson's delivery is nodded over by centre-back Sepp van den Berg.

    Not much has happened in open play, so set-plays could prove important.

  4. League One latestpublished at 15:25 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Nigel Adkins is taking charge of Charlton for the first time today and his side are 2-1 up at AFC Wimbledon - Diallang Jaiyesimi putting the Addicks back in front.

    Accrington have come from behind to lead Wigan 2-1, and Doncaster have just levelled things at Gillingham through James Coppinger. 2-2 there in just the 23rd minute.

    Elsewhere, MK Dons, Swindon, Blackpool, Plymouth and Peterborough are all leading.

    LOADS of goals in the third tier!

    Barnsley 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Sheffield Wednesday really should be ahead here and Barnsley have been given a let off.

    Jordan Rhodes picks up the ball and sends an effort in on goal first time after Barnsley keeper Brad Collins missed a clearance, but Rhodes puts his effort wide with acres of space to pick his shot.

    Watford 1-0 Birmingham

    Watford bossing this game now and they almost come close to a second against Birmingham.

    Ken Sema, who had given the Hornets the lead earlier on, puts a corner into the box and Adam Masina taps wide of the mark at the far post.

    Stoke 0-0 Derby

    Now it's Stoke's turn to weather the storm of a flurry of Derby deliveries into the area.

    Nathan Byrne gets the ball towards his Rams team-mate Patrick Roberts who cuts in side and shoots but Stoke manage to deal with the danger.

  8. CLOSE!published at 15:20 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Norwich 0-0 Blackburn

    Norwich are on the ropes!

    Joe Rankin-Costello puts in a lovely cross and only a scrambled Grant Hanley clearance prevents Tyrhys Dolan from tapping in the opener.

  9. League Two latestpublished at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    A couple of games are already done in the division - Leyton Orient won 1-0 at play-off chasing Newport and Stevenage comfortably saw off Carlisle 3-1.

    In the 15:00 GMT kick-offs, Barrow's fine form continues - they're 1-0 up against Crawley and could pull even further away from the drop zone.

    Leaders Cheltenham are a goal up against Salford, and Morecambe lead at Harrogate.

    Norwich 0-0 Blackburn

    Fair play to Tony Mowbray's Blackburn - they've come out fighting at Carrow Road.

    They're hassling and harrying the league leaders, not allowing them to settle on the ball at all.

    Whether they can keep this pace up is another matter...

    Stoke 0-0 Derby

    Still goalless in the first few moments of this match, with Derby really needing a decent result against Stoke today.

    The hosts work the ball upfield and force a succession of clearances, first from Andre Wisdom and then again by Teden Mengi.

    It's all Stoke so far but nothing to show for it.

    Reading 0-0 QPR

    A nervy moment for QPR just now, after a decent cross comes in and Lucas Joao gets in behind and tries his luck, but Rob Dickie is there to block his chance.

    The visitors had a chance of their own through Charlie Austin, who's ready and waiting on the edge of the area to get on the end of a short corner, but he strikes wide of the goal.

    Preston 0-0 Luton

    It's been a very low-key start at Deepdale.

    Other than a Sepp van den Berg foul throw, all I have in my notes is an Elijah Adebayo half-chance for Luton - his left-footed shot is deflected behind for a corner.

    Barnsley 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Daryl Dike is the man of the moment at Barnsley and he's making the difference for the hosts against Sheffield Wednesday already.

    He turns and beats his marker, puts in a cross towards goal and Joe Wildsmith, who is a late change for the visitors in goal for the Owls, almost plays through Cauley Woodrow.

    Frantic!

    Millwall 0-0 Middlesbrough

    First chance in this game goes to Millwall as they test Middlesbrough with a scappy play.

    Mason Bennett links up with Jed Wallace and works his way into a shot which is well saved by Boro keeper Marcus Bettinelli.

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:10 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Coventry 0-0 Wycombe

    Wycombe defender Anthony Stewart makes an error and Max Biamou runs through on goal, but visiting keeper David Stockdale makes himself big and saves from the Coventry striker.

    It's those kind of mistakes that have put Gareth Ainsworth's Chairboys in this perilous position at the bottom.

    Portsmouth have just beaten Ipswich in Danny Cowley's first game in charge. Goals from Tom Naylor and Marcus Harness saw Pompey come from behind to win at Fratton Park.

    In the 15:00 GMT games, plenty of early goals about.

    Wigan went in front at Accrington in the first minute, but Accy have levelled things already.

    Play-off chasing Gillingham are 2-0 up already against Doncaster, while Peterborough and Swindon also lead in the division.

    Bristol City 0-0 Rotherham

    An early chance for Bristol City, as Kasey Palmer's free-kick ricochets off the wall and lands at the feet of Liam Walsh, but he volleys over.

    Norwich 0-0 Blackburn

    Runaway leaders Norwich hit the outside of the post - it would've been a lucky one.

    Todd Cantwell's shot took a deflection before striking the woodwork.

    Watford celebrateImage source, Rex Features

    Watford are off the mark inside the opening five minutes against Birmingham and it's come with quite some ease for the hosts.

    Joao Pedro tries his luck with a shot from outside the box which Blues keeper Neil Etheridge parries away into the path of Ken Sema who slots in from close range.

    The Hornets wasting no time in capitalising on Brentford's draw against Nottingham Forest.
