    League Two update

    Davis Kellior-Dunn has a second for Oldham at Boundary Park. Cambridge with much to do already.

    The game of the day in the division is on the Lancashire coast where Morecambe in fifth are hosting Newport in sixth.

    Two wins on the spin have given Newport some form and they lead through Matthew Dolan's penalty.

    Nottm Forest 0-0 Reading

    Both sides are getting balls into the box, but just can't get the finishing touch.

    Looks like an open affair at the City Ground.

    GOAL: Cardiff 1-1 Watfordpublished at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Nathaniel Chalobah (15 mins)

    Watford level straight away.

    It's a piece of real quality from one-time England international Nathaniel Chalobah, who controls a bobbling ball, makes some space for himself in the box and fires low into the bottom corner.

    This game is living up to its billing.

    GOAL: Bournemouth 0-1 Barnsleypublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Michal Helik (16 mins)

    Barnsley hit the front and it's from a set-piece.

    Bournemouth had packed the box with an eye on the threat but after the corner was curled in near-post, Mads Juel Andersen flicked to the back stick and it's an easy tap-in for Michal Helik.

    The run continues as it stands...

    Portsmouth 0-0 Salford City

    Fifteen minutes played at Wembley and again Salford City go close to opening the scoring.

    Brandon Thomas-Asante the latest to test Portsmouth goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray with a low right-foot shot across goal.

    MacGillivray makes a smart save with his outstretched right hand to keep the Ammies at bay.

    The Legue Two club looking the stronger of the two sides so far.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Barnsley

    There's no denying the brilliance of the job that Barnsley boss Valerien Ismael has done but it's a style which has drawn criticism from Birmingham and Derby in recent games.

    They are physical and direct. Dominik Frieser has a decent haul of a throw too.

    That approach won them a corner, which Alex Mowatt played low to the edge of the box but Conor Chaplin's low shot was blocked by the converging Cherries defence.

    Francisco Sierralta og (14 mins)

    Francisco Sierralta has slid the ball into his own net to put Cardiff ahead but you have to feel sorry for the Watford defender.

    Josh Murphy puts a low ball across goal and Sierralta has to intervene to prevent Kieffer Moore from having a tap-in.

    League One update

    Ipswich start the day a point outside the play-offs and are ahead at home to Plymouth through Troy Parrott.

    Accrington are also in that play-off shake-up but have fallen behind to Cameron Jerome's goal for Milton Keynes.

    Birmingham 0-0 Bristol City

    Scott Hogan gets on the end of Jeremie Bela's cross and hits the post for Birmingham.

    Aitor Karanka's Blues have been short of goals all season but they've started very brightly at St Andrew's.

    Nottm Forest 0-0 Reading

    Lucas Joao has had his first sighter of the afternoon for Reading, taking a pass from Michael Olise but skying the effort over Brice Samba's bar.

    The Royals are the side pushing at the moment.

    League Two update

    An early setback for Cambridge - a point off the top of the table at the start of the day - who have gone behind to Davis Kellior-Dunn's third minute goal for Oldham.

    Just three wins in their last eight games for the U's.

    League leaders Cheltenham have gone down the M5 to Exeter today while third place Forest Green - also only a point adrift - are at home to Harrogate.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Barnsley

    Bournemouth get into the left channel of the Barnsley box with a surge from Dominic Solanke but his dinked cross into the middle is gathered simply by Brad Collins.

    Nice ball over the top but felt like that should have been more decisive.

    WembleyImage source, Rex Features

    Early stages at Wembley where James Wilson has gone close for Salford City with the first real chance of this delayed 2020 Papa John's Trophy final.

    Found some space to run into on the edge of the box before a decent hit on his right foot that Portsmouth goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray palmed away to his left for a corner.

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:07 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Wycombe 0-0 Preston

    Ryan Tafazolli is getting his head to everything for Wycombe.

    First the centre-back heads a corner just wide and then moments later he sees another header tipped over by Daniel Iversen.

    Preston need to wake up.

    QPR 0-0 Huddersfield

    Lewis O'Brien gets an early sight of goal, rapping a shot which forces Seny Dieng into a save. Huddersfield probing.

    Issac Mbenza goes close for the visitors shortly after, whizzing his shot wide of the left post. Just.

  17. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:05 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Stoke

    Early chance for Stoke, as Jacob Brown's cross almost deceives Marcus Bettinelli and strikes the post.

    Didn't take long for some action at the Riverside.

    Cardiff 0-0 Watford

    Mick McCarthy's Cardiff are quick out of the traps.

    In-form striker Kieffer Moore gets to Harry Wilson's corner but heads over.

    These two teams are bang in form so we're expecting a good arm wrestle.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Barnsley

    Bournemouth was bathed in sunshine as the teams warmed up for kick-off but the rain started tumbling as the two sides came out for the real deal.

    Both coaches are tucked up in coats. Spring might be here but it's still a bit cool under the stands.

    Barnsley are decked in an unmissable bright yellow - it screams danger. What with the Tykes' recent form, you can't say the Cherries haven't been warned...

    Here we go then.

    They're off and running in our eight Championship matches and also at an empty Wembley, where an out-of-form Portsmouth will look to avoid a shock against League Two Salford in the Papa John's Trophy final.
