Thanks Adam.

And here I am to finish the job that my esteemed colleagues have started, I arrive to see you through today's final fixture in a crowded Good Friday.

Birmingham City and Swansea City, let's be having you.

Anyhow, you know what, there's still time for yet more Championship action on this Good Friday.

We're off to the Second City for the evening kick-off between Birmingham City and Swansea City.

Jay Freeman will be on hand to bring you all the build-up and action from St Andrew's as well as a bit more reaction from the earlier games.

Take it away Jay....

So Reading go back up to sixth after they were briefly pushed down to seventh by Bournemouth's win earlier.

Barnsley stay fifth.

It could've been the other way round had Lucas Joao somehow not missed that glorious chance for Reading...

It finishes all square.

Ovie Ejaraia's first-half strike cancelled out by Alex Mowatt's penalty.

Two minutes being added on at the end of this game....

It was such a melee just then from the Barnsley corner that it might not have actually crossed the line!

Again, really hard to tell what exactly the referee adjudged was a foul there.

Liam Moore with a crucial block to deflect the ball behind for a Barnsley corner.

Dominik Frieser sent a ball in to the near post towards Daryl Dike but the Reading skipper makes a telling intervention.

Corner follows and the ball is in the back of the net from yet another goalmouth scramble but the referee decides he's seen a foul of some sort there from a Barnsley player.

Hard to tell what exactly he saw to be honest.

Last five minutes...

Who's got the nerve to find a winner or are these two play-off contenders actually going to be content with a point?

Michael Olise makes way for Reading and Alfa Semedo takes his place in midfield.

Barnsley keep on pushing as we move into the alast 10 minutes.

Alex Mowatt again pinging in dangerous balls, this time for Callum Styles to poke back across goal, but there's nobody there in a red short to race on for the finish.

Another corner is then headed over as Reading look a bit out of sorts.

Off the post!

Barnsley now go within inches of taking the lead.

Big looping free-kick from Alex Mowatt sent into the Reading area to cause some havoc and it works as Rafael can't cling on to the high ball.

There's a right old scramble that follows and then as it's sent goalwards, it hits the base of the post from Mads Anderson's effort and somehow bounces clear of danger.

Well, well...

How much is Lucas Joao kicking himself for missing that sitter a few moments ago?

Feels like there is another goal in this game if someone can show some composure.

A chance at the other end now for Barnsley....

Callum Styles finds the ball breaking to him in space to hit a half-volley from just inside the area, but he flashes it harmlessly over the crossbar.

Oh no! Is this the miss of the season from Lucas Joao?!

Barnsley made a right mess of an attempt to play out from the back.

Yakou Meite had hung around in the Barnsley area to out-muscle Brad Collins and laid it off for Joao to seemingly just roll into the empty net, but somehow he hits it wide!

Inside the last 20 minutes.

As it stands, Reading will return to sixth and Barnsley stay fifth a couple of points ahead of them.

Both these sides back in action again on Monday as the crucial games continue to come thick and fast.

Aapo Halme is the latest to go in the book as he tugs at the shirt of Josh Laurent as he tries to sprint clear down the left for Reading.

Still very spicy this one.

Rafael again under severe pressure in Reading's goal from Barnsley's corners.

Callum Styles hangs another tricky one right under he crossbar that he has to haul away with his arm.

Cagey old affair this one now as the tasty challenges continue to go in.

Both managers also having their say on the touchline with the fourth official about various issues.

Could go either way.

Chance here for the hosts to draw level.

Andy Yiadom hauls down Callum Styles in the area.

Geoff Eltrincham points to the spot almost immediately as he gives the penalty.
