    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    Matty James hits the free-kick straight into the wall.

    The ball is hooked back into the area and Viktor Johansson races off his line but loses out to Tyler Walker.

    Walker can't quite get his feet for the bouncing ball and slashes it into the stand.

    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    Some Coventry pressure.

    Sam McCallum hurls a flat throw in to the area that causes some problems and leads to a Sky Blues corner.

    Millers goalkeeper Viktor Johansson takes evasive action from the set piece and punches it clear.

    The hosts have made a bright start to this half but Wes Harding's clipped ball is over the head of Michael Smith in the middle.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 47 mins

    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    Rotherham midfielder Lewis Wing stops Matty James from breaking away in a very cynical fashion and that's the game's first yellow card.

    So this is the end of the Championship midweek games (kind of) and the weekend starts tomorrow.

    Struggling Derby will have one eye on tonight's game at the New York Stadium and they travel to out-of-sorts Blackburn on Friday in need of points.

    Reading are in need of points for another reason as they look to climb back into the play-off picture.

    They host a Cardiff side whose top six hopes are all-but over.

    Both games kick off at 18:00 BST and you can join us for build up to them from 17:45 BST.

    Jeff Gurr: Viktor Johansson has the look of a very good keeper.

    The Leicester loanee definitely impressed in that first half Jeff. Made some outstanding saves to keep Rotherham all square.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 19:51 British Summer Time 15 April 2021

    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    Somehow it's goalless at the break.

    Rotherham goalkeeper Viktor Johnasson has made two brilliant saves to deny Liam Kelly and Tyler Walker, while at the other end Lewis Wing saw an effort come back off the inside of the post.

    Coventry have had the better of it so far and boss Mark Robins will feel they should have the goal to reflect that.

    The next 45 minutes of this one could have a massive say in how the bottom three in the Championship end up looking.

    Into two minutes of time added on at the end of this half.

  12. Postpublished at 40 mins

    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    Lewis Wing sends in a free-kick from the Rotherham right that Michael Ihiekwe can't guide on target.

    Both teams are a real threat from set pieces.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 36 mins

    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    Viktor Johnasson in the Rotherham goal is having some night!

    A Sam McCallum long throw is flicked to the back post where Tyler Walker heads for goal only for the Swede to throw out a left arm and turn it around for a corner.

    Walker maybe should score but brilliant goalkeeping nonetheless.

    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    Wes Harding hurls a long throw in for the hosts from the left.

    It comes to nothing but certainly one to keep an eye on, especially given Coventry have Sam McCallum sending in long throws for them at the other end.

  15. Postpublished at 30 mins

    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    Matty Godden smashes a snapshot over the Rotherham crossbar from the edge of the area.

    He'll be looking to make amends after missing a great chance to give them the lead a few minutes ago.

  16. Postpublished at 26 mins

    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    Coventry striker Tyler Walker gets in down the inside left and tries to fire a low cross in for strike partner Matty Godden but it has a bit too much pace on it and goes behind.

    Some tempo to this game just at the moment.

    Lewis Wing smashes an effort against the Coventry upright from nothing!

    The Rotherham midfielder's initial corner is cleared out to him and he thumps the rebound back in towards goal only to be denied by the post.

    It would have been some strike.

    Coventry have the worst away record in the Championship but their performance so far this evening is making a real mockery of that.

    It's been a great start from the visitors that's just missing the goal their dominance merits.

    Rotherham on the other hand look like a team that know just how important this game is.

  19. Postpublished at 17 mins

    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    Coventry win a third free-kick down their left that Matty James swings in.

    Sky Blues captain Liam Kelly thinks it's touched a Millers player so lets it run out of play but the assistant down that side disagrees and gives a goal-kick to the hosts, much to Kelly's displeasure.

    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    It's ALL Coventry at the moment.

    They win the game's first corner down their right but it comes to nothing on this occasion.

    Rotherham, who were in action less than 48 hours ago, are having to weather a real storm just now.

    Millers goalkeeper Viktor Johnasson, who has made two brilliant saves already, is just getting some treatment. They'll hope they can patch him up and keep him out there.
