Barnsley centre-back Liam Kitching gets a deserved yellow for dragging Albert Adomah down to the ground.

Adomah had got the better of the defender and was advancing towards the box from the right wing.

Second chance for Barnsley, as Devante Cole replaces Clarke Oduor in their forward line.

Rangers have certainly improved since the restart.

The hosts have managed to get through the Barnsley press far more often, with the visitors playing with a touch less intensity.

Another chance falls the way of Charlie Austin, but he skews his right-footed shot wide from the edge of the area.

Charlie Austin flashes a shot at goal from just over 20 yards out, but it's over the Barnsley bar.

Moments earlier Cauley Woodrow tried his luck from distance, but R's keeper Seny Dieng was firmly behind his effort.

QPR are starting to improve, and Charlie Austin gets on the end of a cross from Ilias Chair.

Chair was forced to the byline and Austin can only head up in the air and across goal, so it's a fairly straightforward gather for visiting keeper Bradley Collins.

QPR press forward, but can't manage to get a shot in on goal as the Barnsley defence closes down the man on the ball just outside the box.

The ball is spread wide for Albert Adomah to cross - but the offside flag is up.

Barnsley make their first change of the afternoon as Jasper Moon comes on for Romal Palmer.

Oh so close for QPR!

Jimmy Dunne nods narrowly wide at the far post from a Stefan Johansen corner.

That's the hosts' best chance of the game so far.

Tensions boil over momentarily as Callum Styles cynically trips Stefan Johansen while the QPR skipper looks to lead a counter-attack from a Tykes corner.

Rangers players really took exception to that challenge just inside the Rangers half, and Yoann Barbet gets shown yellow for his reaction.

At the other end, Rangers keeper Seny Dieng has to be alert to tip an inswinging corner from the left wing over his bar.

Yoann Barbet then clears the ball in from the resulting corner from in front of Dominik Frieser.

The game continues to be largely played in the QPR half.

An error by Liam Kitching presents Albert Adomah with the chance to play in a team-mate, but Tykes keeper Bradley Collins races off his line to snuff out the danger.

Barnsley midfielder Josh Benson gets the first yellow card of the game for having a nibble at Albert Adomah as the QPR man looked to mount an attack.

After a 1-0 home defeat by Luton in midweek, Barnsley boss Markus Schopp showed faith in his side by naming an unchanged XI.

His players repaid him with an energetic showing in the first 45 minutes, with their pressing game proving fruitful.

Rangers try to get going through Charlie Austin, but the striker is flagged offside.

QPR get the second half going.

Rangers need a vast improvement after the break, and boss Mark Warburton has brought on Jimmy Dunne for centre-back Jordy de Wijs at the break.

That's all three substitutions made by the hosts now.

Barnsley boss Markus Schopp will want more of the same from his players after a assured first-half display.

A match under the lights at Ashton Gate got the Championship weekend started last night.

It proved to be a fruitful evening for Swansea boss Russell Martin, who recorded his first league win since taking charge earlier this month.

Bristol City are now winless in 12 home league games - a new (and unwanted) club record.

• Cardiff City v Millwall
• Coventry City v Reading
• Derby County v Middlesbrough
• Fulham v Hull City
• Luton Town v Birmingham City

We'll have all the build-up to those games - and the rest of today's EFL action - after full-time at QPR.

Goals from Dominik Frieser and Cauley Woodrow have given Barnsley a deserved lead at the break in west London.

R's boss Mark Warburton made a double change before half-time in a bid to regain some control.

After a delay of 15 minutes, Rotherham against Sheffield Wednesday has just kicked off.

Into two added minutes. Can QPR make any impression before the break?

QPR midfielder Ilias Chair gets a quick talking-to from referee Gavin Ward after having a small kick out at a Barnsley player after losing the ball and then having to chase back towards his own goal.

At times it has felt like Barnsley have had an extra man on the pitch, given the pressure Rangers have been under in midfield.

Rangers have had plenty of the ball in this first half, but haven't been able to break through the fierce press from the Tykes midfield and front line.

Barnsley have won possession plenty of times in the QPR half, and are really hurting the hosts.
