• As for sides at the bottom, Charlton are half way to just their second win of the season as they lead at fellow strugglers Fleetwood.
• Crewe have also had a great start, with Oliver Finney and Scott Robertson putting them 2-0 up.

The whistle has been sounded across the English Football League and the first half is coming to an end.

Happy with your side's performance? Another 45 minutes awaits.

It's a big clash between two former Premier League sides and Portsmouth are now 2-0 up against Sunderland.

John Marquis' deft flick set up goalscorer Lee Brown, who himself was the creator moments before when he found Marcus Harness in the box and the Irish forward fired into the bottom corner.

Elsewhere, Charlton Athletic, who are in desperate need of a win, lead Fleetwood 1-0 thanks to Jonathan Leko's powerful low effort.

Bournemouth come close.

Former Celtic winger Ryan Christie has a crack after good work from Jaydon Anthony, lashing a shot from the edge of the box on the right but it's searing over all day.

Opportunities still at a premium.

Ryan Giles tries to get Cardiff back on level terms straight after that Reading goal.

But his long range drive sails wide of the post.

Luton are pressing right before the break against Huddersfield, now.

Harry Cornick whips in a cross which falls to Amari'i Bell and he hits the bar from close range.

Scott Hogan puts the ball in the back of the net but Birmingham are denied.

Offside. Not running for them today.

Chance for Middlesbrough.

Andraz Sporar tracks a pass from Marcus Tavernier, but the Slovene cannot find the back of the net.

Both sides have had chances.

With all sorts of issues for Derby to cope with this season already, one of the bright notes for Wayne Rooney and the fans has been the continued emergence of their talented youngsters.

Jason Knight, at just 20 and with 70-odd appearances, already feels like a veteran and he's dragging the Rams up by their collars at the moment.

One driving run takes him into a decent position but despite a dangerous looking cross, it zips away to safety.

Two goals in three minutes for League Two leaders Forest Green Rovers at Carlisle!

No surprise that Jamille Matt is firing once again. He has his seventh of the season after a corner went all the way through to the back post.

Nicky Cadden's strike is the more impressive as he rockets the ball into the corner from the left side of the penalty area.

Salford City, meanwhile, have a second at Colchester after Tom Elliott's header down bounced off the ground and in.

A reminder that with Matt Taylor facing Matt Taylor in the St James Park dugouts today as Exeter host Walsall, we want to know what footballer you share your name with or have been mistaken for?

It would be great if we could build an XI and even get a manager too.

We have Rob Green in goal and Paolo Rossi and Mick Channon up front.
