Adam Williams and Matt Newsum

  1. Reading 2-0 Blackpool

    Demetri Mitchell again involved for Blackpool.

    This time he swings a direct free-kick just over the crossbar as the visitors finish the half the stronger.

  2. Reading 2-0 Blackpool

    Blackpool keep plugging away in the closing stages of the first half.

    James Husband also has a go from the edge of the penalty area but doesn't hit the target on this occasion.

  3. Reading 2-0 Blackpool

    Demetri Mitchell again involved for Blackpool as they search for a goal back.

    This time he does get a shot away, but Luke Southwood is able to make the save in the Reading goal.

  4. HALF-TIME

    Hull 1-1 Peterborough

    A late flurry at the end of an eventful first 45 minutes sees the scores level at the break.

    Hull hit the post and lost talismanic midfielder Tom Huddlestone, but showed a bit of mettle to level through Josh Magennis at the end of the half after Jack Taylor's stunning opener for Posh.

  5. Reading 2-0 Blackpool

    Still just over 10 minutes to play in the first half of this one.

    A couple of quick goals for Reading but Blackpool are still pushing forward.

    Demetri Mitchell is brought down in the penalty area for the visitors but their appeals for a spot kick are waved away.

  6. HALF-TIME

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Barnsley

    Andraz Sporar's goal the difference for Middlesbrough who are deservedly in front against Barnsley.

    The Tykes visibly lack confidence.

  7. HALF-TIME

    Fulham 0-0 Cardiff City

    Both sides have struck the woodwork but still no way through for either of them.

  8. HALF-TIME

    Huddersfield 0-0 Birmingham

    Chances at both ends as Huddersfield largely dominated, but Birmingham have proved tough to break down.

  9. HALF-TIME

    Preston 0-1 Coventry

    Tyler Walker's excellent strike just before the break sends Coventry in ahead.

    Work for Preston to do.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Hull 1-1 Peterborough

    Josh Magennis (45 mins)

    Immediate response.

    Keane Lewis-Potter put a peach of a ball in, and Josh Magennis buries his header at the back post, bulleted in off the turf for a leveller.

  11. HALF-TIME

    Swansea City 0-1 West Brom

    Karlan Grant's goal timed at 52 seconds to be precise is the difference between these two in a very wet south Wales.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Preston 0-1 Coventry

    Tyler Walker (45 mins)

    WHAT a season Coventry are having!

    Tyler Walker collects the ball inside the area, stumbles at first, but then manages to get a fierce shot away into the top corner.

    As things stand the Sky Blues are third in the Championship and you can't really call this an early-season table any more.

  13. goal

    GOAL: Hull 0-1 Peterborough

    Jack Taylor (43 mins)

    Outstanding strike from Jack Taylor gives Peterborough the lead, and it's a mesmerising effort.

    Ball was touched back to Taylor after a short corner, and he swivelled to put it from right to left from the edge of the box, looping over the goalkeeper Matt Ingram with pace and precision.

    Sublime.

  14. Middlesbrough 1-0 Barnsley

    Boro should be two-up, but as Andraz Sporar raced down field with Duncan Watmore in support, the Slovenia striker couldn't quite smoothly pick out his team-mate and the shot was eventually dealt with.

    Good cover racing back helped.

  15. Fulham 0-0 Cardiff City

    Free-kick for Fulham, dead central, inside the D.

    Four of them line up as contenders to take it after what seems like an age to set up the wall.

    Up steps Neeskens Kebano who tries to dink it over the wall....

    But he can only find the head of one of those blue-shirted players stationed to cut it out.

    Anti-climax.

  16. Swansea short on threat

    Swansea 0-1 West Brom

    Gareth Vincent
    BBC Sport Wales at the Swansea.com Stadium

    After their desperate start, Swansea have grown into this contest.

    But for all their control of possession, Russell Martin's team have not created a chance of any note.

    Valerien Ismael's team have the second best defensive record in the division.

    For the moment at least, the Albion boss looks fairly relaxed.

  17. Hull 0-0 Peterborough

    Stoppage at Hull as Di'shon Bernard was cleaned out inadvertently by Posh goalkeeper David Cornell.

    He's finally up on his feet. It's a relief for the home support, with Tom Huddlestone already off.

  18. Preston 0-0 Coventry

    It's all gone a bit scrappy at Deepdale.

    Coventry don't concede many and draw specialists Preston have only netted 12 times this season.

    Hope that's not an omen!

  19. goal

    GOAL: Reading 2-0 Blackpool

    Tom Dele-Bashiru (21 mins)

    And no sooner did Blackpool come close to levelling, they fall 2-0 behind.

    A third Reading goal this season for Tom Dele-Bashiru as he sweeps it home inside the penalty area.

    Josh Laurent could have had a go himself after George Puskas fed the ball into him, but he cooly side-footed to his right to find the man unmarked.

  20. Reading 1-0 Blackpool

    Good response by the visitors after Scott Dann's header.

    Jordan Gabriel and Jerry Yates both test out Royals keeper Luke Southwood but he is equal to both efforts in quick succession.
