Forest make another change, with Joe Lolley replaced by Philip Zinckernagel.

Another roll of the dice by Steve Cooper.

This is breathless.

Big save from Brice Samba.

Lyndon Dykes leaps like a big Scottish salmon to nod the ball to Ilias Chair, who returns the ball into his path.

Dykes hares down on goal, but Samba is out to block. QPR can't turn in the rebound.

Forest survive. That's always the danger if you go for it.

Joe Lolley gets a sighter, skimming the edge of the box until a gap appears but he pulls his shot just wide of Seny Dieng's QPR goal.

Forest keep throwing punches.

Forest are playing like the home side, forcing the issue and driving the play, while Rangers are cleverly set up to frustrate.

The visitors have gone 'big'. Attack, attack, attack.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

Tobias Figueiredo is off along with Lewis Grabban, and Lyle Taylor pictured and Alex Mighten are on.

Pink hair to raise awareness for cancer. Fair play.

Concerted period of pressure for Forest.

They are moving the ball from sideline to sideline, trying to pick up spaces, but QPR have swamped their box with numbers.

Lewis Grabban snaps a shot from the edge of the box, but it's always zipping wide.

Rob Dickie tries to swivel and shoot in the box but it's blocked and Lewis Grabban plays a peach to Brennan Johnson.

Johnson just swerves away from Albert Adomah for Forest, but as he jinks into the box, his low drive at the near post sizzles wide.

He's the outlet.

Lovely free-kick routine almost produces a second.

It was curled into the left side of the box, Jimmy Dunne powered it across goal and Albert Adomah forces a Forest player to turn behind.

The corner produces another set-piece...

Rob Dickie sets off on a swashbuckling run for Rangers, darting into midfield and beyond with some lovely footwork, before he's hauled down by Jack Colback.

He'll be on the radar of some big clubs. He's a class act.

Free-kick from a way out here.

Rob Dickie booms a header away, and Forest's free-kick comes to nothing.

As you were.

Joe Worrall gifts the ball to Andre Dozzell but despite a smart pass forward, Lyndon Dykes and Stefan Johansen cannot keep hold of possession.

QPR a little sloppy there.

Forest darting and swooping. Working the angles but space is limited.

Lewis Grabban got a yard in the box, but Rangers nip into get it clear.

However, Dozzell fouls Jack Colback outside the box and Forest get a free-kick.

Rangers have sat into a rigid defensive shape and Forest are trying to unpick the lock by moving the ball around.

Ryan Yates got down the right a moment ago but his overhit cross swung to the far post.

Joe Lolley then scoops a pass into the box but QPR keeper Seny Dieng claims it.

Here we go. Second-half is under way.

A costly day for the player bonus kittys at Blackpool and Preston as both clubs are handed £5,000 fines after their players clashed in the closing stages of their meeting last weekend.

Some player contract news from around the Championship today where Preston have agreed a deal to keep striker Emile Riis at Deepdale for another 12 months beyond his previous contract.

We've got the remaining 11 Championship fixtures of this weekend on the way tomorrow.

It's an all-day affair too so make sure you're well rested and rehydrated for a busy schedule on Saturday.

It all begins a few miles down the road from this evening's match as Fulham host West Brom in the lunchtime kick-off at Craven Cottage.

Second against third there to get the appetite going.

Nine more matches then kick-off at 15:00 BST and then leaders Bournemouth round-off the day's action when they head to Reading for a 20:00 BST meeting.

They'll also be action and reaction from the day's fuxtures in Leagues One and Two.

The Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium really had lift off when Dykes powered in at the end of the half. It's his third in as many games against Forest.

Forest have shown in other games though, particularly in the win at Bristol City, they have some character and guts.

All set for a good next 45.

Call it perseverance. Call it a sucker-punch. Call it what you like, but QPR have the half-time lead after Lyndon Dykes powers in a header right in the final moments of the half.

Even the most ardent Hoops fan couldn't say they deserve to be in front, but the key fact is, they are.

Forest showed some real signs of intent and threat. They won't panic just yet. Brennan Johnson has been the best player on the pitch.

QPR get some space down the left, Moses Odubajo showed a bit of shimmy and shake to get a yard with Djed Spence tracking him but his curled cross was straight to Seny Dieng.

Forest bomb forward down the right in reply, and as Yoann Barbet tries to shepherd it out, Brennan Johnson wins a corner off him.
