    That's your lot from us on what has been a good day for Derby and a VERY good day for Bournemouth.

    Firstly, the administration-hit Rams beat West Brom 1-0 thanks to a Colin Kazim-Richards goal after an almighty mix-up between Baggies defender Cedric Kipre and goalkeeper Sam Johnstone left him with an open goal.

    That defeat stopped Albion from leapfrogging the Cherries into second and Scott Parker's men then went and won 1-0 at QPR in our second game to end the day atop the Championship table.

    We'll be back with more EFL live text action from 19:30 GMT on Wednesday (two days' time if you're understandably not sure what day it is at the moment).

    The Cherries go back to the top of the Championship table!

    A bad-tempered end to what had otherwise been a fairly contested match between two teams who seem likely to both be in the shake-up at the end of the season.

    Bournemouth went into the game on the back of five games without victory but were worthy winners here thanks to Dominic Solanke's first-half header.

    Sub Jaidon Anthony missed a great chance to make it 2-0 from close range shortly after coming on.

    QPR, who ended the game with 10-men after sub Andre Dozzell was sent off for a second yellow in the final moments, battled well but didn't really force visiting goalkeeper Mark Travers into a save of note.

    Just a minute to go.

    Looks like Bournemouth will hold on to end their five-match winless run and go back to the top of the Championship.

    Could be a long five minutes for the visitors.

    Tremendous block from Jefferson Lerma, just when it looked like it had opened up for QPR.

    Brilliant from the Colombian.

    Can QPR find an equaliser?

    Good stuff from Cherries goalkeeper Mark Travers.

    He's off his line quickly to stop Lyndon Dykes getting in on goal.

    Bournemouth midfielder Philip Billing is in the book for dissent.

    That's his eighth yellow of the campaign. Two more will earn the Dane a two-match ban.

    Nice build-up from Bournemouth ends with Ryan Christie playing a one-two with Dominic Solanke and curling a shot at goal.

    Seny Dieng is equal to it in the home goal.

    Great defending from Andre Dozzell!

    Albert Adomah gives the ball away for the home side and Lewis Cook slides a great ball through for Dominic Solanke to race on to.

    Just as he goes to shoot Dozzell gets across to block.

    QPR finally get down the Bournemouth end of the pitch.

    Albert Adomah's cross forces a corner and when the ball is recycled Gary Cahill heads the ball towards his own goal but Mark Travers makes a comfortable stop.
