A poor evening for Cardiff continues as they trail Bournemouth, are down to 10 players and have now lost Kieffer Moore to injury.

He makes way with what seems to be an ankle injury and is replaced by James Collins.

How's that not gone in?!

Nottingham Forest should be level against Huddersfield here as another chance goes begging.

Lee Nicholls puts in a smart save from Xande Silva but parries the ball into the path of Brennan Johnson who should tap in from close range but his effort goes off target and hits the side netting.

Well the night has deteriorated pretty quickly either side of half-time for Bristol City.

Andy King stops a promising counter-attack just inside his own half and a second yellow card sends him down the tunnel.

City have got the best part of 35 minutes now to play with 10 men.

So close to Ross Stewart's hat-trick.

Lynden Gooch puts a ball across to the backpost where Stewart latches onto it, but Sheffield Wednesday keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell puts in the block to thwart the Sunderland man.

QPR are building on their gift at the end of the first half.

Lee Wallace with a fierce left-foot volley well blocked and then a free-kick from 25 yards out needs smartly dealing with by the goalkeeper.

City have hardly had the ball since the break.

A fantastic save from Nottingham Forest keeper Brice Samba.

He puts in a diving save to his right and puts his left arm high to deny Lewis O'Brien who had put in a weaving run before letting fly from outside the box.

Does the Sheffield Wednesday fightback start here? Lewis Wing picks up the ball and gets a shot away.

But his effort goes over the Sunderland crossbar.

Daniel Sinani has just fluffed an absolute gilt-edged chance for Huddersfield.

A wayward clearance from Brice Samba gives possession back to the visitors and Jordan Rhodes plays a ball to Sinani who is unmarked, but his first-time effort goes high and wide.

Nottingham Forest pick up where they left off and work the first chance of the second half against Huddersfield.

Philip Zinckernagel puts in a low drive from inside the box that forces a save from Terriers keeper Lee Nicholls.

We are beginning to get back under way across Thursday's English Football League matches.

It is Thursday. I've checked and everything.

Simon Atkins: I remember when Rotherham overturned a massive 17 point deduction in League Two and finished on 58 points. Derby, if they continue playing like this, definitely have a chance of overturning the 11 points currently separating them from safety.

Sunderland are coasting their way to the top of League One as it stands, with a sensational first half against Sheffield Wednesday giving them a three-goal cushion heading into the break.

Ross Stewart's double and Callum Doyle combine to do the damage.

Well City have been here before this season.

Alex Scott gave them an early lead, they dominated the half and should have gone 2-0 up.

But a penalty out of nothing has presented QPR with their equaliser and it’s all to play for now in south Brizzle.
