The County Ground is rocking as Harry McKirdy has his fourth and Swindon's fifth against second-placed Northampton.

Dominic Telford has scored his second of the day putting Newport 3-2 up at Walsall, a minute after the Saddlers had drawn level.

Hull make their final change of the match as Richie Smallwood is withdrawn in place of Randell Williams.

Can they find a late leveller against Blackpool or are the Seasiders heading for a vital home win?

Kieran Sadlier has been sent on for Rotherham to replace Ben Wiles as the Millers seek a goal that could take them back to the top of League One.

The Millers lost for the first time in 22 games last time out, against Accrington, and Bolton have been more than stubborn in keeping them away from goal.

Shane Ferguson just played in Freddie Ladapo for the hosts, but his fierce drive on the angle is over the top.

Keshi Anderson does well to hold up the ball down the left flank and he puts in a cross into the Hull box.

Blackpool goalscorer Gary Madine is on hand to work onto it but his headed effort goes wide of the mark.

Swindon have given themselves some daylight with Tyreece Simpson adding a fourth against Northampton.

There have only been two cards dished out on the field in this one so far, with Bolton boss Ian Evatt the only other competitor to receive a booking this afternoon.

Those yellow cards have been handed out to wingers, for classic wingers challenges. Bolton's Oladapo Afolayan was cautioned in the first-half for a cynical challenge of Chiedozie Ogbene.

Ogbene has had his name in the book too for a tug on George Johnston.

In terms of chances, Trotters winger Elias Kachunga smashed wide after a slaloming run.

Another enforced substitution for Hull as Josh Magennis can't continue.

He's replaced by Tom Eaves with just under half an hour left on the clock.

At the County Ground Swindon have scored two quick goals to lead Northampton 3-2. Harry McKirdy with a hat-trick to put his side ahead.

Conor Wilkinson briefly drew mid-table Walsall level at home to promotion-chasing Newport before scoring at the wrong end to give the Exiles a 2-1 lead.

Bradford and Barrow have both scored early second-half goals to see the Bantams 2-1 ahead at Holker Street.

Crawley have extended their lead against Colchester with Ashley Nadesan grabbing his second goal of the game.

Josh Magennis is down in the centre circle and there's another delay in play.

Hull already lost Callum Elder to injury early on in this game, remember.

Rotherham get a sight of goal as midfielder Ben Wiles receives a pass from Shane Ferguson on the edge of the box, but the slapshot whistles just wide.

Best opportunity of the second period. which remains tightly-locked at this stage.

Callum Wright has given Cheltenham the lead in the A40 derby at Oxford.

George Honeyman puts in a pass towards his Hull teammate Tyler Smith but the visitors' efforts are well dealt with by Blackpool.

Seasiders keeper Dan Grimshaw sprints out and clears it away before Smith can latch onto it.

Forest Green's free-scoring attack is possibly missing the Covid-absentee presence of Matty Stevens, with Jamille Matt and Jack Aitchison unable to prise anything out of Stevenage thus far.

The visitors have been game themselves in this one, although Elliott List has had to come off for Arthur Read.

Action in the early stages of the second half and it's Blackpool who've come close to padding out their advantage against Hull.

Josh Bowler volleys goalbound and Nathan Baxter parries it into the path of Keshi Anderson, but fortunately for the Hull keeper, Anderson's follow-up is flagged offside before he puts it over the bar.

No changes from either side at the break as the two managers decide when or whether to roll the dice in this contest.

Rotherham finished the first 45 minutes with six attempts but only one was on target. That statistic needs to change.

Bolton only had three shots on target themselves but caused plenty of issues.

On yer head!

Blackpool, as it stands, are heading up to 12th in the table if it stays like this.

Hull have the remainder of the second half to thwart their efforts for a vital win.

We are slowly getting back under way across the English Football League.

The New Year's Day fun continues.
