The home support continue to roar Vale on as Darrell Clarke's side chase an equaliser before half-time. They look threatening on the counter, but so far Brentford have defended well.

Still very cagey at the Hawthorns.

Jack Livermore's shot is blocked inside the Brighton box and it deflects out for a corner. West Brom can't capitalise on the set-piece.

Sam: Cambridge can sneak a win here. They've kept ASM and Joelinton quiet, doesn't help that NUFC's passing has been poor. One decent counter attack can change the entire game

Newcastle go close at the other end and of course it is Allan Saint-Maximin. He cuts in off the left and then fizzes a right-footed strike at goal, which is tipped behind by Dimitar Mitov.

The corner drops to Matt Ritchie, Mitov saves and Fabian Schar taps in, but he's well offside.

I thought Matt Ritchie took him a little bit. There is a tug on the shoulder and for me, it's a penalty. Joe Ironside is causing more problems for Newcastle again.

Cambridge have been absolutely brilliant.

QPR, fifth in the Championship, are beginning to stamp their authority against the League One leaders. It remains goalless though, as Rob Dickie sees a shot blocked and Jimmy Dunne can't beat the goalkeeper.

We're still waiting for the first goal at the DW Stadium.

The hosts had a half-chance, which fell to Gwion Edwards as the ball dropped nicely on the edge of the penalty area for him to strike on the volley, but the effort was off target.

At half time Hartlepool United were lucky to still be within touching distance of Championship side Blackpool.

Keshi Anderson opened the scoring after 8 minutes and Shane Lavery could’ve had another 2 but put both his efforts wide. The gulf in class was clear… but second half Pools absolutely deserved what would follow.

They played with no fear and got amongst Blackpool. Sometimes you need a bit of luck and they got that with David Ferguson’s shot taking a deflection to level things up against the club he used to captain!

Then as 18 year old striker Joe Grey entered the pitch off the bench, the script was written! He finished calmly inside the area to get The Vic bouncing!

Pools go into the 4th round of the FA Cup for just the 7th time in their history… but the first time in 13 years! And if you think today was a fluke, you’d be wrong… Pools have now played 6 teams from higher divisions this season alone, and haven’t lost once!

Ashley Fletcher hasn't had much of a sniff for Watford. Jannik Vestergaard has been fairly solid.

Vontae Daley Campbell is the first in the book for Leicester though, as he comes in late near the right corner.

Newcastle 0-0 Cambridge

Cambridge want a penalty!

Harvey Knibbs muscles in behind the Newcastle defence and goes down under pressure from Matt Ritchie inside the box.

This one is being checked... but is waved away. Was certainly worth a look

Only a great save denies Kidderminster Harriers' Omari Sterling-James as his swirling effort from distance is tipped wide.

Moments earlier Ashley Hemmings thought he should have a penalty as he went down inside the box.

Reading are not finding it easy against their non league opponents.

This Kidderminster v Reading game, for me, is fantastic. The fact that Kidderminster have been able to ride 30 minutes of pressure from Reading and stay in the game is fantastic. Now the tempo of the game has slowed down.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira to ITV: "I was happy with the first half that we played but we didn't use the ball well enough and in the second half what we wanted to do as a team was to win the game.

"We conceded a goal by a mistake that we made and we wanted to win the game because we wanted to support Jack [Butland] - this is the way we want to play and sometimes it can lead to mistakes.

"But I was really pleased with the character and determination we showed in the second half.

"In the first half it was difficult for Michael [Olise] to find space, we changed the shape a little bit in the second half so he played wider and we created situations where he was one-v-one, he's capable of coming inside or going outside and the goal he scored showed his quality."

This has been a great watch so far. It's frantic stuff, as Port Vale almost make a mess of a poor ball into the box. Brentford can't take advantage and quickly need to get back into their shape to prevent Vale breaking down the other end.

The rain is hammering down now but Boreham Wood are continuing to hold their own as they look to cause an upset. In fact, they are getting opportunities to add to their lead as Tyrone Marsh sees a decent shot blocked.

Watford look a threat on the break. Leicester are still creating chances at the other end though. One with Ademola Lookman breaks down, before Watford's Joao Pedro is stopped by two defenders near the right touchline.

Newcastle have had plenty of the ball, as you might expect, but Cambridge have so far held firm in the opening half an hour.

A first on-target attempt of the match from Andre Gray at Loftus Road, but it's not good enough to beat Rotherham keeper Josh Vickers.

The Championship side are growing into this after an even start.
