    While we had a scaled-down fixture list tonight, we hope to return on Saturday with as close to a full programme across the EFL as possible.

    The Championship action begins at lunchtime with leaders Fulham hosting Huddersfield at Craven Cottage before loads more across the three divisions from 15:00 GMT.

    We'll have live text updates, social media interactions plus all the crew from BBC Squad Goals broadcasting during the afternoon with their own analysis on the action.

    Join us from about 12:15 GMT on Saturday.

    And as Frank Sinatra plays out, the fans make their way out of the New York Stadium with Rotherham still six points clear of Wigan.

    We'll have a full report on the way later.

    FT: Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    Ex-Rotherham manager on BBC Radio Sheffield

    I think probably, at the end of the day, a draw is a fair result.

    The game will be remembered for two great goals.

  5. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:44 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2022

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    And that is your lot.

    A real hard-fought and tight contest between the top two finishes all square.

    Two cracking goals, one in each half, from Stephen Humphrys first and then Oli Rathbone to level.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 90+6 mins

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    And another late yellow card.

    Wigan's Gavin Massey this time for a cynical shirt pull.

  7. Postpublished at 90+6 mins

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    Michael Smith caught offside this time for Rotherham as he thought he'd chested down a long ball forward.

    We're seconds away from the conclusion.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 90+4 mins

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    Glen Rea booked for Wigan as he tugged the shirt of Joshua Kayode.

    Wigan were pushing there trying to force something but Rotherham held firm.

  9. Postpublished at 90+2 mins

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    Rotherham catch Wigan offside once again from an attacking free-kick with a very high line.

    Will Keane the player flagged this time for the Latics.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 90+1 mins

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    Ben Wiles goes in a bit too late on Tom Naylor and becomes the second Rotherham player booked.

  11. INJURY TIMEpublished at 90 mins

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    SIX MINUTES TO BE ADDED ON...

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    And Ben Amos does a bit more time-wasting to try and eat up the final minute before he takes a free-kick for Wigan.

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    Ronnie Moore
    Ex-Rotherham manager on BBC Radio Sheffield

    Wigan would've been happy with a point from the first minute.

    But they've actually played really well, to be fair to them.

    They were time-wasting from 10 minutes in.

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    The stadium announcer confirms Rotherham's Oli Rathbone has been chosed as their man of the match.

    Hard to argue with that choice after his great goal.

    Can another Miller go on and be the ultimate hero from here and grab a late winner?

  15. Postpublished at 85 mins

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    Wigan make their last change as Glen Rea replaces Josh Magennis.

    Wigan trying to force their way into Rotherham's half down the flanks but the hosts are battling away to preserve this scoreline and their six-point lead.

  16. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 83 mins

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    Tom Naylor the latest to stick the ball in the back of the net for Wigan but also to see it disallowed for offside.

    He'd slipped the offside trap too early before Max Power could send in his free-kick.

  17. Postpublished at 82 mins

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    Rotherham buoyed by that equaliser and really pressing Wigan now.

    Jack Whatmough has to hook a ball behind for a corner but then Ben Amos calmly gathers the cross two-handed to ease the pressure on the visitors.

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    Into the last 10 minutes.

    This meeting of the top two in League One certainly hasn't disappointed.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 78 mins

    Rotherham 1-1 Wigan

    Wigan make a second change - James McClean makes way for Tendayi Darikwa.

    Who's got it in them to win this one then from here?

    What a strike that is. The keeper was nowhere near it.

    Now then Rotherham, can you go on and win this?!

    Football can be a cruel game - Leam Richardson will think Wigan should be 2-0 up and then Rotherham get a goal out of nothing.
