    AND ANOTHER SPECTACULAR STRIKE!!!

    Almost the same blade of grass from which Stephen Humphrys fired Wigan ahead in the first half, Oli Rathbone levels it up for Rotherham.

    Right-footed this time from the Rotherham midfielder but the ball finishes up in the same bottom left corner, past Ben Amos this time, to bring the leaders an equaliser.

    Terrific goal.

    Josh Vickers got lucky there, it was never a foul.

    It's a great ball by James McClean and Rotherham have got lucky.

    The keeper has to do better under pressure - football's a contact game.

  3. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 74 mins

    Rotherham 0-1 Wigan

    Wigan with the ball in the net again - but this one won't count.

    Callum Lang thought he'd tucked it home at the back post but the referee spotted an earlier foul on Rotherham goalkeeper Josh Vickers.

    And another booking for kicking the ball away needlessly.

    It's Michael Ihiekwe this time for Rotherham and it was Callum Lang ironically who was in close pursuiot at the time as he conceded a corner.

    Rotherham 0-1 Wigan

    Just over 10,500 inside the New York Stadium for this one, with 2,000 of them of a Wigan persuasion making the trip.

    They give goalscorer Stephen Humphrys a rousing send off as he is replaced by Will Keane in Wigan's first change of the night.

    Joshua Kayode, meanwhile, replaces Freddie Ladapo for Rotherham.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 68 mins

    Rotherham 0-1 Wigan

    Wigan forward Callum Lang in the book for a bit of a silly offence.

    He'd been caught well offside and play had stopped but he shrugged the ball away to waste a bit of time and Jeremy Simpson disliked that.

    Rotherham 0-1 Wigan

    Rotherham again see a decent chance go begging.

    Michael Smith gets on the end of a Wes Harding cross but gets caught between trying to head towards goal or trying to flick it on to the back post.

    It ends up sliding behind for a Wigan goal kick.

    It's not been Rotherham's day so far, but they've just got to stick at it and hope something happens.

    A bit of magic, or something from a set-play - they just need a break.

    Rotherham 0-1 Wigan

    Plenty of full-bloodied challenges still going in all over the pitch in this one.

    Neither side wanting to roll over.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 60 mins

    Rotherham 0-1 Wigan

    Rotherham make their first change.

    Jordi Osei-Tutu replaces Shane Ferguson in midfield.

    Rotherham 0-1 Wigan

    Rotherham building up some momentum now.

    Shane Ferguson forces a corner as he competes in the air with Gavin Massey to try and nod in a Wes Harding cross.

    Wigan scramble the corner clear and then Ben Amos again clings on under a high ball as Rotherham try to mount an aerial bombardment.

    It's a lovely bit of football and Wes Harding whips a great ball in.

    I think Michael Smith should be scoring - he'll be disappointed not to score.

    It's a great opportunity for Rotherham.

    Rotherham 0-1 Wigan

    Michael Smith so close to levelling it for Rotherham.

    Ben Amos with a superb reaction stop down to his left by the post as Smith nearly swept in right-footed from Wes Harding's low cross.

    Josh Magennis heads clear for Wigan as he comes back to help defend that set-piece from Dan Barlaser's delivery.

    All hands to the pump for Wigan to preserve this lead.

    Rotherham 0-1 Wigan

    Michael Smith and Freddie Ladapo link up well for the first time this evening for Rotherham.

    But still Wigan are defensively alert on the edge of their penalty area to get the ball back and clear their lines.

    Rotherham 0-1 Wigan

    Josh Magennis finds space for Wigan down the right wing and sends a low ball across the Rotherham six-yard box.

    Just out of Stephen Humphrys' reach as Rotherham hook it clear.

    Wigan then concede a foul in the Millers penalty area from another Max Power long throw.

    And we're back up and running at the New York Stadium.

    No changes at the break to either side as Rotherham get things restarted.

    And in case you were tuning in expecting to see coverage of Bournemouth v Nottingham Forest in the Championship tonight - here's why you aren't.

    There's also five other matches that have been postponed either tonight or tomorrow across the top five divisions.

    Not long to go until we restart, but here's the moment that separates the two sides.

    Stephen Humphrys with a goal, that is well worth your time searching out, to stun the League One leaders into conceding for the first time since 15 January.
