    Preston 0-0 Bournemouth

    How is it not 1-0 Preston?

    A great ball in from Preston's Daniel Johnson is met by Cameron Archer, but the striker's effort is saved by the outstretched foot of Bournemouth keeper Mark Travers.

    Huge opening.

    Michael Obafemi (40 mins)

    The Swans are soaring!

    Striker Michael Obafemi had a hand in the first and he has the second for himself.

    Flynn Downes feeds the ball through and the Republic of Ireland international does the rest.

    Millwall are upwardly mobile, Reading are strugging.

    That Paul Ince managerial bounce hasn't lasted very long.

    We've had a goal in the game of the day as Fraser Horsfall has given second-placed Northampton the advantage over fourth-placed Tranmere.

    James Waite has given Newport the lead against fellow play-off chasers Bristol Rovers at Rodney Parade.

    Elsewhere we've had three goals in east London with Luke Prosser and Luke Norris scoring for Stevenage either side of Ruel Sotiriou's effort for Leyton Orient.

    There's been a big goal at the bottom with John Rooney opening the scoring for Barrow at home to Walsall.

    A deserved opener for QPR.

    Moses Odubajo's cross causes chaos in the area which allows Andre Gray to latch on to the ball and smash it into the top corner.

    A first home goal for the forward with QPR.

  6. goal

    GOAL: Reading 0-1 Millwallpublished at 15:39 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2022

    Straight from the resulting corner Jake Cooper, virtually unmarked, rises highest to head the ball home.

    Millwall are on course for a fifth win in a row.

    Reading 0-0 Millwall

    A big big chance for Millwall.

    The Lions break from a Reading corner and the ball ends up at the feet of defender Danny McNamara.

    He has a pop but his long range effort is superbly tipped over the bar by a retreating Luke Southwood.

    But hang on....

    Bristol City 0-2 Birmingham

    Bristol City fans have something to cheer about. Bristol Rovers are losing to Newport County 1-0 in League Two.

    As for their own team, the Robins haven't showed up today. It's still all Birmingham.

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Luton

    Luton threaten.

    Cameron Jerome latches on to Allan Campbell's pass but Joe Lumley keeps it out.

    Reading 0-0 Millwall

    Around 10 minutes left until half-time.

    Neither side can truly say they've been on top in this one. Very even.

    Derby 1-0 Barnsley

    Derby are rampant right now.

    Ravel Morrison crashes an effort off the crossbar as he looks for his, and Derby's, second.

    Leaders Rotherham have taken the lead at home to MK Dons through a Daniel Barlaser penalty after Daniel Harvie was sent off for a foul on Chiedozie Ogbene. It could be a long afternoon for the Dons.

    Second-placed Wigan have gone in front at home to strugglers Wimbledon courtesy of Will Keane.

    Portsmouth have doubled their lead at home to Accrington thanks to a Sean Raggett header. That despite being reduced to 10 men after Marcus Harness saw red for a foul on Ross Sykes.

    Ball falls to Hull forward Keane Lewis-Potter in the area but he smashes his effort over the crossbar.

    QPR 0-0 Cardiff

    No breakthrough just yet.

    QPR are dominating, they've had over 75% of the possession so far.

  15. CLOSE!published at 15:30 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2022

    Preston 0-0 Bournemouth

    Preston should be 1-0 up, Daniel Johnson plays in Cameron Archer but the Aston Villa loanee can only fire his shot over the bar.

    He was under pressure from three Bournemouth defenders, but that was a real chance..

    George Honeyman ends a free-kick in from 25 yards out that Semi Ajayi gets up well to head clear.

    Ravel Morrison is incredible, I've played against him in five-a-sides. He is a special talent and under Wayne Rooney, someone who he will respect, he is clearly doing it on the pitch.

    Derby have themselves a real player. They have taken a risk but it looks like it might be paying off.

    Derby 1-0 Barnsley

    Unbelievably that is Ravel Morrison's first league goal in England since April 2014!
