    Huge let-off for Birmingham as Middlesbrough have a penalty awarded but it's saved by Neil Etheridge!

    Isaiah Jones is brought down in the box by Taylor Richards and the referee points to the spot.

    Up steps Paddy McNair but it's a poor strike. Etheridge gets his fingers on it and touches it onto the post before it bounces the other way across the goal face and away. Still 1-0.

    Swindon have retaken the lead at home to Sutton through Harry McKirdy.

  4. Postpublished at 21:00 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    Bournemouth 1-0 Reading

    Hour gone at the Vitality Stadium.

    Reading still pressing in this one for an equaliser and a teasing cross from Tom Ince just creeps out of the reach of both Lucas Joao and Josh Laurent to run onto for the finishing touch.

  5. EFL Trophy final a distraction for Sutton?published at 20:56 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    Swindon 2-1 Sutton

    Sutton are struggling a bit since reaching the EFL Trophy final - the moment can get to you.

    They're all looking to make sure they're fit for that.

    In the past I've put so much into games before a big cup tie and ended up getting injured and missing it.

    GOAL: Blackburn Rovers 1-1 Derby Countypublished at 20:55 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    Ewood Park noise levels get cranked up several notches!

    Blackburn draw level as Scott Wharton heads in a powerful effort at the near post from a corner from the right by Joe Rothwell.

    Be interesting to see how this one goes from here.

  7. Postpublished at 20:50 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    Blackburn 0-1 Derby

    Double change from Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray to start the second half.

    Bradley Dack and Sam Gallagher replace Bradley Johnson and Joe Rankin-Costello for the hosts as they try to draw level.

    And as one half ends, the rest begin their second across the EFL.

    More goals and drama on the way in both promotion and relegation battles?

    Let's hope so....

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:46 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    West Brom 0-0 Fulham

    West Brom v FulhamImage source, Rex Features

    No time added on hardly at the end of that first 45.

    West Brom making all the running and again right on the interval Marek Rodak is called into action to push away a dangerous ball across from Conor Townsend.

    West Brom certainly not playing like a side who have only won one of their past nine.

  10. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:43 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    West Brom 0-0 Fulham

    Another chance goes begging for West Brom!

    A low save from Karlan Grant via the outside of the post this time by Marek Rodak.

    Conor Townsend's low cross to Grant at the near post looked to have found its way in at the near post, but behind for a corner it went before Fulham cleared.

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:43 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    Birmingham City 0-1 Middlesbrough

    Aaron Connolly's goal is the difference between the two sides, as Boro look for their first win on the road in seven matches.

    They would have been two goals to the good had the linesman's flag not ruled out Folarin Balogun's goal right before the half-time whistle.

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:41 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    Barnsley 2-0 Bristol City

    Two early corners, two goals for Barnsley. Carlton Morris got the first before Michal Helik added the second 11 minutes later to give them a deserved lead against Bristol City.

    The visitors have been all over the place defensively and need to regroup at half-time if they want to get back into this.

  15. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 20:39 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    Birmingham 0-1 Middlesbrough

    Birmingham have a huge let-off right on half-time.

    Folarin Balogun gets through down the middle and gets the ball in the net for Middlesbrough, but the linesman belatedly waves his flag after a bit of a delay and it's scrubbed off for offside.

  16. Postpublished at 20:38 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    West Brom 0-0 Fulham

    Callum Robinson the man denied this time by another Marek Rodak save.

    West Brom are asking all the questions with balls down the channels to stretch Fulham but the finishing touch is all that is letting West Brom down.

    Robinson cuts back inside on his left and shoots, but Rodak across well to his left to beat it away two-handed.

  17. Postpublished at 20:36 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    West Brom 0-0 Fulham

    West Brom again with a great chance to open the scoring.

    Marek Rodak off his line to block Karlan Grant's low shot.

    Tim Ream also tracked back well to knock Grant a little off balance before he took aim.

  18. Postpublished at 20:34 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    West Brom 0-0 Fulham

    Still around 12 minutes until the interval at The Hawthorns.

    Fulham haven't really threatened in this one as yet coming forward and the more replays you see of that earlier incident with Alex Mowatt and Harrison Reed, the greater West Brom's case for a penalty gets.

  19. Postpublished at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    Birmingham City 0-1 Middlesbrough

    It's quietened down at St Andrew's, but we're approaching half-time and while the home side have had slightly more chances in front of goal they are yet to record a shot on target.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:31 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    Blackburn 0-1 Derby

    Derby scoreImage source, PA Media

    Ravel Morrison with another potential lifeline in Derby's bid to pull off the great escape.

    Blackburn's goalscoring touch again deserting them.
