  1. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    That's us at half-time across the leagues.

    Let's look at the headlines so far shall we?

  2. 'Solanke clearly feels loved'published at 15:47 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Bournemouth 1-1 Bristol City

    Former Rochdale and Tranmere midfielder on Squad Goals

    When I look at Dominic Solanke, he needs to feel like he's the main man.

    With Scott Parker in charge he clearly feels loved and he's banging in goals left, right and centre.

    I'm sure if he gets the opportunity in the Premier League again he'll want to prove a few people wrong.

    Cardiff 0-1 Swansea

    Swansea almost make it 2-0 but Perry Ng makes a brilliant challenge to deny Michael Obafemi as he looks to shoot.

  4. Postpublished at 15:41 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Barnsley 1-0 Reading

    Reading move the ball around well to open up a chance for Tom Ince but he gets the ball stuck in his feet and the opportunity goes.

    All square. Bournemouth level it up, and it's Dominic Solanke who slots in.

    Jordan Zemura, at the heart of most of their best play so far, creates the chance and it's a simple tap-in for Solanke.

    He was denied by Robbie Cundy's tackle just before that. No issue this time.

  6. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:38 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Coventry 1-0 Blackburn

    Gustavo Hamer is getting close. Strikes the woodwork for Coventry, having already seen shots blocked.

    He was a fair way out, but the upright was shaken, rather than the net rippled.

  7. RED CARD: Liam Lindsay (Preston)published at 15:36 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Derby 0-0 Preston

    This could be big!

    Preston are a man down after the referee gives defender Liam Lindsay his marching orders for bringing down Derby's top-scorer Tom Lawrence as he went through on goal.

    A golden opportunity for the Rams to pick-up a much-needed three points now.

  8. goal

    Real character shown by Luton, who are level following a slick-worked move between Amari'i Bell and goalscorer Elijah Adebayo.

    The pair combine, and Adebayo sizzles a shot in off the post to bring parity and the Kenilworth Road faithful to their feet.

  9. Postpublished at 15:34 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Bournemouth 0-1 Bristol City

    Closest Bournemouth have come to an equaliser, as Philip Billing fires just wide after a raid by Jordan Zemura.

    Otherwise, Dan Bentley has had a reasonably comfortable time of it. City still lead.

  10. League Two latestpublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Mansfield celebrateImage source, Rex Features

    Leyton Orient have doubled their lead at Walsall with Otis Khan adding to Harry Smith’s opener.

    Promotion-chasing Mansfield are ahead at home to fellow high-flyers Northampton and Salford have scored two quick goals to lead against Hartlepool.

    Freddie Sears has equalised for Colchester away at Harrogate and struggling Barrow lead Port Vale.

  11. Postpublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Barnsley 1-0 Reading

    Reading go close to a leveller.

    John Swift gets in behind the home defence but his volley is saved by goalkeeper Brad Collins.

  12. Postpublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Peterborough 0-1 Middlesbrough

    Another nervy moment for Posh, as Folarin Balogun is denied only by another last-gasp block.

    You sense another Middlesbrough goal would deflate Peterborough big time.

  13. League One latestpublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    MK Dons celebrateImage source, Rex Features

    Promotion-chasing MK Dons are ahead at home to Shrewsbury through Mo Eisa.

    Wycombe lead Doncaster through Garath McCleary and Ayoub Assal has cancelled out Jack Hunt’s early goal to level it up between AFC Wimbledon and Sheffield Wednesday.

    Fleetwood also lead bottom-of-the-table Crewe.

  14. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:28 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    QPR 0-1 Fulham

    Championship leaders Fulham want to put this to bed quickly.

    Fabio Carvalho's deflected effort comes back off the post with home goalkeeper Keiren Westwood beaten.

    Two sides with genuine promotion hopes are separated finally, and it's Millwall who get the opener.

    Jed Wallace of course involved as to be expected, supplying the pass for Tom Bradshaw to half-volley into the back of the Hatters net.

    What a key goal that could be. The Lions are roaring.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Peterborough 0-1 Middlesbroughpublished at 15:27 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Marcus Tavernier (26 mins)

    Whoosh. Middlesbrough break the deadlock and it's a thunderous effort from Marcus Tavernier.

    The roaming midfielder catches it brilliantly and arrows it past David Cornell in the Posh goal.

    Ripper. Big for Boro, crushing for Posh.

  17. Postpublished at 15:24 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Derby 0-0 Preston

    Bottom-of-the-table Derby are so close to going in front!

    It's a great strike from distance by Jason Knight but Preston keeper Daniel Iversen turns it around the post at full-stretch.

  18. Postpublished at 15:24 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Stoke 0-0 Sheff Utd

    Morgan Gibbs-White gets in for the away side but, under pressure from Taylor Harwood-Bellis, pokes his shot wide.

  19. Postpublished at 15:24 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Peterborough 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Off the line from Paddy McNair! Joe Lumley was all at sea as Jack Marriott sent his shot at the Boro goal, but the home side are denied.

    At the other end, Posh's goal living something of an equally charmed life as Middlesbrough apply the squeeze.

    Matt Crooks had a shot zip just wide, while Aaron Connolly headed into the side netting and then saw his shot blocked.

    Boro starting to find their rhythm.

  20. Postpublished at 15:21 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Coventry 1-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn have shown a bit of adventure, with Sam Gallagher forcing a reactive save from Simon Moore after Joe Rankin-Costello nudged the ball into his path.

    Sky Blues standing firm.
