    Bristol City 1-1 Middlesbrough

    Bristol City defender Kal Naismith makes a huge challenge to deny Ross Stewart.

    The Scotland striker was about to let a shot go, but Naismith's tackle is timely.

    Before that, Chris Martin had a shot cleared off the line at the other end, as the home side pressed.

    Swansea 0-0 Blackburn

    Some good link-up play between Kyle Naughton and Nathan Wood, with the former teeing up the latter.

    However, Wood's header is well dealt with by Blackburn keeper Thomas Kaminski.

    Reading are level but they believe they should have a man advantage as well.

    Shane Long's penalty has cancelled out Callum O'Dowda's opener for Cardiff, who can count themselves lucky that Curtis Nelson has not been sent off.

    The centre-back pulled back Tom Ince after he rounded Cardiff keeper Ryan Allsop but was only booked.

    Rangers double the lead, and it's an error from Zach Steffen.

    He flapped at a corner from Ilias Chair, and Jimmy Dunne finished off the loose ball.

    Chris Wilder needs to sort things out here.

    Parity for the Royals as Tom Ince is lopped down in the box by Curtis Nelson, and up steps Shane Long to score from the spot.

    Big goal.

    QPR 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Lyndon Dykes has quite a bit on his shoulders at the moment in the QPR attack, with the Rs short on cover.

    He's just forced a save from goalkeeper Zach Steffen, with another strike from distance.

    Swansea 0-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn are looking to make it two wins from two under new boss Jon Dahl Tomasson this afternoon, but standing in their way are a Swansea City team hoping for progress in their second season under Russell Martin.

    Predictably, Swansea are seeing plenty of possession - but Blackburn have rarely been troubled as yet, other than one Joel Piroe effort which flashed wide of the post.

    Patience is key for Martin's side as they look to pass Rovers into submission.

    But former Newcastle striker Tomasson will be happy enough with what he has seen so far.

    Preston 0-0 Hull

    There's been a short break in play at Deepdale as Preston's Liam Lindsay received treatment for a head injury.

    He's cleared to continue and play gets back under way. Still goalless between Preston and Hull so far.

    Sheffield United have been pretty relentless since taking the lead at Bramall Lane, with Bartosz Bialkowski being worked overtime.

    That pressure had to tell eventually, as Sander Berge unlocks the defence after John Fleck picked off a Charlie Cresswell mistake.

    Berge rounded the keeper and slotted in. United are well and truly flying.

    Bad news for Blackpool. Gary Madine has injured himself in the process of glancing a headed effort towards goal against Stoke.

    Preston 0-0 Hull

    Troy Parrott does well for Preston as he cuts in down the right flank for the hosts against Hull.

    He gets his shot away soon after but his effort is blocked by the visitors.

    "We are top of the league," sing Cardiff's fans as their side lead at Reading.

    As things stand, some 110 minutes into their Championship season, they're right.
