    Bristol City 2-0 Luton

    Luton manager was an angry man at half-time as he made three changes, sending on Luke Freeman, Jordan Clark and Admiral Muskwe.

    But the Hatters are lucky not be to further behind as Tommy Conway has been denied by goalkeeper Ethan Horvath.

    Then Andreas Weimann, normally so prolific, shot over when he should have scored.

    Allahyar Sayyadmanesh's night is over.

    Burnley 1-1 Hull

    Dear oh dear.

    Allahyar Sayyadmanesh does well for Hull down the right and forces Ian Maatsen into dealing with the danger before he can get a shot away.

    But in the process he pulls up and it looks like his hamstring's gone.

  6. Deeney against the Hornetspublished at 20:57 British Summer Time 16 August 2022

    Birmingham 1-0 Watford

    We were so used to seeing Troy Deeney wearing the yellow and black of Watford for years.

    Deeney scored 140 goals in 419 games across 11 seasons and he was the familiar figure as players and managers came and went.

    Now he is wearing the blue of Birmingham and has the captain's armband as well as he faces the Hornets for the first time since leaving Vicarage Road.

    Swansea 2-0 Millwall

    Is the Millwall comeback on?

    Well Swansea keeper Andrew Fisher is called into action to tip away Billy Mitchell's strike.

    Burnley 1-1 Hull

    A fascinating encounter at Turf Moor and Ozan Tufan is in the mix again for Hull having given them the lead in the first half.

    He plays through Oscar Estupinan but his final effort is weighted too heavily and is cleared.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:52 British Summer Time 16 August 2022

    QPR 0-1 Blackpool

    QPR trail Blackpool at the break in tonight's late kick-off in the Championship.

    Josh Bowler's curling effort just before the break puts the visitors ahead.

  10. RED CARD Tom Lees (Huddersfield)published at 20:50 British Summer Time 16 August 2022

    Norwich 2-0 Huddersfield

    Things are looking bleak at Carrow Road for Huddersfield.

    Josh Sargent is played through on goal and Tom Lees drags him back. That is the definition of a professional foul and the Terriers centre-half has to go.

    Two down and a man down now for Danny Schofield's team.

  11. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:49 British Summer Time 16 August 2022

    GOAL: QPR 0-1 Blackpoolpublished at 20:46 British Summer Time 16 August 2022

    Josh Bowler (45+1 mins)

    Blimey.

    Just as play restarts, Blackpool take the lead against QPR!

    Josh Bowler races into the box, sees his initial strike blocked but it rebounds back into his path and he sends a quickfire curling left-footed strike into the bottom corner.

    QPR 0-0 Blackpool

    There's a lengthy break in play, now.

    Kenneth Paal is down receiving treatment after taking an elbow to the face. Could be some time added onto the first half.

  14. Postpublished at 20:41 British Summer Time 16 August 2022

    QPR 0-0 Blackpool

    Still some time to go in the first half in our late kick-off in the Championship.

    Lyndon Dykes picks up the ball and races goalbound but the QPR man can't find the net and Blackpool hold on again.

  17. 'Sargent and Sinani have been fantastic'published at 20:37 British Summer Time 16 August 2022

    HT: Norwich 2-0 Huddersfield

    Jeremy Goss
    Former Norwich midfielder on BBC Radio Norfolk

    Norwich are dominant and in control of the game. There have been no problems at the back, chances have been created throughout the half'

    Sargent and Sinani have been fantastic, they've repaid Dean Smith's faith in them to bring them into the team.

    If they play like that in the second half, they'll score another couple of goals.

  18. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 16 August 2022

    George Hall's first senior goal has Birmingham in front against the Hornets.

  19. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35 British Summer Time 16 August 2022

    Swansea 2-0 Millwall

    A cracker of a first half for Swansea who took the lead against Millwall through Ryan Manning in just 52 seconds.

    Michael Obafemi doubled their lead after 12 minutes and they've looked comfortable ever since.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34 British Summer Time 16 August 2022

    Preston 0-0 Rotherham

    Plenty of chances in this one but the first half ends goalless at Deepdale.
