Josh Gordon has given Barrow the lead at Plough Lane against Wimbledon.
Newport are now two up at Harrogate thanks to a Kayne Ramsey own goal.
Oscar Estupinan (11 mins)
That man again!
Colombian striker Oscar Estupinan has his fifth goal of the season with a close-range finish on the rebound and Hull City have the lead.
Reminder this is just Coventry's third game of the season because of problems with their pitch.
Tino Anjorin (11 mins)
The home side take the lead!
Chelsea loanee Tino Anjorin smashes home from long range to put the Terriers 1-0 up.
Blackburn 0-0 Stoke
Stoke nearly take the lead as Dwight Gayle intercepts the ball high up the pitch and plays in strike partner Liam Delap.
The on-loan Manchester City man can't convert.

Teddy Bishop has opened the scoring for Lincoln at home to Fleetwood.

A George Moncur penalty has given leaders Leyton Orient the early lead to home to Hartlepool.
Newport have taken the lead at Harrogate through Omar Bogle.
Danny Johnson has opened the scoring for Walsall at home to Grimsby.
Elsewhere Tranmere have gone in front at home to Colchester thanks to Josh Hawkes.
Blackburn 0-0 Stoke
As was expected, Alex Neil is in the stands at Ewood Park today before his appointment as Stoke boss is confirmed.
The Potters will hope he can have the same kind of success with them as he enjoyed with Sunderland.
Josh Bowler (7 mins)
Despite Bristol City getting the better start with that early shot that hit the post, it's home side Blackpool who have taken the lead at Bloomfield Road.
Dominic Thompson plays the ball out the back and it's Gary Madine who does the best of the work to hold the ball and set the goal up.
Josh Bowler's shot was given a helping hand into the net, too, taking a deflection off Bristol City defender to send it past Dan Bentley.

Bottom side Burton have made a great start at Cambridge with Gassan Ahadme giving them the lead in the first minute.
Blackpool 0-0 Bristol City
Talk about fast start...!
Nahki Wells almost gets a goal for Bristol City inside the first 60 seconds of the match.
Joe Williams floats the ball perfectly into the box, which Andi Weimann chests down and sets up for Wells. His foot connects well with the ball but his shot is just inches wide and ricochets off the post.

Here we go then, it's three o'clock which means whistles are ringing up on football pitches up and down the country.

We've also got a full schedule of League Two matches coming our way this afternoon.
Ipswich Town v Barnsley (15:00 BST)

Presenter, Squad Goals
An unbeaten start in League One has seen Ipswich climb to the top of the table. Kieran McKenna was an unknown quantity in league management when he arrived from the Manchester United coaching set-up last season, but his methods are clearly taking shape.
At Portman Road they've won all three of their games in all competitions and it feels like there's a confidence in Suffolk that we haven't seen for some time.
Former Barnsley man Conor Chaplin was one of the stars in their 3-0 at Shrewsbury last week. Two goals and an assist is a great return after only five games. He's exactly the sort of player the Tykes would love to have right now.
Manager Michael Duff will be hoping to follow McKenna's blueprint, once he has had a chance to make his mark.
A lot is resting in 22-year-old Josh Benson. He was instrumental in their 3-0 win against Bristol Rovers prior to this week's defeats. The former Burnley man has three goals from midfield this season.
I'm sure the away team will be set up to not be beaten, but let's see if McKenna has the magic to crack open Duff’s side.
We've got a full list of League One fixtures today and here's what else we have coming up at 3pm:

All games kick off at 15:00 BST
We're still not finished with the Championship fixtures this afternoon.
Unbeaten Watford host a QPR side looking for their first away win of the season; a buoyant Bristol City travel to Blackpool looking for three consecutive wins for the first time since November 2020, while Cardiff and Preston will be hoping they can at least get the ball in the net today, having only scored four goals between them in 10 league matches so far.
Here's the rest of today's 3pm kick offs:
Wigan v Burnley (15:00 BST)

BBC Squad Goals
Two of the Championship's newbies face off at the DW Stadium.
Leam Richardson’s men come into this off the back of their first win of the season last weekend and, with Wigan not partaking in midweek Carabao Cup action after being knocked out in round one by Fleetwood Town, could they use this as an advantage of being fresher than their Lancastrian counterparts?
Burnley, on the other hand, secured a place in the third round place of the cup on Tuesday night thanks to a win at Shrewsbury.
It’s been a very busy and productive summer so far for Burnley and manager Vincent Kompany, with 14 players making a switch to Turf Moor.
Both teams' start to the season can be pretty much mirrored, with Wigan having drawn three of their four Championship games so far and Burnley also drawing three of five league games. Both teams are still finding their feet in this division but one thing seems certain, these matches always provide spice.
Middlesbrough v Swansea (15:00 BST)
The new season has not got started the way Middlesbrough or Swansea will have wanted.
Boro have yet to win in the league and boss Chris Wilder was furious after the defeat last weekend to Reading, saying after that some of his players should be "looking over their shoulders".
Brazilian striker Rodrigo Muniz arrived on loan from Fulham this week along with former Brighton defender Matt Clarke, and the latter makes his debut from the start. Still, if they go without another win that will be equal the club's worst start since the 1984-85 season.
The Swans at least have one win under their belts, but were still booed by sections of their home crowd after the 2-0 loss to Luton last Saturday. And with little chance of additional signings this summer, the grumblings could get louder if results don't pick up, soon.
Cardiff v Preston (15:00 BST)
Dafydd Pritchard
BBC Sport Wales at Cardiff City Stadium
At a Cardiff City Stadium bathed in glorious sunshine, something's got to give in the Welsh capital this afternoon.
Cardiff are aiming to make it three wins from three home games in the Championship but they're up against an unbeaten Preston side who've yet to concede in the league this season, albeit scoring only one goal.
Whatever happens today, one of those records is going to go.
Hull v Coventry (15:00 BST)
They say the table doesn't lie in football but sometimes it doesn't tell you the whole story.
Problems with Coventry City's pitch mean that they have played just twice all season, with their three scheduled home games all having been postponed.
Fortunately for them independent sport turf experts, appointed by the English Football League, have determined the surface is now playable after remedial work and they will host their first game of the campaign on Wednesday.
Hull City made a flying start to the season with two wins and two draws in their first four before going down 5-2 at West Brom last week.
