    GOAL: West Brom 1-1 Swanseapublished at 16:09 British Summer Time 1 October 2022

    Jake Livermore (48 mins)

    Swansea scored early in the first half and West Brom have done so to equalise in the second!

    It's Jake Livermore who seizes on a loose ball in the Swansea box following a Baggies corner and he slots it past Steven Benda.

    Plenty of time left for either side to go on to find a winner - game on!

    Ponderous, no shots on target in the first half tells the story really. Pace of the game needs picking up and some.

    Rotherham 0-1 Wigan

    Mike Minay
    BBC Radio Manchester

    Wigan have had the bigger and better chances.

    What's interesting is as soon as the half-time whistle went the Tics players ran into the dressing room whilst the Rotherham players crowded around the referee.

    They're not happy and that's the difference in this game.

    It's going to take a real effort from the Millers to turn this one around.

    Sunderland 0-0 Preston

    Sunderland close to taking the lead just before half-time, but Freddie Woodman makes a big save to deny Elliot Embleton.

    The former Newcastle goalkeeper proving an obstacle to the Black Cats.

    Blackpool 0-1 Norwich

    Norwich will be wondering how they are not more than one goal up right now.

    Another Marcelino Nunez free-kick results in another let off for Blackpool.

    Grant Hanley meets the ball in but his diving header goes just wide. There is less than five minutes of the first-half remaining.

    West Brom 0-1 Swansea

    The Baggies are really pushing for an equaliser as we approach the break.

    Grady Diangana is at the heart of most of their attacking work and has gone close on a few occasions, and also set up Brandon Thomas-Asante who saw his shot saved by Steven Benda.

    Can they find that breakthrough before half-time or will Swansea take their lead into the changing rooms?

    Blackpool 0-1 Norwich

    And again, Norwich see an effort hit the woodwork.

    This time Marcelino Nunez sends a free-kick onto the cross bar from about 25 yards out.

    Blackpool are living dangerously.

    Sunderland 0-0 Preston

    Tony Mowbray has got Sunderland playing some great stuff since he arrived at the Stadium of Light to replace Alex Neil.

    There is some super inter-play between Elliot Embleton, Alex Pritchard and Patrick Roberts, but Roberts can't provide the finish as he shoots over.

    Blackpool 0-1 Norwich

    Kenny McLean goes close to putting Norwich two up at Blackpool.

    He rises highest to meet a corner and appears to see his header brush the outside of the post.

    GOAL: Reading 2-0 Huddersfieldpublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 1 October 2022

    Lee Nicholls (og) (36 mins)

    Oh dear, things are going from bad to worse for the Terriers.

    Jeff Hendrick makes a break down the wing before sending a cross towards the six yard box, goalkeeper Lee Nicholls has to get something on the cross with both Andy Carroll and Lucas Joao lurking, but he only succeeds in diverting the ball into his own goal.

    Sunderland 0-0 Preston

    The Black Cats are still without strikers Ross Stewart and Ellis Simms, but Elliot Embleton has been doing a good job in their absence.

    Here, he nearly gets on the end of Aji Alese's ball, but he is inches away from making the crucial contact at the back post.
