    Rotherham United 1-1 Millwall

    Still all square although Rotherham have had the best and only chance so far of this second half to take the lead.

    Oliver Rathbone picked out Chiedozie Ogbene but his effort goes wide and out for a corner, the result of which also comes to nothing.

    GOAL: Watford 1-1 Swanseapublished at 21:01 British Summer Time 5 October 2022

    Olivier Ntcham (52 minutes)

    The Watford defenders let Olivier Ntcham get too close.

    He collected the ball, turned and fired into the bottom corner.

    His shot may have taken a little deflection on its way in.

    Hull 1-1 Wigan

    Will Keane goes down low to get onto the end of Max Power's cross into the box as Wigan chase a second.

    However, Hull keeper Nathan Baxter is on hand to make the save.

  4. CHANCE!published at 20:58 British Summer Time 5 October 2022

    Burnley 0-0 Stoke

    Stoke striker Tyrese Campbell tried to chip it over the Burnley keeper but Arijanet Muric stands tall and takes the ball in the chest.

    Campbell knew he should have done better and kicks the turf in frustration - should have hit the target.

    And at the other end it's the Stoke keeper Joe Bursik who's doing his best Big Hero Six impression (one for the Pixar fans) and making himself big to deny Burnley.

  5. CLOSE!published at 20:56 British Summer Time 5 October 2022

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Birmingham City

    Only a few minutes into this half and both teams have had decent chances.

    Tahith Chong saw a low shot saved by Zack Steffen for the Blues, while Jonny Howson set up Hayden Hackney for Boro, but his effort was just too high and crept over the bar.

    Hull 1-1 Wigan

    Hull have started brightly in the second half against Wigan and should be ahead.

    Oscar Estupinan fires from the edge of the box but his bouncing shot is off target.

    Burnley 0-0 Stoke

    Burnley may have dominated possession and had more shots on target but Stoke have got themselves into decent positions.

    They're just lacking a little when it comes to that final ball. If they can tidy that up they could be straight back in this game.

    In other news from the EFL today, stalwart midfielder Lee Tomlin called time on his career due to injury, after more than 500 games and a career that took him from non-league to the Premier League.

    The 33-year-old's former teams include Rushden & Diamonds, Peterborough, Middlesbrough, Bristol City, Cardiff City and Bournemouth and he only this summer joined Doncaster in League Two.

    But despite playing 10 times so far this season, Tomlin said he has been receiving treatment and the toll it's taken on his body has become too much.

    "In the last month, just waking up and taking the amount of painkillers I've had to take has got too much," Tomlin said.

    "I want to play football for as long as I possibly can but it's just too much on my body every day and it's grinding me down."

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:45 British Summer Time 5 October 2022

    Burnley 0-0 Stoke

    Burnley have had the better chances in the opening 45 minutes at Turf Moor.

    Nathan Tella looked to be through for a one-on-one with the Stoke keeper early but was pressured into a poor shot off target by defender Dujon Sterling.

    The Clarets leading goal scorer this season, Jay Rodriguez, came close with a long range effort that rattled the crossbar.

  12. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:44 British Summer Time 5 October 2022

    Preston 1-0 West Brom

    Preston ought to be two goals up against West Brom, now.

    Sean Maguire sees a delivery deflected into the path of Alistair McCann whose effort beats Baggies keeper Alex Palmer and strikes the post.

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:41 British Summer Time 5 October 2022

    Watford 1-0 Swansea

    Watford look like the better team through 45 minutes despite a bright start from an energised Swansea.

    The Hornets counter attack has been the difference, catching the Swans on the back foot, and racing past them to create decent chances on goal.

    Ismaila Sarr's goal from inside the six-yard box has Watford in-front at the halfway point at Vicarage Road.

    So far so good for Middlesbrough who have a 1-0 lead over Birmingham at the break thanks to Chuba Akpom's goal from a corner.

  18. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 20:34 British Summer Time 5 October 2022

    Watford 1-0 Swansea

    Michael Obafemi has the ball in the back of the net but the flag is up!

    His shot came off the back of a free kick from just outside the box that was saved, but the keeper couldn't hang on.

    Inches offside. Swansea's search for an equaliser continues.

    Now that's what you call a goal.

    Zian Flemming picks up the ball on the edge of the box and hits an absolute flier with his left-foot from distance straight past Viktor Johansson into the top corner .

    Pretty sure it would have been on its way out of the stadium if the net wasn't there to stop it.

    Hull 1-1 Wigan

    Just over five minutes remaining in the first half and Hull have almost taken the lead against Wigan.
