    It's a close range header from the Swansea striker but Patterson shows great reflexes.

    Blackburn 2-0 Rotherham

    Ben Brereton Diaz has got a taste for it now.

    Having just sealed his brace against Rotherham, he goes on the hunt for more.

    Scott Wharton sends him through on goal but he shoots early and fires off target.

    West Brom 0-0 Luton

    Luton are carrying a threat at The Hawthorns, even if the hosts have been the better side overall.

    Elijah Adebayo has a go - his shot is deflected and Alex Palmer needs to tip it over.

    Nervy times for Baggies fans.

    David Jamesson: You ask if the top two in the Championship actually want to win today. My Norwich friends tell me that despite their position they’ve been playing poorly. Frankly, the possibility of promotion is dreaded after the last few disastrous seasons.

    Blackburn - and Ben Brereton Diaz - double their tally against Rotherham.

    Sammie Szmodics puts in a fantastic cross and Diaz taps in at the back post.

    Christian Forino Joseph has given Wycombe the lead at Oxford in the delayed match in League One. They are in the final moments of the first half after the game was halted and the players taken off the pitch following a medical emergency in the stands.

    Could this be one of the results of the day? Exeter lead 2-0 at Barnsley, winners of their last four, thanks to a second goal from Fulham loanee Jay Stansfield.

    What a start for caretaker manager Kevin Nicholson and Jon Hill, who stepped-up after the departure of Matt Taylor to Rotherham this week.

    Elsewhere Port Vale have pegged back Derby, now managed by Taylor's predecessor Paul Warne. It's 1-1 there and it is also 1-1 at Morecambe where George Edmundson has given Ipswich some hope.

    Bristol Rovers are now 2-1 up against Cambridge at the Memorial Ground while MK Dons trail at Shrewsbury by the same scoreline, Zak Jules halving the deficit.

    Stoke 2-1 Sheffield United

    Stoke celebrate Phil Jagielka's goalImage source, PA Media

    These two sides served up a highly entertaining first half which ended with ex-Blade Phil Jagielka rolling back the years to rise highest and head home a corner to put the Potters in front.

    Jagielka (40y 52d) is the first player aged 40 or over to score in the Championship since Kevin Phillips (40y 233d) for Leicester against Blackpool in March 2014.

    Phillips scored a few more than Jagielka has in his career so that's not bad going for the Stoke defender!

    Coventry 0-1 Burnley

    Jay Rodriguez comes close to doubling Burnley's lead at Coventry.

    He shoots inside the box but manages to hit the side netting.

    Brereton Diaz with a textbook penalty. Not a lot else between them. Ogbene a threat on the counter.

    Ollie Rathbone looks a tidy player in midfield. Rovers don’t look particularly balanced with Hedges at right-wing back, need a second to be sure.

    Jordan Bowery has put Mansfield a goal to the good in the big game with plenty of play-off permutations at Barrow.

    Elsewhere Owen Moxon has levelled for Carlisle at Hartlepool while Walsall are back infront against AFC Wimbledon and Grimsby have doubled their lead against lowly Crawley.

    Do the Championship top two just not want to win today or something?!

    Emil Riis gets his second of the afternoon and continues his recent goalscoring form to put Preston ahead at Norwich.

    Sunderland back in it.

    A tactical shift has seen Jack Clarke moved to a more central role and it pays off almost immediately as he brings the ball forward and fires low into the bottom corner.

    Zian Flemming scored an absolute worldy last week, a peach of a goal, and you can see the boy's playing wiht confidence.

    He's got himself on the scoresheet again.

    Quieter start to the second-half than the first but Peterborough have broken the deadlock at home to Burton Albion through Jonson Clarke-Harris two minutes after the interval. Albion are rock-bottom in the live league table.

    West Brom 0-0 Luton

    West Brom start the second half like they did the first - on top.

    Brandon Thomas-Asante feeds Conor Townsend, whose low shot is smartly stopped at his near post by Luton keeper Ethan Horvath.

    It's that man again!

    We have our first goal of the second half and it's Zian Flemming's second of the afternoon.

    The Dutchman converts Jake Cooper's knockdown to register his third goal in two games.

    He'll be eyeing a hat-trick now but what of Middlesbrough, can they find a way back?
