Stoke's front two link up excellently to so nearly double their lead.

Tyrese Campbell's cross is met by poacher Dwight Gayle, who heads agonisingly wide.

Preston need to find another gear.

Sheffield United make a triple change as they look to get back into this after seeing their 2-0 lead completely cast asunder.

Oli McBurnie, Rhian Brewster and Anel Ahmedhodzic are all on.

Middlesbrough were well and truly up against it after going 2-0 down early on in this, but that Duncan Watmore goal just before the break has changed the complexion of this game completely.

The away side are hanging on just now.

Is the comeback on for MK Dons? Will Grigg has pulled one back for the home side although they still trail Plymouth 3-1.

Cheltenham have an even bigger mountain to climb although a Liam Sercombe penalty means it is only 4-1 to Bristol Rovers.

No way back for Exeter, though. Oxford are now four up thanks to Kyle Joseph's second of the game.

No goals in East London but Northampton's Ben Fox has been shown a red card away to Leyton Orient.

Paul Simpson's Carlisle are on a roll at the moment. Jack Stretton has put them two up at home to Doncaster as they close in on a ninth game unbeaten.

Cardiff think they're level but the cheers turn to groans as Callum Robinson's strike is ruled out for offside.

As you can imagine Bluebird fans aren't best pleased.

What a day this has been for Burnley so far.

They started the day in fourth but, as it stands, will be going top at full-time today.

Michael Obafemi sends a shot over the bar as the away side look for an unlikely route back into this game.

Grady Diangana just takes too many touches.

He should've just leathered it and hit the ball first time, and he knows it.

West Brom go close to doubling their advantage in the opening minute of the second half but Grady Diangana can't apply the finishing touch to Jed Wallace's cutback.

Big half coming up here for the visitors.

Accrington's Sean McConville knows he's missed two penalties, so you don't need to be saying anything to him in the changing room at half-time.

But what I would be expecting is a positive response from him in the second half.

We're back under way across the leagues.

Here we go.
