    Swansea 0-1 Norwich

    Norwich have led since the opening minute but my word have they got away with one there!

    A cross to the far post finds Kyle Naughton unmarked but he sends the header down into the ground and it bounces up and over the bar from close-range.

    A case of the wrong man being in the right place!

    Norwich's lead survives...just.

    Colchester are a goal down at Sutton and are a man down now too, Ossama Ashley has seen red for a second booking with well over half-an-hour remaining in the late-running match.

    A blow for Blackpool as Gary Madine is seen to by the physio. But he's unable to continue.

    He's replaced by CJ Hamilton.

    Stoke 2-2 Cardiff

    Cardiff go very close to regaining the lead the took very early on!

    Stoke goalkeeper Jack Bonham pushes Mark Harris' cross into the danger area where it hits Kion Etete before rolling agonisingly wide.

    Etete had no time to react - it just hit him - but that was a matter of inches!

    There is hope for Tranmere who have halved the deficit at Grimsby. Jake Burton has charged down an attempted clearance and sent the ball into the net to make it 2-1 with still more than 20 minutes to play.

    Blackpool 0-0 Birmingham

    Blackpool come into this game off the back of four consecutive defeats just before the World Cup break.

    They've offered one shot on target against Birmingham today and there's not much to report in the second half.

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Huddersfield

    Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in eight in the league but they are going to need to score in the final half-hour to keep that run going.

    Jake Caprice has taken advantage of some poor defending to fire Exeter City ahead at St James' Park with a long-range drive which went in off the post.

    GOAL: Stoke 2-2 Cardiffpublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2022

    Callum Robinson (58 mins)

    And now they are level!

    Cardiff had been pushing for a leveller and they've found it shortly before the hour mark through Callum Robinson.

    The visitors had just made a triple change and it's paid immediate dividends as two of the substitutes, Mark Harris and Kion Etete, combine with the ball eventually finding its way to the Republic of Ireland international to apply the finish.

    Who's going to win this one?

    Millwall 1-1 Wigan

    Danny McNamara has just come agonisingly close to giving Millwall the lead against Wigan and in style.

    He controls the ball and tries his luck from 25 yards out but his effort goes over the bar.

    Stoke 2-1 Cardiff

    This one started like a runaway train as Cardiff went ahead after six minutes before Stoke hit back twice in quick-succession to lead 2-1.

    No goals since then and it's all settled down a bit but let's hope we see a few more goals before the final whistle.

    Joe Ralls has just tested Jack Bonham in the Stoke goal as the Bluebirds probe for an equaliser.
