    Rotherham haven't had much to shout about this afternoon with only the one shot on target at St Andrew's.

    Viktor Johansson has also just produced two big saves to keep the score at 2-0. He raced off his line for the first to deny Scott Hogan who had got through on goal and then pushed a header from Lukas Jutkiewicz over the bar.

    Carlisle could be slipping down to third after being pegged back at Swindon.

    Tyrese Shade has hauled the hosts level.

    Gillingham have doubled their lead over Tranmere, and Sam Hoskins has pulled promotion-chasing Northampton level at struggling Hartlepool.

    Barnsley are one of the form teams in League One and are on track for a ninth win in their last 10.

    Mads Pedersen's thumping header has doubled their lead over second-placed Plymouth.

    Leaders Sheffield Wednesday remain 1-0 ahead at Portsmouth but will play the last 10 minutes with 10 men after Dominic Iorfa was sent off.

    Coventry 1-1 Hull

    What a difference a goal makes.

    Coventry go for it and Josh Eccles whizzes a shot just wide of the post. Curling agonisingly wide.

    The all-action midfielder then proves his value at the opposite end, stepping in masterfully to deny Regan Slater as he gets a shot away.

    GOAL: Burnley 3-0 Wiganpublished at 16:38 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March 2023

    Lyle Foster (76 mins)

    Burnley make sure of three points with a third goal, and it's Lyle Foster who finds the back of the net with a thumping effort.

    It's a really damaging third to concede for Wigan, who are already bottom of the Championship and now have a minus-four worse-off goal difference from Huddersfield above them and six worse than Blackpool.

    Crawley are nailed on to end their winless eight-match run as Jordan Mutch puts them 3-0 up against Harrogate.

    It could put them four points clear of bottom side Rochdale who have fallen behind 1-0 at Grimsby.

    And Bradford's hopes of closing on the top three have been checked as Newport have drawn level.

    Matty Godden (71 mins)

    Parity for Coventry and it comes after Hull had wasted a string of chances to add to their lead.

    Matty Godden scored it, but the goal adds so much to strike partner Viktor Gyokeres who held up under pressure and found the crucial pass.

    Big goal.

    GOAL: Swansea 1-3 Middlesbroughpublished at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March 2023

    Chuba Akpom pen (77 mins)

    Goal number 23 for the Championship's leading marksman, Chuba Akpom keeping his cool to steer a spot-kick past Swansea keeper Andy Fisher and all but seal Middlesbrough's three-points.

    Riley McGree was lopped down. Up stepped Akpom. Could be decisive.

    GOAL: Preston 1-0 Cardiffpublished at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March 2023

    Tom Cannon (68 mins)

    Deadlock broken!

    Tom Cannon has given Preston the lead and a rare goal at home for fans to enjoy, despite Cardiff enjoying more of the chances in front of goal during this second half.

    Greg Cunningham chips the ball into the box for Cannon to get onto and he beats his defender and strikes it past Jak Alnwick into the net.

    Swansea 1-2 Middlesbrough

    Zach Steffen makes a crucial save to retain Middlesbrough's lead, denying Jamie Paterson, who has just come on.

    Swansea still pressing. Not over by a long shot.

    Moments after Plymouth fall behind, Ipswich have taken control at Bolton.

    Cameron Burgess has powered in a header to double the lead, and as it stands, Ipswich are moving within two points of the Pilgrims.

    Coventry 0-1 Hull

    Hull sub Malcolm Ebiowei comes close to doubling the lead after he was played in by Jean Michel Seri.

    Wide of the target.

    That could have sealed it.

    Big goal here in South Yorkshire as second-placed Plymouth fall behind at Barnsley.

    Adam Phillips has got the breakthrough for the Tykes who are unbeaten in their last nine.

    Promotion-chasing Argyle have lost their last two of their last three on the road.

    Derby have gone 3-1 up at hapless Oxford to improve their play-off prospects, and bottom side Forest Green have fallen further behind, 3-1, to Bristol Rovers.

    Swansea 1-2 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough striker Chuba Akpom is seeking his 23rd of the season but has been unable to sneak the ball past Swansea's Andy Fisher as it stands.

    First he bamboozled Joel Latibeaudiere before firing wide, and then Fisher made a good save to deny him from a Boro counter-attack.

    Middlesbrough are grateful that Swans midfielder Ryan Manning could only push his chance wide at the other end.

    Preston 0-0 Cardiff

    Cardiff are knocking on the door of the Preston goal at the moment.

    Some good play from Callum O'Dowda sees him break into the box but his shot is blocked.

    Perry Ng then strikes a strong free-kick that forces Freddie Woodman to dive low and save in the bottom corner.

    QPR 1-0 Watford

    QPR have made a change as they look to protect their 1-0 lead over Watford.

    Lyndon Dykes has been replaced by Albert Adomah, with Dykes playing about an hour on his return after nearly two months out with illness.

    Burnley 2-0 Wigan

    Burnley have stamped on the metaphorical accelerator, roared on by a partisan crowd at Turf Moor, and Wigan are clinging on.

    First Ben Amos is brave to deny Ashley Barnes from close in, then Anass Zaroury comes close, but his fierce shot goes just wide.

    The third looks likely.

    Carlton Morris is now up to 15 goals for the season for Luton, his best ever return in a single season.

    Sheffield United have responded to conceding by bringing striker and captain Billy Sharp off the bench.

    Preston 0-0 Cardiff

    Preston and Cardiff are not known for their prolific goalscoring this season.

    Thomas Cannon attempts to ensure this match doesn't end with Preston's 10th 0-0 draw of the season but his effort from close range forces a save out Jak Alnwick.

    At the other end, Jaden Philogene just misses the top corner with his own shot from the edge of the box.
