  1. GREAT SAVE!published at 89 mins

    Sheff Utd 4-1 Cardiff

    Billy Sharp has eyes wide as he is teed up at the top of the box.

    The striker tries to bend home Sheffield United's fifth of the day, but Ryan Allsop is able to beat the shot away.

    Ciaran Clark (85 mins)

    A corner is worked deep to the back post and causes panic in Cardiff's defence.

    A scrum of bodies go up and Blades substitute Ciaran Clark manages to poke home from point-blank range.

    This has turned into a thumping.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 82 mins

    Sheff Utd 3-1 Cardiff

    Sheffield United with a number of changes now that the win is beyond doubt.

    Daniel Jebbison come on for Iliman Ndiaye, just moment after he added a third for the Blades.

    Billy Sharp has also come on for Oliver McBurnie, while before the goal Ciaran Clark replaced Jayden Bogle and Oliver Norwood came on for Tommy Doyle.

    Iliman Ndiaye (80 mins)

    Iliman Ndiaye is gifted Sheffield United's third.

    Mark McGuinness made a mess of an attempted pass back for goalkeeper Ryan Allsop, and Ndiaye is onto the ball in a flash.

    He does wonderfully well to beat the keeper in a one-on-one before firing home into an empty net.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 75 mins

    Sheff Utd 2-1 Cardiff

    Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom makes his first change with John Fleck coming on for James McAtee.

    It was a great shift from the on-loan Manchester City man, who scored the equaliser in the first half.

  6. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 73 mins

    Sheff Utd 2-1 Cardiff

    Cardiff City's Connor Wickham rattles the woodwork with a thunderous effort from the edge of the box.

    The visitors had the hosts stumbling over themselves to clear the danger after Andy Rinomhota tested Adam Davies with dipping shot.

    After Wickham was able to work the ball back into a dangerous area before Davies could collect, it was cleared only as far as the substitute who then went for goal himself.

    Sheff Utd 2-1 Cardiff

    Some neat movement on the left between Jaden Philogene and Joe Ralls eventually sees the ball worked into the box.

    The ball falls for Ryan Wintle at the top of box and he has a shot blocked.

    The danger isn't over yet and the visitors force a corner. Sheffield United, however, deal with the in-swinger in from the right.

    Sheff Utd 2-1 Cardiff

    Jaden Philogene has been a constant source of positivity for Cardiff today.

    He cuts in from the left and while still a long way out, he goes for goal from distance.

    Adam Davies is untroubled as it whistles off target, but with the Bluebirds battling relegation they will want to throw whatever they can at Sheffield United the longer this game goes on.

  9. Cambridge double leadpublished at 13:58 British Summer Time 15 April 2023

    Cambridge Utd 2-0 Peterborough

    In today's other lunchtime League One derby, Cambridge United have just gone 2-0 up against Peterborough.

    A fine team move saw Sam Smith finish superbly off the inside of the post.

    This will be a big three points in Cambridge's battle to avoid the drop if they can hold on for another 25 minutes against their play-off chasing rivals.

    BBC Sport at St James Park

    Plymouth Argyle's players and fans are in dreamland after a win over their biggest rivals.

    Matt Butcher's deflected winner has sealed it here at St James Park.

    It wasn't pretty, but at this time of the season it's all about three points and that's what Argyle have got.

    No matter what happens elsewhere today Steven Schumacher's side will end the evening in the automatic promotion places.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 62 mins

    Sheff Utd 2-1 Cardiff

    Before the corner comes in Cardiff make their second change with Connor Wickham coming on for Kion Etete.

    After the change is made, Sheffield deal with the ball in from the right.

  12. Postpublished at 61 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-1 Cardiff

    Jack Robinson makes a crucial defensive header ahead of Sory Kaba.

    The ball in from Joe Ralls was on the money, but Robinson was all over it.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 57 mins

    Sheff Utd 2-1 Cardiff

    Jack Baldock takes a heavy touch in the box with his back to goal.

    The ball gets away from him and, in his over exuberance to try win it back, he goes flying into Andy Rinomhota.

    Baldock catches the Cardiff man with the ball and is shown a yellow card.

    Jack Robinson

    It's a superb diving header from Jack Robinson to put Sheffield United ahead for the first time today.

    It's a bullet of a finish, but the cross from Tommy Doyle from way out on the right is a beauty after his initial corner was cleared.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 53 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-1 Cardiff

    Callum O'Dowda is shown a yellow when he clips James McAtee outside the area.

    The free-kick comes to nothing, but the hosts have a corner now.

  16. Postpublished at 52 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-1 Cardiff

    Cardiff are still lurking and threatening to find a second.

    Perry Ng lifts the ball to Kion Etete, but the forward can't control it and the chance is gone.

  17. Postpublished at 49 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-1 Cardiff

    Sheffield United fans are vocal in their displeasure when Iliman Ndiaye has a fist full of shirt grabbed by Mark McGuinness after the ball was worked long to him.

    Ndiaye, himself, doesn't protest after no action is taken but he certainly looked impeded there.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 46 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-1 Cardiff

    There was one change at half-time, with Cardiff calling on Callum O'Dowda from the bench to replace Jack Simpson.

    It seemed a likely change for a while, with Simpson on a yellow card after just a few minutes. He also took an awkward fall in the first half.

    HT: Sheff Utd 1-1 Cardiff

    Cardiff are the lowest scorers in the Championship this season, but will need at least one goal after the break to put distance between themselves and the relegation places.

    The second half is just moments away...
