    Andy Lyons does well to get on the end of a long ball in towards the Birmingham box.

    A better start to the second half for the Seasiders.

    Bristol City 1-0 Rotherham

    Rotherham had to dig in after going behind quite early on in this.

    They have the first opening of the second half but Richard Wood's header is straight at Max O'Leary in the home goal.

    Norwich 0-2 Swansea

    Inches from 3-0!

    Joel Piroe finds Ryan Manning with a great ball but the shot is narrowly wide.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Coventry 1-0 Reading

    Coventry nearly double their money right on half-time but Viktor Gyokeres sees his shot come back off the post.

    Let-off for Reading.

  9. League Two latestpublished at 15:45 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Dominic Telford knows his way to the goal net and has scored a potentially season defining goal to put Crawley ahead of Hartlepool in what is pretty much a relegation play-off.

    If Hartlepool lose it would leave them on the brink – six points from safety with two games left - but their relegation can't be confirmed today.

    Wigan 1-1 Millwall

    How have Wigan responded to that Millwall equaliser knowing that victory is the minimum they need to avoid relegation?

    Well it's all Millwall at the minute. Callum Styles tries to get onto the end of a ball across the face of goal but it sails past him just before he can work onto it.

  11. RED CARD: Sam McCallum (Norwich)published at 15:42 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Norwich 0-2 Swansea

    It goes from back to worse for the Canaries.

    Liam Cullen is tracking onto a ball floated over the defence for Swansea and Sam McCallum doesn't know he's there.

    He turns and barges Cullen over who was through on goal and it's clear red card.

    Joel Piroe then curls the free kick over from 25 yards out.

    Burnley 0-0 QPR

    Burnley putting the pressure on QPR now as they look to wrap up the Championship title today.

    Taylor Harwood-Bellis picks up the ball but he can't hit the target from close range.

  13. League Two latestpublished at 15:39 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Northampton are 2-1 ahead at home to Harrogate thanks to Sam Hoskins’ 21st goal of the season. They had trailed early on.

    Jacob Wakeling’s double has put Swindon 3-1 up away at AFC Wimbledon after they fell behind to Aaron Pierre’s early goal.

    Colchester have also come from behind to lead Sutton and promotion-chasing Carlisle lead Barrow in the Cumbrian derby.

    Lots of comebacks in League Two!

    Liam Cullen (39 mins)

    But now it is two for the Swans!

    Luke Cundle again running the show.

    One attempted cross is blocked, the second is perfect to the back post and Liam Cullen heads in from close range.

    Matty Godden (36 mins)

    It was feeling like a matter of time...

    The play-off hopefuls take the lead and it's not top-scorer Viktor Gyokeres or goalkeeper Ben Wilson!

    Matty Godden's firm shot gives Mark Robins' men the lead as they look to take sixth-spot.

    Another chance for Birmingham!

    Kevin Long heads just over the crossbar from close range as Blackpool continue to live dangerously.

    Hull 1-0 Watford

    Huge chance for Watford.

    Hull defender Sean McLoughlin tries to ease a long ball back to his goalkeeper with his head but doesn't get enough on it.

    Joao Pedro is clean through on goal, he lobs the goalkeeper but gets too much on it and it's over the bar!

  20. ouch!

    League One latestpublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    There's been an injury in Sheffield Wednesday's game against Exeter... and it's to the ref!

    Play is back under way at Hillsborough after a short break to replace the man in the middle.

    The Owls really need to win this game now after seeing their automatic promotion rivals Plymouth and Ipswich both take the lead.
