    GOAL: Wigan 1-1 Coventrypublished at 21:28 Greenwich Mean Time 14 March 2023

    Kyle McFadzean og (83 mins)

    Wigan are level! Although technically it's Coventry who scored for them...

    Will Keane plays the ball wide to Ryan Nyambe in the box and as he crosses back in,Kyle McFadzean's outstretched leg deflects it right into his own net.

    Wigan won't care, they're in the running for a needed point now.

    Wigan 0-1 Coventry

    Most of the activity has been going Coventry's way during the second-half, although Wigan have just had a chance to draw level.

    Callum Lang picks out Will Keane in the box with a cross right in front of the goal but Coventry's defenders are there to cover it before he can really get a shot away.

    Scott Fraser has rounded off a lovely move to grab Charlton's fourth and extinguish any hopes of a Morecambe comeback. It is now 4-1 to the Addicks.

    Further south in Lancashire, it is now 10 v 10. Portsmouth goalscorer Joe Pigott has seen red for a challenge on Accrington sub goalkeeper Toby Savin, but the visitors are looking good for the points, leading 2-0.

    Rotherham are pushing forward to try and find an equaliser.

    10 minutes to go.

    Blackpool 5-1 QPR

    Tough, tough night for QPR and boss Gareth Ainsworth.

    The former Wycombe boss got his first win as R's gaffer on Saturday but tonight's showing will leave him in no doubt about the size of the task he has on his hands.

    Tempers have spilled over between Northampton and Mansfield. A challenge from Stephen Quinn has seen the Stags' midfielder sent off and both benches squaring up to each other with Quinn having to be escorted down the tunnel.

    Elsewhere Newport have equalised at home to AFC Wimbledon, Harry Charsley with the leveller.

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Stoke

    Quieter start to the second half at the Riverside.

    The home side need a win to close the gap on second-placed Sheffield United to a point.

    Riley McGree tests away goalkeeper Jack Bonham with a free kick.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Watford 3-0 Birminghampublished at 21:17 Greenwich Mean Time 14 March 2023

    Britt Assombalonga (74 mins)

    Watford all-but secure the first win of Chris Wilder's tenure and it's Britt Assombalonga who makes it three with his first goal for the club.

    Ismaël Koné breaks down the right and plays the ball into the box to Assombalonga, who gets a bit of luck as his effort hits John Ruddy but still goes in.

    Blackpool 5-1 QPR

    QPR make a trio of subs and they've now made all five of their allotted changes.

    It's just damage limitations now.

    A glimmer hope for Morecambe with a goal from Donald Love thanks to an excellent finish, but Charlton still lead 3-1 at Mazuma Stadium.

    But a second Portsmouth goal from Reeco Hackett may be enough to see off ten-man Accrington. A super goal from Hackett as he finds the roof of the net.

    The away sides are now all two goals to the good as a close-range header from Chem Campbell has doubled Wycombe's lead at Bristol Rovers.

    No, they're not. A seventh goal at the Pirelli and Peterborough are now winning 5-2 against Burton with Joe Ward getting his name on the scoresheet.

    Wigan 0-1 Coventry

    Wigan really need to get something out of this match tonight, especially with Blackpool certain to take all three points.

    Shaun Maloney has made a triple change with half an hour to go to try and get his side back level.

  12. Second halfpublished at 21:04 Greenwich Mean Time 14 March 2023

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Stoke

    Back under way at the Riverside.

    Can the home side find the winner that would close the gap on second-placed Sheffield United to a point?

    Rotherham 1-2 Preston

    Rotherham go to their bench and make a triple change as they look to get back into it.

    The Blackpool result would leave the Millers six points clear of the bottom three should they lose this.

  14. BLACKPOOL HIT THE WOODWORKpublished at 21:02 Greenwich Mean Time 14 March 2023

    Blackpool 5-1 QPR

    QPR would still be seven points clear of the bottom three with this result but how damaging might this be? Their goal difference is taking a battering and could be worse...

    The Tangerines nearly make it SIX but Morgan Rogers' shot comes back off the post.

    GOAL: Millwall 2-1 Swanseapublished at 21:01 Greenwich Mean Time 14 March 2023

    Ryan Manning (58 mins)

    Swansea are right back in this.

    No sooner had they gone 2-0 down, Ryan Manning pulls one right back for his side.

    It's not pretty, with the ball scrambling around in the box for a while before Millwall half clear it to Matt Grimes, who strikes from distance and it takes a deflection off Manning and goes in.

    Two for Jonson Clarke-Harris and four now for Peterborough. It's 4-1 for Posh and that may be curtains for Burton.

    A 21st of this League One campaign for Clarke-Harris. As ever, no lack of goals in the third tier for Peterborough.

    But they are leaky at the back! Jonny Smith has pulled one back for the home side. It's back to 4-2.

  17. goal

    GOAL: Millwall 2-0 Swanseapublished at 20:59 Greenwich Mean Time 14 March 2023

    Andreas Voglsammer (55 mins)

    After a quiet opening 45 minutes Millwall are really up and running in this game now.

    Swansea keeper Andy Fisher won't want to see this again and put out a hand to block Andreas Voglsammer's shot which doesn't have much behind it. But he misses and it goes straight into the net.

    Rotherham 1-2 Preston

    Everton loanee Tom Cannon comes close to his second and his side's third but his shot *ahem* cannons back off the crossbar.

    Watford 2-0 Birmingham

    Scott Hogan was one of two changes made for Birmingham at half-time and the striker will be kicking himself after missing this chance with what must have been one of his first touches of the ball.

    Krystian Bielik feeds Hogan through and in a one-on-one with Daniel Bachmann somehow Hogan drags his shot completely wide of goal.
