    Oxford United have taken the lead against Cheltenham thanks to a neat volley from Tyler Goodrham six minutes before the break.

    That's just United's third goal in seven games but could go a long way to securing their safety. They'd have a three-point cushion over the drop zone, with a better goal difference, and face bottom two Accrington and Forest Green in their final two fixtures.

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Blackburn win a corner, making it two apiece.

    Once again it's delivered into the box and once again it's cleared away and eventually Lewis Travis slides in to keep the hosts from conceding a throw-in.

    Harry Pickering whips in a ball into the box and Tyrhys Dolan gets a head onto it but it's straight into the hands of Burnley keeper Ari Muric.

    Very intriguing so far. I think Blackburn are starting to get into it a bit more, they're pressurising a bit more.

    In the first five minutes when they had possession within three seconds Burnley had stolen the ball back.

    I think they are rushing passes but they are under a lot of pressure from Burnley as well.

    Jamie Reir has poked home his 13th of the season from close range to put Stevenage ahead at Swindon.

    That's a huge goal in the race for automatic promotion, the gap to Stockport and Carlisle is now four points in the live table, with just two games to come.

    Mansfield's hopes would be all but ended too, even if they hadn't just fallen 2-1 down at home to Leyton Orient. Ruel Sotiriou has completed the turnaround for the O's, slamming down the middle from Kieran Sadlier's low cross.

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Burnley are on top here, but still don't have anything to show for their early efforts.

    Ashley Barnes latches onto a ball from Vitinho into the Blackburn box and goes down amid pressure from Adam Wharton.

    Rovers are furious and plead with the referee to issue a yellow card for simulation but he says nothing doing and play continues.

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Burnley win a corner which is whipped into the Blackburn box and Ameen Al Dakhil gets a head to it.

    Blackburn fail to pick him up but fortunately for the visitors he heads just wide of the target.

    Barnsley v Ipswich is just one of the big games in the third tier tonight and Ipswich have come within a whisker of breaking the deadlock at Oakwell.

    Massimo Luongo's dipping effort from the edge of the box beat Harry Isted but thudded off the underside of the bar and bounced clear.

    The packed away end thought that one was in.

    At Home Park Bristol Rovers are already down to 10 after Antony Evans received a second booking inside 26 minutes after a foul on Plymouth's Danny Mayor, who has already had a shot saved by James Belshaw tonight. The leaders need just five points to secure promotion in their final three games.

    That looked interesting. Just when he got a little one-to-one from Tyrhys Dolan, it looked like Ben Brereton Diaz was going to pull the trigger.

    It was distant from the Burnley player - but it looked like Brereton Diaz got a little clip in the heel.

    Bristol Rovers' Antony Evans is sent off for a second booking after a foul on Callum Wright.

    It's going to be a tough night now for Joey Barton's side.

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Ben Brereton Diaz picks up the ball for Blackburn right on the edge of the Burnley box as the visitors force keeper Ari Muric into a poor clearance.

    Connor Roberts puts in a tackle on Diaz but Blackburn's calls for a free-kick are waved away.

    Ooh blimey.

    Hayden Carter saves the day for Blackburn!

    Rovers go to sleep at the back and Anass Zaroury slips onto the end of a wayward back pass and just before he can get a shot away, Carter slides in to deny him and concede a corner.

    Blackburn immediately clear the corner before Burnley can take advantage.

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Almost 10 minutes into this east Lancashire derby right now and despite a vibrant atmosphere about Ewood Park, there's not been much for either side to cheer about.

    Both Burnley and Blackburn are passing the ball around but there's a caginess, which is to be expected with both sides having plenty to play for.

    Charlie Kelman has equalised for Leyton Orient at Mansfield, nodding home after the ball came back off the post on 17 minutes. And some people were worried they might not be up for it having won the title on Saturday evening... Stevenage, Stockport and Carlisle fans can rest easy.

    Win the midfield battle, it's as simple as that. For me, Blackburn have got to go and win the battle to win the war tonight and in that's the way it's going to be played.

    They've got to play higher up the park because that's where I think Blackburn are better.

    Tonight, it has to be in the right areas against a top-class side.

    Mansfield's hospitality seems to have ended with the guard of honour. Davis Keillor-Dunn has opened the scoring for the hosts, turning the ball past Leyton Orient keeper Sam Sargeant - in for Adam Vigouroux whose ever-present record was ended by an injury in the warm-up. As it stands Mansfield are only two points behind Stevenage in third.

    Gavan Holohan has also broken the deadlock for Grimsby at home to Crewe, the Mariners are eyeing a top -10 finish.

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Blackburn lost 3-0 in the reverse fixture in the final game before the World Cup break.

    As football made its gradual return in December, they were then thumped 4-1 at home by Preston.

    Tonight they come into this game off the back of a chastening draw with North End. But having come up short in their last back-to-back set of derbies, can they make amends tonight and spoil Burnley's party?

    Goalless at Home Park after 15 minutes.

    Argyle have had the better of it so far - Callum Wright has seen a header go wide from a floated free kick, while Niall Ennis looms dangerous for the Pilgrims up front.
