Jonathan Leko has notched a second and MK Dons are now 4-1 up at Wrexham.
The teams were two divisions apart last season, of course, but this is surely a bit of a reality check for the hosts.
Elsewhere Josh Hawkes has converted from the spot to level for Tranmere at home to Barrow while Rio Adebisi has completed the comeback for Crewe who are now 2-2 at home to Mansfield just before the hour.
Swansea 0-1 Birmingham
Swansea haven't done a lot to shout about so far in this match, but Harry Darling has just come as close as they've got to finding the net.
His header bounces off the crossbar, however.
Stoke 3-1 Rotherham
Rotherham goalscorer Lee Peltier's day is over.
The defender came on for Sean Morrison at half-time and scored just a couple of minutes later.
However, he's picked up an injury and Dexter Lembiksa is on in his stead.
Long way to go in this one.
Blackburn 2-1 West Brom
Blackburn are really under the cosh.
They're getting caught messing around at the back.
West Brom looked like they were going to sneak the equaliser when Jayson Molumby was about to walk the ball into the Rovers net.
But Joe Rankin-Costello came sliding in to snatch the ball away, a terrific tackle.

Josh: If the season was to end now, Wrexham and Notts County would both be back in the National League. I don't think this is the fairytale start either club had in mind.
The Red Dragons are 3-1 down at home to MK Dons and 10-man Notts County are getting hammered 3-0 at Sutton United.
Watford 4-0 QPR
It's very nearly 5-0 at Vicarage Road as Imran Louza is denied his second of the afternoon by the crossbar.
QPR are hanging on this second half, just...

Devante Cole has completed a hat-trick for Barnsley who now lead 4-0 against Port Vale.
Cole hit 16 last season. Three in an hour today. The first treble of the EFL season. He's setting his stall out for new boss Neill Collins.
Victor Adeboyejo has doubled Bolton's lead against Lincoln, who are 2-0 down and looking at a first opening day defeat in 13 years.

Conor McAleny has opened his account for the season and Salford lead at newly relegated Forest Green Rovers.
Plymouth 1-1 Huddersfield
The away side nearly take the lead as Brahima Diarra catches home goalkeeper Conor Hazard dallying on the ball but the debutant redeems himself with a good save.
Bristol City 1-0 Preston
Preston have reacted well to going a goal down with all the traffic going their way since.
Alan Browne strikes a volley straight at the crossbar as they edge closer to an equaliser.
Swansea 0-1 Birmingham

Swansea are in need of some inspiration here as they look to take something from Michael Duff's first game in charge.
In truth, they have created little aside from a first-half Jamie Paterson which was ruled out as a result of a tight offside call.
Birmingham boss John Eustace will be delighted with his team's efforts up until now.
The Blues have been solid defensively and carried a threat on the counter-attack.

Omari Patrick has his second of the day and Sutton have a third against newly-promoted Notts County - who have 10-men remember.
3-0 with 40 minutes still to play.
Watford 4-0 QPR
A couple of glimmers of hope for QPR, even if they are fairly slim at this point.
Ilias Chair plays a neat one-two with Lyndon Dykes before smashing a shot at goal which is well saved by Daniel Bachmann.
Andre Dozzell then clips the crossbar from the resulting corner.
Just an indication of what we might have in store this season as the officials across the EFL try to ensure that all stoppages are added on at the end of halves.
The second half of the Stoke v Rotherham match kicked off at 16:13 BST.
#bbcefl
Devante Cole has his second goal and Barnsley look set for a handsome win to start a season they hope will end more happily than the last.
They lead Port Vale 3-0. The second was an own-goal in first-half stoppage-time which means this is officially two goals in three minutes.
At Pride Park Craig Forsyth has levelled for Derby against Wigan. They've only lost once in 14 opening day matches and they do not want to make that two.
Bristol City 1-0 Preston
Bristol City might have the lead but Preston are knocking on the door for an equaliser.
Max O'Leary denies Mads Frökjaer-Jensen before Alan Browne drags a shot just high of the bar.
Matt Phillips (51 mins)
Blackburn were caught cold.
Robbed of possession and the Baggies winger Matt Phillips hits a curler into the back of the Rovers net.
Well deserved. The visitors have started this second half really strongly.

If there's going to be a Hollywood finale this afternoon it's going to be one for the ages... Jonathan Leko has put MK Dons 3-1 ahead at Wrexham early in the second half with a fine solo goal.
Blackburn 2-0 West Brom
We are a few minutes into the second half and Ewood Park is in full voice.
Rovers haven't gotten out of their own half since the restart though.
West Brom have work to do to get back into this one.
