    Middlesbrough 1-1 Huddersfield

    Hayden Hackney picks out Emmanuel Latte Lath almost with an artisan butcher's carving knife flourish, but the new signing is brilliantly denied by Lee Nicholls in the Town goal.

    Quite open this. Either side could nick it.

    Sheff Wed 0-1 Preston

    Preston looking for a second goal that might well kill Wednesday off.

    Alan Brown with a free kick that was deflected just wide.

    The home side remain flat and a third straight defeat of the season beckons.

    Leicester 1-1 Cardiff

    Aaron Ramsey's stunner seemed to suck some of the life out of Leicester and Cardiff have been more competitive since.

    The Wales international fancies adding a second, this time on his left foot but it's saved by Mads Hermansen.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Blackburn v HullImage source, Rex Features

    Frustration no doubt building here for Hull as they continue to try and break down 10 men.

    Liam Delap's had a shot saved and then spurned a three-man overlap to give the wrong pass to end another promising move.

    Jacob Greaves then swings a cross too hard and over everyone's head.

    Sunderland 2-1 Rotherham

    Jobe Bellingham close to a hat-trick for Sunderland as they carve Rotherham up at the back.

    Only Cameron Humphrey's desperate effort denies him the treble and the Wearsiders some breathing space.

  7. League Two updatepublished at 16:22 British Summer Time 19 August 2023

    Wrexham have another! It's now 4-3! What a game this is.

    James Jones has struck before the hour just minutes after Elliot Lee's penalty and now there is only one goal in it against Swindon - and plenty of time to come!

    Who knows what score this will end up being?!

    Elsewhere, in a more sedate fixture, Mansfield have levelled it against Grimsby through Rhys Oates.

    QPR 0-0 Ipswich

    QPR come close.

    A pullback pass from Ilias Chair finds Osman Kakay in the Ipswich box but he misses from close range.

    It remains goalless.

    Equaliser for the Teessiders and Middlesbrough have midfielder Hayden Hackney to thank for it.

    The local lad cuts in and hammers a shot past the block-attempt of Sorba Thomas and the scrambling Lee Nicholls which thunders into the net.

    Cue a Teesside roar.

    Macauley Langstaff is finding his feet in League Two after scoring a hatful in the National League last season and has doubled Notts County’s lead at Doncaster – Jodi Jones has just added a third to make it 3-0.

    Salford have levelled it up at 2-2 with Tranmere through Callum Hendry’s goal

    Tony Mowbray has been begging for goals to come from his Sunderland team, and Jobe Bellingham is rising to the challenge in the absence of a new striking addition.

    He reacts sharpest to a ball in the box to fire a second past Viktor Johansson in the Millers goal, after a sharp move involving Jack Clarke and Bradley Dack.

    Sensational! Out of nowhere.

    Andre Vidigal scores his third Championship goal of the season for Stoke.

    The Portuguese winger controls the ball on this chest and blasts a volley into the back of the net.

    Leicester 1-1 Cardiff

    Cardiff made a change at the break, with Ike Ugbo coming off for Yakou Meite.

    The Bluebirds, who forced themselves level in the first-half stoppage, have made a bright start with Joe Ralls denied as he had a speculative pop at the Foxes goal.

    It was a drab first half at Hillsborough so an early goal in the second period is just what's needed.

    A free-kick is swung over and Liam Lindsay is at the far post, slips into space and is on target with a strong header.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    So can Hull break down the 10 men of Blackburn in the second half?

    They have an immediate chance for Scott Twine but he slips slightly when shooting and finds the side netting.

    Sam Gallagher brought on for Rovers, meanwhile.

    Middlesbrough 0-1 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield are bashing on the door for a second, as Jonathan Hogg looks to punish his boyhood club with a shot that is blocked.

    The Teessiders are under the pump and still yet to score this season.

    Huddersfield make the breakthrough at the Riverside, as Sorba Thomas' corner creates the panic, and Dael Fry can't avoid turning into his own net.

    It was a terrific set-piece from Thomas. Might have gone straight in but it seemed like Middlesbrough defender Fry got a touch.
