    Wow, that's been one hectic half of EFL action!

    Let's take a look at the half-time headlines from across the divisions shall we?

  6. goal

    GOAL: Ipswich 2-3 Leedspublished at 15:54 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Nathan Broadhead (45+6 mins)

    Right on half-time Ipswich pull one back!

    Nathan Broadhead finishes from Kayden Jackson's cross and sets us up perfectly for a big second half at Portman Road.

  7. Postpublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    West Brom 2-1 Middlesbrough

    Chances at both ends at the end of the half.

    First close to an equaliser for Middlesbrough as Latte Lath chases down a long ball, muscles his way into space but fires over the bar.

    The Baggies close to a third as Matt Phillips sends a low cross in from the right across the face of goal but no-one can slide in to finish.

    Huddersfield 0-2 Norwich

    Sanny Rudravajhala
    Reporting for 5 Live Sport

    What a save!!! Angus Gunn is almost cinematic flying to his right to save a rising header from Ruffles.

    That was heading to the top corner! Tim Krul bid his goodbyes to the Norwich fans on BBC Radio Norfolk’s Scrimmage podcast this week. He’s left for Luton but no wonder he wasn’t getting a game at Carrow Road if Gunn can pull that off!

  9. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:48 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Coventry 0-0 Sunderland

    Coventry's Ellis Simms is denied by the Sunderland keeper Anthony Patterson who pulls off a brilliant stop.

    Simms' shot was hard and low across the face of goal but Patterson was equal to it and saved with his legs.

    The best chance on goal for the Sky Blues so far.

    Make that 4-1! Derby score again before the break against Peterborough.

    It's Martyn Waghorn with a hat-trick. Great finish there.

  11. League One latestpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    #bbcefl

    Talk about a turnaround!

    Derby now lead Peterborough 3-1.

    Goals from Eiran Cashin and a Martyn Waghorn double puts the Rams in control.

  12. Postpublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Huddersfield 0-2 Norwich

    Great save from Angus Gunn in the away goal to keep the Terriers out.

    The Scotland international claws Josh Ruffels' goalbound header away as it looks to be sailing into the top corner.

  13. Postpublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Huddersfield 0-2 Norwich

    Huddersfield will be desperate to get a goal back before the break.

    Striker Danny Ward turns sharply but it's a difficult chance and he sends his effort flying over the crossbar.

  14. League Two latestpublished at 15:41 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    #bbcefl

    AFC Wimbledon are a goal to the good as Jimmy Ball gives them the lead against Forest Green.

    MK Dons have doubled their lead now through Warren O'Hora. A lot of work for Doncaster to do in that one.

    And George Maris equalised for Mansfield against Stockport to make it 1-1 but Fraser Horsfall restores Stockport's lead to send them 2-1 up.

  15. goal

    GOAL: Millwall 1-0 Stokepublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Kevin Nisbet (38 mins)

    A long throw is slightly under-thrown but it bounces kindly for the home side.

    It reaches Kevin Nisbet on the edge of the area who slides a low finish into the bottom-right corner.

  16. Postpublished at 15:39 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Millwall 0-0 Stoke

    The referee has been very busy in the opening half hour at The Den.

    Four yellow cards already. The latest of them for Stoke's Ki-Jana Hoever after a late challenge.

    David Webb then has a word with Stoke manager Alex Neil.

    Ipswich 1-3 Leeds

    Georginio RutterImage source, Rex Features

    How pivotal a moment could this prove to be in Leeds' season?

    The winless Whites fell behind early on at high-flying Ipswich but Georginio Rutter levelled to spark a spell of three goals in nine minutes.

    It was a first goal for the club for the young French striker who arrived in January for big money from Hoffenheim but had struggled to find his feet. Until now!

  18. Postpublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    Cardiff 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Dafydd Pritchard
    BBC Sport Wales at Cardiff City Stadium

    Another Cardiff player starting his first game for the club, former Reading forward Yakou Meite, has just missed a glorious chance to score his first goal for the Bluebirds.

    Perry Ng's cross from the right wing is a perfect outswinger, but Meite's thumping header just whistles past the post.

  19. League One latestpublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    #bbcefl

    Wigan are down to 10-men against Barnsley with Charlie Hughes given his marching orders after a late tackle.

    The Tykes take full advantage and now lead through Devante Cole.

    Peterborough and Derby is currently 1-1. Jonson Clarke-Harris gave Posh the lead but Martyn Waghorn's goal has cancelled that out.

    And Will Aimson has given Exeter the lead against Reading.

    This is really not a good day for Championship defences is it?! My word.

    Not for everyone, but me? I like it.
