Sheff Wed 0-1 Ipswich
Leif Davis is forced off for the visitors deep into six minutes of added time at the end of the first half. Brandon Williams is the man coming on.
Jack Clarke (45+8 mins)
Jack Clarke draws Sunderland level after sustained pressure, with a typical cut in at pace of the left, shuffle into the box and low drive beyond Asmir Begovic.
It had been coming as the visitors grew confidence after Jack Colback's red.
Sheff Wed 0-1 Ipswich
Calvin Andrew
Ex-Rochdale, Mansfield and Port Vale forward on Squad Goals
I watched Ipswich three times at the end of last season and they were far too good for League One.
They weren't just physically and technically better, they were mentally better and if you have that you can beat anyone on your day.
Conor Chaplin (45 mins)
It's been coming...
After a fantastic ball down the flank, Leif Davis is the provider, driving towards the box and cutting the ball back into the middle where Conor Chaplin is on hand to fire a low shot past Devis Vasquez and through a forest of legs in the goalmouth for his third goal of the season.
Ipswich are keeping pace with the Championship leading pack.
Norwich 1-0 Stoke
Henry Liston
Squad Goals
Norwich are just starting to purr in the Championship.
I've never heard a canary purr, but if it did they're doing it right now.
Bristol City 0-0 West Brom
Baggies keeper Alex Palmer is called into action to keep out Nahki Wells' low shot from close range.
Couple of minutes of normal time remain in this first half, not sure how the deadlock remains intact.
Jack Stacey (44 mins)
Norwich have the lead they so desperately craved!
Jonathan Rowe does well to meet a cross, but his header takes a deflection. Luckily for the hosts it is into the path of Jack Stacey, who stabs it home.
Norwich 0-0 Stoke
We are closing in on half-time at Carrow Road, and a breakthrough is yet to come.
Mark Travers has had a bit to do in Stoke's goal in the first half so far. Jonathan Rowe has had a few goes, with his latest well dealt with by the Potters shot-stopper.

James Tilley has scored Wimbledon's second of the afternoon at home to Crewe.
Newport may be in the lead but they've been reduced to ten men, Ryan Delaney the man to see red for The Exiles.
Bristol City 0-0 West Brom
Brandon Thomas-Asante thought he had a clear run through on Max O'Leary's goal... until that is the sprinting Zak Vyner appears from nowhere to produce a perfectly-timed sliding challenge as the Baggies man goes to pull the trigger.
Plenty of action in this one, but still no goals...
Blackburn 1-0 Middlesbrough
Darragh Lenihan might have been forgiven for bowling into the home dressing room on arrival at Blackburn's Ewood Park this afternoon, such was his length of service.
He's certainly remembered which side he's on now, hauling down old pal Lewis Travis to receive a yellow card for Middlesbrough.
QPR 1-0 Sunderland
Sunderland are forcing the issue now, with sub Alex Pritchard teasing a delivery which is begging for Jobe Bellingham to connect with, but he just can't stretch to meet the loose ball.
Preston 2-0 Plymouth
Huge moment for the hosts, this.
Freddie Woodman does well to preserve Preston's two-goal lead, denying Kaine Kesler-Hayden after Plymouth cut through the defence with devastating style.

Shane McLoughlin has broken the deadlock for Newport at home to Barrow.
Sheff Wed 0-0 Ipswich
Owls keeper Devis Vasquez has denied Wes Burns with another good save from a low angled shot after Burns drove into the area, Conor Chaplin could only divert the rebound wide.
Town still on the hunt for the opener.

Oxford are now two to the good at Fleetwood thanks to Billy Bodin.

Leyton Orient have equalised at Peterborough courtesy of Omar Beckles.
Bristol City 0-0 West Brom
Sam Bell has come close to breaking the deadlock for City as he cuts in from the right onto his left foot but fires his effort just the wrong side of the post and into the side netting.
Mark Sykes has come even closer, firing an angled shot into the post after a scramble in the box.

Harrison Biggins has given bottom side Doncaster the lead at Forest Green.
Blackburn 1-0 Middlesbrough
Big save from Aynsley Pears to deny Middlesbrough striker Marcus Forss, palming his effort round the post.
Aynsley's dad Stephen was a Boro legend, but there's no sentiment in this one.
