    That's as far as we go here on a night where Huddersfield rescued a point in the final minute of time added on at Coventry thanks to Michal Helik's poacher's finish.

    New Terriers boss Darren Moore will have been pleased with how his side improved after the break and the way they kept going even when it looked like their luck was out.

    Sky Blues boss Mark Robins had said it might take a while for his charges to get going this season after a lot of changes over the summer but he'd have been hoping for more than eight points from their first eight games.

    We'll be back with more EFL live text action on Friday when Moore's former side Sheffield Wednesday, the only winless side in the division, host Sunderland.

    Thanks for your company tonight and have a good week.

    Cheers!

    It's a point that, unsurprisingly, doesn't do a great deal for either sides' league standing.

    Coventry, who have now drawn five of their eight league matches, are down in 18th.

    One point and one place above them are Huddersfield, who are now unbeaten in four after three defeats from their first four league games.

    Coventry bossed it in the first half, we deserved to be in front.

    But you can't argue with the fact that Huddersfield probably deserved that equaliser.

    It's three points that we thought we'd got moments ago, that have been snatched away from us.

    Darren Moore starts off his Huddersfield reign with a very, very late point at Coventry.

    Yasin Ayari's bundled first half effort looked like it would be enough to give the home side the points and just their second league win of the season.

    However, with seconds running out Huddersfield, who were much the better side after the break, made one last foray forward and centre-back Michal Helik poked in to help them extend their unbeaten run to four matches.

    Absolutely brilliant and well deserved too, with that second-half performance.

    Huddersfield deserve that goal and they deserve this point.

    Late, LATE drama!

    It's no more than Huddersfield deserve to be fair.

    Michal Helik is up from the back for the final seconds and the Pole is in the right place at the right time to stab home from close range after the home side fail to clear Sorba Thomas's cross.

    Coventry looking to just run the clock down now.

    They've not offered much this half but they've managed to keep an improved Huddersfield at bay.

    How big could this be?!

    Huddersfield keeper Lee Nicholls makes a SUPERB save from a ferocious strike from Bobby Thomas and Haji Wright scoops the rebound over the bar from very close in.

    It's not often referees give a yellow for diving, so he's obviously had a clear sight of it.

    Perhaps Jack Rudoni's made a bit of a meal of it - he's tried to drive through traffic and hit the floor a bit too easily, going by the referee's eyesight.

    Jack Rudoni is booked for a dive in the area.

    The Huddersfield midfielder did really well to battle his way through a couple of challenges and then... makes a lot of a bit of contact.

    Huddersfield go to their bench for a third and final time.

    A striker for a midfielder.

    The one good thing Coventry have done, even though they've not been good in this second period, is they've defended crosses well.

    Second change for the away side.

    Josh Koroma is off and Kian Harratt is on.

    That'll give them a bit more of a physical presence at the top end of the pitch.

    Until the Coventry fans greeted the arrival of sub Hadji Wright, to the tune of one that once belonged to his rather more famous footballing namesake Ian Wright, it had all been getting rather quiet here.

    The Sky Blues are a long way from putting this one to bed yet. And the 22,257 fans can sense it.

    Especially the small pocket of travelling Terriers.

    Huddersfield are a growing threat.

    Coventry are living on their nerves just now and boss Mark Robins has seen enough.

    He sends on Haji Wright and Jamie Allen for Ellis Simms and goalscorer Yasin Ayari.
