A good chance for Hull as Adama Traoré sees a shot from 35 yards creep a bit too high over the bar.

The Sky Blues won this same fixture 3-0 back in April with two goals from Viktor Gyokeres and the other from Gustavo Hamer.

How they wish they still had those two quality performers at the club.

Not surprisingly Preston manager Ryan Lowe has opted for a change with Robbie Brady on in place of Ali McCann, who was booked in the first half.

North End have a lot of work to do to keep their unbeaten run going.

Albion thoroughly deserve it. Been the better team. Furlong and Mowatt with the goals, the second courtesy of a Storey error.

Holmes almost bringing North End back into it on half-time. Expecting Keane and Whiteman before much longer.

Players are re-emerging after their half-time breathers and we are ready for the second halves to get under way.

League leaders Portsmouth have come from 1-0 down and now lead Wigan Athletic 2-1 thanks to a pair of quick goals from Regan Poole and Paddy Lane.

Stevenage and Oxford United are locked in a tight battle and it’s all square at 1-1, with both sides in with a shout of the top spot.

Chasers Bolton and Peterborough lead their matches 1-0.

Blackpool are beating Barnsley 1-0 and Wycombe are up on Carlisle by the same scoreline.

Lincoln are comfortably 2-0 on top of bottom of the league Cheltenham, whose wait for a goal goes on.

It’s goalless in all the other games.

What a start from Colchester - 20th in the league table – who are 3-1 up on leaders Notts County. Noah Chilvers’ long range shot to open the scoring was a beauty.

Top teams Crawley and Swindon are both 1-0 up in their matches.

Wrexham have had a player sent off against Crewe Alexandra but have fought back from a goal down and are now on level terms at 1-1.

We’ve got a few more 1-1 games, Gillingham versus Mansfield and Salford versus Newport are both square with a goal each.

Bradford against Walsall was heading the same way until the Saddlers grabbed a stoppage-time lead to go in 2-1 up.

Stockport County are beating Accrington 2-0 and Wimbledon have come from behind and lead Tranmere Rovers 2-1.

All the half-time whistles have gone in the Championship. Let's take a look at those headlines...

Adam Wallage: We really need to pick up our game today Notts, losing 3-1 to Colchester is not the best for us.

As half-time approaches, Cardiff create the first clear chance of what has been a pretty drab contest.

Manolis Siopis' pass sends Ryan Wintle in behind the Rotherham defence but, with the angle against him, the midfielder sees his shot saved by Viktor Johansson.

A couple of chances at both ends although we are still waiting for our first goal at Carrow Road.

Christian Fassnacht's shot is saved by John Ruddy at one end and instantly Birmingham break up the other but Jay Stansfield's effort flies over the bar.

The visitors are forced into a change before half-time with Lewis O'Brien coming off and Tommy Smith on in his place.

They will want to get to the break with their advantage intact.

Omari Hutchinson goes down in the box and Ipswich are adamant it's a penalty although the referee has other ideas.

It gets a bit heated in the aftermath and both Sorba Thomas and Wes Burns end up with a yellow card.

A group of Reading supporters have thrown dozens of tennis balls onto the pitch at the Select Car Leasing Stadium and the game has been paused.

It's the second time in as many home games that fans, from the 'Sell Before We Dai' pressure group, have staged the protest in opposition to the Royals' controversial owner Dai Yongge and his handling of the troubled League One club.

Almost 2-0 for Plymouth as Finn Azaz takes a shot from distance and strikes the inside of the post.

The ball trickles across the face of goal but doesn't go in.
