    Deadlock broken.

  5. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:56 British Summer Time 3 October 2023

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Cardiff

    Oooof Cardiff winger Ollie Tanner hits the post.

    His left-footed strike from 12 yards, from a tight angle, is inches away from creeping into the corner.

    That's the closest either of these sides have come to scoring a goal.

  6. Postpublished at 20:55 British Summer Time 3 October 2023

    Ipswich 2-0 Hull

    Hull boss Liam Rosenior has brought on Scott Twine for Adama Traore at the break.

    West Brom 1-0 Sheff Wed

    West Brom are heading into the play-offs as things stand thanks to John Swift's 13th-minute goal.

    Wednesday have offered little in reply, although Tyreeq Bakinson went close for the visitors with a curling effort and Ashley Fletcher drew a save from Alex Palmer on the stroke of half-time.

    The Owls are heading for a fourth defeat in five - and a 10th match without a win at the start of the season.

    Otherwise, there hasn't been too much between these two sides.

    West Brom 1-0 Sheff Wed

    Sheffield Wednesday have spent most of this game on the back foot.

    Owls keeper Devis Vasquez has just tipped a free-kick from John Swift behind for a corner.

    A few minutes before the Colombian was called into action to deny West Brom midfielder Okay Yokuslu from close range.

    Ipswich 2-0 Hull

    Ipswich are loving life and heading top of the Championship as things stand.

    Fine strikes from Wes Burns and Conor Chaplin have given Kieran McKenna's Tractor Boys a comfortable lead at the break.

    Hull have won eight points from losing positions already this season - but have a lot of work to do to stretch their unbeaten run to nine matches.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35 British Summer Time 3 October 2023

    Plymouth 0-0 Millwall

    Plymouth have dominated possession and had the better of the chances.

    Pilgrims forward Morgan Whittaker curled a free-kick around the wall just before the break - but Bartosz Bialkowski was equal to it.

    Millwall are lacking a cutting edge in the final third. That's been the story of their season so far.

    Three of their seven goals have come against Rotherham.

  17. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35 British Summer Time 3 October 2023

    Birmingham 2-0 Huddersfield

    Birmingham firmly in control at St Andrew's and they could easily have three goals at the break.

    Huddersfield are struggling and look limited in attack.

    The visitors are going to need a bit of magic to get back into this one.

  18. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 3 October 2023

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Cardiff

    Goalless at the Riverside.

    A hard fought and frustrating first 45 minutes for both in-form sides.

    GOAL: Ipswich 2-0 Hullpublished at 20:29 British Summer Time 3 October 2023

    Conor Chaplin (41 mins)

    Ipswich double their lead just before the break with another great finish.

    Conor Chaplin is picked out in space on the edge of the box by Leif Davis, who was marauding down the left flank.

    Chaplin controls inside the D then curls a left-footed shot into the top left-hand corner.

    Nothing Hull keeper Ryan Allsop could do about that.

    That's now 15 straight home games that Ipswich have scored at least two goals. They've only lost one of those - 4-3 to Leeds United in August.

    Macaulay Langstaff, from the penalty spot, and Daniel Crowley have put league leaders Notts County 3-0 up at home to Swindon.

    This is the sixth time Notts have scored three or more goals in a League Two match this season.

    Antoni Sarcevic has doubled Stockport's lead over Forest Green, they lead 2-0.

    Lowly Tranmere lead Bradford through Regan Hendry and Doncaster, also struggling, are a goal up on Crawley thanks to Modou Faal.
