  1. CLOSE!published at 20:59 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Mansfield 1-1 Sutton

    Mansfield should be in front.

    Lucas Akins latches on to George Maris' free-kick, but heads over the bar from inside the six-yard box. A huge let-off for Sutton.

  2. Postpublished at 20:56 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Bradford 1-1 Salford

    Bradford City have won their last three league games against Salford and Tyreik Wright nearly put them in front in this one.

    Wright managed to drift in behind the Ammies' defence, but he drags his effort just wide.

  3. Bolton 'must keep concentration'published at 20:56 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Former Bolton defender on BBC Radio Manchester

    There are going to be at least three or four chances for each team in the second half, given the way the game has gone so far.

    It is all about the mental aspect for the players.

    Bolton have got to keep their concentration high.

    If you stay switched on, hopefully your team wins the game.

  4. Mansfield hope to exploit calmer weatherpublished at 20:51 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    It has been a really good performance from Mansfield, other than the first few sloppy moments of the game.

    With the conditions calming down a little bit - though it is still a little blustery in areas - hopefully Mansfield can get something out of the game.

    We're getting back under way in the matches which kicked off at 19:45.

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:48 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Reading 0-0 Derby

    Hasn't quite been the gulf between the sides as the table suggests in the opening half.

    Conor Hourihane closest for Derby, striking a post.

  7. Derby attacking with 'virtually no challenges'published at 20:46 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Reading 0-0 Derby

    Mick Gooding
    Former Reading player-manager on BBC Radio Berkshire

    That was a really good Derby County move.

    It hit the very base of Reading goalkeeper David Button's right-hand post.

    When Derby have attacked quickly, they have gone straight through the middle of the Reading midfield area, with virtually no challenges.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:45 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Reading 0-0 Derby

    Close for both sides.

    First Eiran Cashin is caught in possession for Derby and it sends Femi Azeez towards goal and his shot is well saved by Joe Vickers for the Rams.

    Callum Elder then advances down the left for the visitors and finds Conor Hourihane at the top of the area and his shot hits the post!

  9. Derby 'lacking in potency'published at 20:45 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Reading 0-0 Derby

    Darren Robinson
    Former Derby coach on BBC Radio Derby

    We have been saying all along that the weather was going to play a part in tonight's game.

    Derby are going to have to find a solution to try and break the deadlock.

    Their potency has been somewhat lacking.

  10. Appleton under pressure despite Charlton levellerpublished at 20:45 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Charlton v NorthamptonImage source, Rex Features

    Elsewhere in League One, it's 2-2 at half-time at The Valley, where Tennai Watson's equaliser for Charlton against Northampton on the stroke of the interval was a much-needed boost for under-pressure Addicks boss Michael Appleton, who has been jeered by some of the home crowd after a run of nine matches without a win.

    Tyreece Simpson scored an early goal and, after Aaron McGowan's own goal brought Charlton level, he crossed for Sam Hoskins put the visitors back in front less than two minutes later. Watson, however, has made it all-square again.

    There was also a quick breakthrough for relegation-threatened Exeter, who lead 1-0 at Bristol Rovers courtesy of 19-year-old forward Sonny Cox’s third goal in seven matches. That came after the hosts had to make an early change after Connor Taylor went off injured.

    Wigan v Wycombe remains goalless.

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:39 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    MK Dons 3-0 Wimbledon

    It has been the first-half of dreams for MK Dons, as they deservedly lead 3-0 at the interval.

    All three goals came in a 12-minute window, with Dan Kemp firing in the first, and his first goal since returning to the club earlier this month. An own goal from Ryan Johnson followed before Warren O'Hora netted his third goal of the season.

    A tough half for Wimbledon, what can Johnnie Jackson do to help get his team firing on all cylinders in the second half.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:38 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Oxford 0-1 Barnsley

    Not much in the way of chances at the Kassam.

    But the visitors came up with a moment of quality that forced an own goal from Sam Long to give them the lead.

    Long was then forced off injured, and Joe Bennett has also picked up a knock and has been replaced for the home side.

  13. Cheltenham left to rue missed openingspublished at 20:37 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    HT: Bolton 1-0 Cheltenham

    Mark Taylor
    BBC Radio Gloucestershire commentator

    If any of Cheltenham's chances had gone in, it might have been a different game.

    Victor Adeboyejo took his chance well and Cheltenham will feel that they presented Bolton with that goal.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:36 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Bradford 1-1 Salford.

    An entertaining first-half in West Yorkshire.

    Salford City have won just one of their four away league games against Bradford, but they took the lead after 14 minutes through Ryan Watson's fine strike from the edge of the box.

    The Ammies' lead only last six minutes though - Brad Halliday levelling for the Bantams with his second goal of the season.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Mansfield 1-1 Sutton

    Honours even at the break in Nottinghamshire.

    Sutton applied pressure on the hosts from the first whistle, and deservedly took the lead after eight minutes through Lee Angol.

    However, the third-placed Stags' levelled through George Maris 10 minutes before half-time. there is plenty to play for in the second half.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Bolton 1-0 Cheltenham

    A decent first 45 at Bolton.

    Both sides with their moments but the error from Cheltenham's Tom Bradbury has let Victor Adeboyejo in for the opening goal.

  17. Postpublished at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Bradford 1-1 Salford

    The fourth officials' board goes up, and its FIVE minutes of added time.

    Can either side nick a goal before half-time?

  18. Bolton appeal for handballpublished at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Bolton 1-0 Cheltenham

    Jack Dearden
    BBC Radio Manchester commentator

    There was a big appeal for handball. It all got very, very messy in the Cheltenham penalty area.

    There was a vigorous challenge from Bolton's Dion Charles.

    I think the referee has given a free-kick to Cheltenham just to take away the issue.

    Bolton will be happy with what they have produced so far.

  19. Postpublished at 20:29 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Reading 0-0 Derby

    Reading fansImage source, Rex Features

    The home fans are keeping to their word.

    They said there'd be no repeat of the pitch invasion that saw their previous home game with Port Vale abandoned - and, so far, they're keeping their protests away from the pitch.

    Ruben Selles' Reading are holding their own against promotion-chasing Derby.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:23 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January

    Sam Long injuryImage source, Rex Features

    To add insult to injury, err, literally...

    Sam Long was hurt in scoring his own goal and is being forced off for Oxford.

    Oisin Smyth takes his place.
