    Leeds 1-0 Stoke

    Dan James doesn't have many options at all, works himself some space and puts it in the net. But that turn from Georginio Rutter yards from his own box has thrown me in the commentary box!

    Nobody expected that. If that didn't come off, we'd all wonder what he's doing but it does. He's one of those flair players that's just got something special.

    After the Huddersfield game, we questioned if Leeds have been a bit leggy but they've been full of energy.

    Ellis Simms (37 mins, hat-trick)

    This must make such miserable viewing for Rotherham fans.

    Ellis Simms has ANOTHER hat-trick, a week after his treble in the FA Cup.

    This time he bends a superb finish into the top corner after another assist by Haji Wright.

    Ipswich 0-0 BristoL City

    Bristol City are growing into this game and have been neutralising Ipswich well whenever they've tried to go forward.

    They've created some decent threats themselves too to worry the hosts, with Nahki Wells seeing a shot blocked and when Jason Knight sent the return back into the box Vaclav Hldaky in the Ipswich goal had to jump up to punch it clear.

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Plymouth

    Lots of action in both boxes but neither side is really showing that killer edge in front of goal yet.

    Ian Poveda right on the edge of the box and Sheffield Wednesday win a corner in a very dangerous spot but Marvin Johsnson's shot from the free-kick is blocked and comes straight back out.

    GOAL: Leeds 1-0 Stokepublished at 20:19 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March

    Daniel James (33 mins)

    Leeds have been treating Stoke's defence like a front door blocking an early-morning police raid, bashing it down eventually to take the lead.

    It's Daniel James who takes the advantage in his seemingly personal battle with Stoke keeper Daniel Iversen, who had previously denied him.

    He gets it on the right, wriggles in-field with team-mates flooding forward, and then arrows a searing drive beyond Iversen's despairing dive to delight a throbbing Elland Road crowd.

  6. 'All pressure on Stoke City'published at 20:19 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March

    Leeds 0-0 Stoke

    Former Leeds United full-back on BBC Radio Leeds

    All the pressure is on Stoke City in these last five minutes. Leeds are regaining possession, putting shots in.

    Daniel Farke is on the sidelines with his hands in the air asking "can we speed this up a bit?"

  7. Postpublished at 20:18 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March

    Sunderland 0-1 Leicester

    Leicester seem to have settled down since the goal, Sunderland have had a bit more possession but nothing really has troubled Foxes goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Coventry 3-0 Rotherhampublished at 20:17 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March

    Ellis Simms (27 mins)

    Ellis Simms scored an FA Cup hat-trick last week and he has two goals in this game for Coventry already!

    Haji Wright brings the ball forward and his low cross is met by Simms, who powers home.

    Coventry remain five points off the play-off places now that sixth-placed Hull are also winning against Birmingham, but they are certainly helping their goal difference here.

    Leeds 0-0 Stoke

    Sorry for taking over this live text with action for Elland Road but it's been a battering for Stoke of late.

    Daniel Iversen again getting a big hand to a shot from Dan James from the right of the box, after he was cleverly picked out by Glen Kamara.

    Somehow, the Potters are standing firm.

  10. Postpublished at 20:14 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March

    Leeds 0-0 Stoke

    Another massive stop from Daniel Iversen as Daniel James raced into the box for Leeds.

    The Wales international tries to go near-post, but it hits Iversen on the back and goes behind. Maybe should have gone across goal?

    Stoke deal with the corner, but it's an all-white wave right now.

    GOAL: Hull 1-0 Birminghampublished at 20:13 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March

    Ozan Tufan (25 mins)

    Hull have made their early attacking play count.

    He definitely isn't the tallest player on the pitch, but Ozan Tufan leaps high from a corner that was pinged in with a beautiful delivery to make it 1-0.

    But did it come off his arm? Replays suggest it may have done.

    Ipswich 0-0 Bristol City

    Ipswich are testing Bristol City and have managed to run in behind the visitors' defence a few times already.

    The Robins are struggling with injuries across the squad at the moment, so much so that manager Liam Manning has only been able to name seven out of nine subs on the bench this evening.

  13. 'Leeds looking comfortable'published at 20:12 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March

    Leeds 0-0 Stoke

    Aidy White
    Former Leeds United full-back on BBC Radio Leeds

    Leeds look okay. They are comfortable. Stoke look lively up front - a bit more of a challenge than Huddersfield last week. It may leave space to counter the counter.

    There's been nice bits of play in the last few minutes.

  14. Postpublished at 20:12 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March

    Leeds 0-0 Stoke

    Daniel Iversen makes a huge save with a big palm to deny Patrick Bamford for Leeds as he swiped at goal.

    Then, Leeds swept in from the right, Georginio Rutter soars highest but can't keep it down.

    It's pulsating now.

    Joel Latibeaudiere (23 mins)

    Coventry were always going to be favourites in this game, but three points are never handed on a plate.

    Joel Latibeaudiere heads in from Jake Bidwelll's corner to heap more misery on bottom side Rotherham.

    Blackburn 0-0 Millwall

    Blackburn's Tyrhys Dolan has continued his lively start to this game at Ewood Park.

    He reads the play well to intercept on the left-hand side, cuts inside and hits a firm strike that Millwall defender Japhet Tanganga jumps to block.

  17. Postpublished at 20:10 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March

    Leeds 0-0 Stoke

    Connor Roberts swings in a teasing cross for Leeds with Patrick Bamford waiting in the box, but Stoke somehow get the ball behind for a corner.

    Roberts attacks again on the back of a swift attack, but again Stoke have numbers and smother.

    Crysencio Summerville races to the Stoke byline for Leeds, but Michael Rose does enough to shepherd him out and another move breaks down.

    Leeds just stepping up here.

  18. DISALLOWED GOAL: Sheffield Wednesdaypublished at 20:08 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Plymouth

    Sheffield Wednesday think they have the opening goal through Ian Poveda who gets the ball in the net with a lovely move on the counter attack.

    The crowd are a bit muted in their celebration though and the goal is swiftly ruled out for offside.

  19. Postpublished at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March

    Hull 0-0 Birmingham

    After soaking up pressure from Hull, Birmingham have created their first clear chance of the evening.

    Juninho Bacuna holds onto possession with clever build-up play and his ball forward is almost put into his own net by Hull defender Jacob Greaves, as the hosts manage to clear the danger.

  20. Postpublished at 20:04 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March

    Ipswich 0-0 Bristol City

    Ipswich win a free-kick inside the first minute after a foul on Conor Chaplin and it gives the host an instant chance to whip the ball into the box towards target man Kieffer Moore.

    Sam Morsy must still be warming up a bit though as he overhits the set piece and the ball goes straight over the box and out for a goal kick.
