    Hull 2-2 Leicester

    Jamie Vardy is on a hat-trick and it is now seven in seven for the former Golden Boot winner.

    If the Foxes can get him the ball in the last 20-odd minutes, he'll be sniffing that treble.

    GOAL: Preston 1-1 Stokepublished at 16:28 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March

    Milutin Osmajic (68 mins)

    Well Stoke's lead didn't last long.

    Milutin Osmajic swiftly levels for Preston just four minutes after Andrew Hughes had put the ball into his own net.

    Mads Frokjaer tees up Osmajic to head home and quell the Potters' celebrations.

    Norwich 5-0 Rotherham

    18 efforts on goal for the Canaries.

    Rotherham have managed none. Zero.

    Hull 2-2 Leicester

    Peter Swan
    Former Hull City player on BBC Radio Humberside

    Jamie Vardy is up for it today. That was a great ball in and he makes great movement.

    You're always vulnerable when you've just scored, you've got to make sure you stay patient. You don't let Vardy have space like that - he just wandered off.

    Andrew Hughes own goal (64 mins)

    A seismic goal in the race to Championship survival!

    Andrew Hughes puts the ball into his own net and Stoke City are ahead against Preston and potentially 25 minutes or so from moving up to 18th and three points off the drop zone.

    Blimey.

    Jamie Vardy (62 mins)

    Ooh Jamie Vardy!!

    A response of Champions from Leicester, but don't leave a striker of Vardy's class in space in the box.

    He takes one touch to control, before finding his second goal of the afternoon.

    Game on!

    GOAL: Southampton 2-1 Sunderlandpublished at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March

    Romaine Mundle (62 mins)

    Dear oh dear, Southampton shouldn't be conceding goals like this.

    From nowhere Sunderland are back in this game as Saints lose possession and Dan Neil tees up Romaine Mundle to strike in a deflected effort from distance.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Hull 2-1 Leicesterpublished at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March

    Anass Zaroury (60 mins)

    The Tigers are back in front!

    Leicester's potential return to the Premier League hits another road block!

    Anass Zaroury, such a key player in Burnley's promotion campaign 12 months ago, grabs his second for Hull as he drives it past Mads Hermansen with his left foot.

    Blackburn 1-0 Plymouth

    Are Plymouth able to utilise their advantage after Blackburn had Kyle McFadzean sent off?

    Well so far, not quite.

    After Argyle win a corner, Blackburn break on the counter and Arnor Sigurdsson is played through in space but he drives straight at Plymouth keeper Michael Cooper.

  11. goal

    GOAL: QPR 0-1 Middlesbroughpublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March

    Emmanuel Latte Lath (67 mins)

    All those QPR substitutes make no difference!

    Emmanuel Latte Lath breaks the deadlock in some style, volleying home after a looping ball over the top from Matt Clarke.

    A goal worthy of settling a game, if it stays this way.

  12. Postpublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March

    Preston 0-0 Stoke

    Still goalless but Stoke almost stun Preston to take the lead.

    Mads Frokjaer has been solid for North End of late but a defensive lapse sees him lose possession and Lynden Gooch races onto the ball.

    But his shot is well dealt with by Preston keeper Freddie Woodman.

  13. Postpublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March

    Watford 1-1 Coventry

    Haji Wright, not content with one goal this afternoon, almost doubles his tally and gives Coventry the lead with an effort from inside the area.

    Daniel Beckmann in the Watford goal stands firm and keeps it out.

    Hull 1-1 Leicester

    Leicester have had the fewest draws of any side in the Championship this campaign.

    They also have the most away wins in the division with 13, but they are finding it tough on Humberside.

    The Foxes don't have the fluency that was evident before Christmas.

    Dennis, Cambridge: Things could be worse for Rotherham. They would need to let in 65 more goals in their remaining nine-and-a-half games to break the English record for most goals conceded in a league season (Darwen, 1898-1899).

    Some Millers fans might not rule that out Dennis...

    QPR 0-0 Middlesbrough

    If you're trying to change a 0-0 game, substitutions aren't a bad way to do it.

    Marti Cifuentes makes three for the hosts, bringing on Lyndon Dykes, Isaac Hayden, and Paul Smyth.

    Michael Frey, Ilias Chair, and Sam Field make way.

    Blackburn 1-0 Plymouth

    Andy Bayes
    Reporter, BBC Radio Lancashire

    It has been the ploy all afternoon and the very first time of the half it's happened - Blackburn Rovers are pegged back. Looking at it, I can't say I wouldn't have done the same.

    What did we say earlier? There's been two games with people sent off in Lancashire games, let's hope there's not any more...

    Millwall 0-0 Birmingham

    A huge chance for Birmingham, and it has gone begging.

    Jay Stansfield from close range and he drags it wide of the post. How costly could that prove and how many more chances will Blues get?

  19. RED CARDpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March

    Blackburn 1-0 Plymouth

    Blackburn are reduced to 10 after Kyle McFadzean sees red.

    He's sent straight off after he has his arms around Ryan Hardie and brings him down as he races through on goal.

    Can Plymouth capitalise on their player advantage?

  20. Postpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March

    Preston 0-0 Stoke

    A quiet start to the second half at Deepdale, mimicking the way the first half ended.

    Jordan Storey whips a free-kick into the Stoke half of the field and Stoke swiftly send a free-kick of their own back soon after.

    That just about sums things up so far.
