Preston 3-0 Rotherham
Will Keane glances a header off target as the hosts seek to extend their lead.
Hakeem Odofin almost pulled one back moments earlier.
Norwich 0-1 Plymouth
Norwich have peppered Plymouth's goal since they went 1-0 down early on, but it is the visitors who have often looked like adding to their advantage.
Canaries goalkeeper Angus Gunn is tested by Morgan Whittaker before Adam Randell sends a volley over the bar.
QPR 0-1 Birmingham
Paul Mortimer
Former Palace, Villa and Charlton midfielder on BBC Radio London
The problem with that is he had too much space to pick his spot.
The defenders lost concentration and did not mark runners.
He races to celebrate with the Birmingham City fans.
Juninho Bacuna (62 mins)
A massive goal at the foot of the table. Advantage Blues. Ethan Laird squares to Juninho Bacuna in way too much space on the edge of the Hoops box and his picks his spot in the top corner to see his side leapfrog QPR and climb out of the drop zone.
QPR 0-0 Birmingham
Huge chance for Birmingham but Jay Stansfield is unable to convert from Juninho Bacuna's pass.
Cardiff 0-2 Sunderland
No sign of Cardiff roaring back to life on their home patch.
Sunderland closest to adding to the scoring, as Dan Neil swings one wide.
Southampton 1-0 Middlesbrough
Che Adams has missed again.
Not a great few moments for the Saints striker as he adds to a catalogue of missed opportunities. Stuart Armstrong's effort ricocheted into his path, but he scuffed it wide.
Saints need to put this away.
QPR 0-0 Birmingham
Richard Wilford
BBC Radio WM commentator
That is one of those laws that in the referee's defence is not his fault.
People are heatedly berating the assistant referee but I am not sure what he has done wrong, neither is he.
The rules don't help the officials with drop ball situations.
Southampton 1-0 Middlesbrough
Seny Dieng makes a save this time to frustrate Che Adams, as Middlesbrough keep the score to one.
Southampton have their tails up at the moment.
Southampton 1-0 Middlesbrough
Southampton striker Che Adams is about to wheel away but the goal is chalked off.
The Scotland international pounced after Seny Dieng cold-dropped the ball from a Kamaldeen Sulemana cross, but he was offside.
Boro still in it.
Southampton 1-0 Middlesbrough
Emmanuel Latte Lath is set free by a clever diagonal ball and stays onside for Middlesbrough.
He hares to the box, gets in but his low shot zips harmlessly at goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, who drops to his knees to welcome it to his palms.
Good build-up, shame about the finish. Why not go across the keeper? Who am I to say?

For some of these managers, that might just might have been the biggest 15 minutes of the season so far...
Will it have made a difference? We'll find out now as the second halves are getting under way!
HT: Southampton 1-0 Middlesbrough
Dan George
BBC Sport at St Mary's
Southampton will be happy with that first half, dominating possession and dealing well with Middlesborough’s threat on the counter-attack.
But since Finn Azaz hit the post for Boro, the game’s chances have been limited and the atmosphere rather flat here in St Mary’s.
Russell Martin will be the happier of the two managers at the break.
A combination of glorious sunshine and gusty wind in Southampton today.
Preston 3-0 Rotherham
Emil Riis scored twice in five minutes after Duane Holmes had put the hosts ahead and all of a sudden North End are within two points of the play-offs as it stands.
Rotherham are 21 points from safety and though Huddersfield losing today would ensure they avoid relegation today, it is just a matter of time...
QPR 0-0 Birmingham
The deadlock remains intact at the break. What a tense 45 minutes in store.
John Ruddy's fine save to deny Ilias Chair's close-range header is the main reason for the stalemate, though Lucas Andersen did also clip the bar with a far-post effort for the Hoops.
Cardiff 0-2 Sunderland
Sunderland have a chance to end their seven game winless run here, holding a 2-0 half-time lead.
Adil Aouchiche's penalty after Jobe Bellingham was fouled, put them ahead.
Bellingham then tucked away the Frenchman's cross as scorer turned provider.
There wasn't a lot for Cardiff to cheer, they were booed off and this has not been a positive response to their derby loss to Swansea last time out.
Norwich 0-1 Plymouth
Morgan Whittaker's early goal is the difference at Carrow Road right now.
His fourth goal against the Canaries this season has them edging away from the drop zone.
Norwich, however, have been piling the pressure on in search of an equaliser.
Hull 0-0 Stoke
Are Hull heading for yet another draw?
Right now, it seems so. Neither side has anything to show or really boast about after the first 45 minutes.
Preston 3-0 Rotherham

Well I can't write my updates for you fast enough here. It felt like a friendly atmosphere as North End got their second and they are just cruising now with a third. Two for Emil Riis returning to the side, along with Duane Holmes' opener and this game is done and dusted.
You feel for Rotherham, they haven't been dire but they have so little confidence, struggling for ideas and are getting pulled apart at the back.
HT: QPR 0-0 Birmingham
Ian Clarkson
Ex-Birmingham captain on BBC Radio WM
I think there are goals to be had against this QPR team if just a bit more quality in the final third.
Sheffield Wednesday are winning so we are actually currently sat in the bottom three.
