  1. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Norwich 1-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn have not really been able to react to that Norwich goal and Tony Mowbray turns to his bench.

    On-loan Liverpool forward Harvey Elliott and Sam Gallagher come on for Rovers.

    Norwich have very much been in second gear but need to be careful.

    Shrewsbury goalImage source, Rex Features

    Leaders Hull have just gone behind at Shrewsbury through an own goal by keeper Matt Ingram. The Tigers had won five in a row before today.

    Accrington are now 3-1 up against Wigan - Dion Charles' penalty stretching the advantage.

    Callum Morton has equalised for Lincoln at Sunderland and MK Dons have gone 2-0 in front at Burton.

    GOAL: Reading 1-1 QPRpublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Yakou Meite (57 mins)

    Minutes after their disallowed goal, Yakou Meite chests down a through-ball, cuts inside the defender in the box and fires a shot through Seny Dieng's legs.

    The keeper will think he should have saved that.

    It's three in three now for Meite.

  4. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Reading 0-1 QPR

    Seny Dieng denies Yakou Meite and Reading captain Liam Moore puts the rebound in, but it's chalked off for offside.

  5. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Preston 0-0 Luton

    Luton's Elijah Adebayo gets his head to James Bree's cross and Preston keeper Daniel Iversen has to dive to his left to save.

    That's probably the best chance of a pretty average game so far.

  6. goal

    GOAL: Barnsley 0-2 Sheff Wedpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Jordan Rhodes (53 mins)

    Jordan Rhodes and Sheffield Wednesday get their second of the afternoon and is Barnsley's fine run of form going to come crashing down?

    Rhodes taps in from close range from Josh Windass' neat ball across goal after another moment to forget for the hosts.

    GOAL: Watford 2-0 Birminghampublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Nathaniel Chalobah (55 mins)

    How important is this one going to be at the end of the season?

    Watford are 2-0 up against Birmingham now and it's come via Nathaniel Chalobah's header at the far post.

    As it stands, they're six points clear of third-placed Swansea City.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Norwich 1-0 Blackburnpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Kenny McLean (53 mins)

    The league leaders have the breakthrough.

    Kenny McLean plays a one-two with Kieran Dowell, runs into the penalty area and finds the bottom corner.

    It's hard to see the Canaries not getting automatic promotion this season.

    They could be 16 points in front of third-placed Swansea if the Swans lose the late kick-off against Cardiff.

    Millwall 1-0 Middlesbrough

    George Saville gets the first chance for Middlesbrough in this second half as they look to come back against Millwall.

    He drills an effort towards goal which is well saved by home goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski.

    Bristol City 0-1 Rotherham

    The Millers get the first chance of the second half, with Matt Crooks and Wes Harding combining on the counter attack as Harding gets a back-post cross towards Michael Smith.

    The striker wins the ball, but his shot only manages to find the side netting.

    Stoke 0-0 Derby

    Stoke get the first chance in the second half as Joe Allen tries his luck with an acrobatic effort.

    Fortunately for Derby, the ball goes out without much to worry about.

  12. Postpublished at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Norwich 0-0 Blackburn

    Once again Blackburn are quick out of the blocks, Darragh Lenihan heading a Barry Douglas corner over Tim Krul's bar.

    Off we go again.

    Just five goals from the nine Championship games currently in-play - let's have at least double that in the second half.

    Will Watford close the gap on runaway leaders Norwich? Let's see.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Norwich 0-0 Blackburn

    Uncharacteristically sloppy from the league leaders.

    Todd Cantwell hit the post with a deflected effort but otherwise Blackburn have frustrated the hosts, pressing very high and no doubt using plenty of energy to do so!

  17. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Stoke 0-0 Derby

    All square in this one at half-time with Stoke and Derby sharing few chances between them.

  18. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Bristol City 0-1 Rotherham

    Relegation battlers Rotherham are a goal to the good at half-time through Michael Smith's towering header.

  19. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Watford 1-0 Birmingham

    Watford lead at the break thanks to Ken Sema's fourth-minute goal against Birmingham.

    But there's been plenty of fightback from the visitors as they push for a leveller.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2021

    Preston 0-0 Luton

    There's not much to say about this one.

    James Bree shot over from a long way out for Luton, and Sepp van der Berg header a corner over the bar for Preston.
