    Nottm Forest 0-0 Reading

    Michael Olise gives a free-kick some welly for Reading in their first chance of the second-half, but despite zipping over the wall it's into Forest keeper Brice Samba's hands.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Wycombe 1-0 Preston

    Preston boss Alex Neil is understandably not pleased with how his side played in that first half - they seemed to be outfought by Wycombe.

    So the visitors have brought on Brad Potts, Paul Gallagher and Tom Barkhuizen for the second half at Adams Park.

    Bournemouth 2-1 Barnsley

    Big call from Valerien Ismael for Barnsley as Herbie Kane, Callum Styles and Carlton Morris all come on.

    Conor Chaplin, Ronal Palmer and Jordan Williams make way.

    Triple sub.

    First shot of the second-half also goes Barnsley's way, Dominik Frieser with an ambitious effort from the left which swings wide.

    Portsmouth 0-0 Salford City

    Back under way for the second half at Wembley where there's been a monumental hail storm during the interval!

    Portsmouth make a triple change bringing on full-back Lee Brown, midfielder Marcus Harness and forward Ronan Curtis.

    Brown netted a penalty in their 2019 final shootout win against Sunderland. A good omen?

    We've just about reached half-time in the majority of our eight 15:00 GMT Championship matches, so we'll have some headlines for you shortly...

  10. goal

    GOAL: Bournemouth 2-1 Barnsleypublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Dominic Solanke (45+2 mins)

    Bournemouth will go into the dressing rooms at half-time with a lead after taking the lead against Barnsley in injury-time.

    Arnaut Danjuma was picked out on the left with a ball over the top and Barnsley were on the back-pedal subsequently.

    His ball rolled tantalisingly across the penalty area to the back post where a sliding Dominic Solanke was able to hook low beyond Brad Collins and in for the lead.

    What a turnaround!

  11. EFL Trophy final half-timepublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Portsmouth 0-0 Salford City

    Half-time at Wembley.

    It's been all Salford in that first half. Brandon Thomas-Asante managed to fashion another chance just before the break for the League Two side as he flashed a ball from the right across goal.

    Nobody in a red shirt managed to arrive though in time for the killer final touch.

    Portsmouth haven't got out of their changing room so far.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Derby 0-1 Millwallpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Shaun Hutchinson (45 mins)

    Smash and grab.

    From a corner Millwall centre-back Shaun Hutchinson is left unmarked to head in a simple opener for Gary Rowett's side.

    Naive defending from Derby.

  13. Postpublished at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Derby 0-0 Millwall

    Derby have had 69% possession at Pride Park and have a rare shot at goal to show for it.

    Kamil Jozwiak tries his luck from the edge of the box but Millwall keeper Bartosz Bialkowski beats it away.

    Wayne Rooney's Rams are playing three at the back this afternoon, with Colin Kazim-Richards captaining the side for the first time.

  14. Postpublished at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Bournemouth 1-1 Barnsley

    Barnsley defender Mads Juel Andersen finds himself in the book after a heavy challenge on Adam Smith, which leaves the Cherries man receiving treatment and a longish delay.

    He's limping off... Jack Stacey is on.

    The free-kick was headed wide by Dominic Solanke, it seemed to come off the side of his head. Bizarre connection.

    League Two update

    That mountain Cambridge had to climb at Oldham? Well it's been scaled in pretty quick time.

    Jack Iredale with their equaliser before half-time.

    Cheltenham, top at the start of the day, can't find a breakthrough yet at Exeter.

  16. EFL Trophy final latestpublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Portsmouth 0-0 Salford City

    How are Salford not ahead in this final?

    James Wilson has had a hat-trick of chances on his own.

    The latest sees him dispossess Sean Raggett in Portsmouth's half before running in on goal with a right-foot effort that he somehow skews wide of the far post when it looked easier to hit the target.

    Pompey need the half-time whistle to regroup here and quickly.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:42 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Cardiff 1-1 Watford

    Watford keeper Daniel Bachmann goes in the book for a clumsy challenge on Cardiff striker Kieffer Moore outside the box.

    Fortunately for him he had covering Watford defenders behind him, otherwise the colour of that card might have been different.

  18. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 2-0 Stokepublished at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Paddy McNair (40 mins)

    Boro have the wind in their sails and now have a two-goal lead.

    Paddy McNair was picked out on the left and drove towards goal, Harry Souttar came out to cover but the Northern Ireland international coolly rolled the ball through his legs and beyond Angus Gunn who was unsighted.

    Stoke are floundering.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    Nottm Forest 0-0 Reading

    Lucas Joao strikes the post for Reading, although it wasn't his best work.

    His shot was a scruffy one, catching Brice Samba out completely but the ball rolled the wrong side of the goal after brushing the upright.

  20. Postpublished at 15:40 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    League One update

    Oh wow.

    Kane Hemmings has a hat-trick for Burton inside 35 minutes at The Alex!

    Burton in cruise control against Crewe and set to pull further clear of the drop zone.

    Elsewhere Lincoln, who began the day in third, and Doncaster, fifth, are both being held at home to lowly opposition.
