    Dan Umphray: Horrific by Derby. I’m off to sleep. Rooney will resign by the time I’m awake in the morning here in Sydney, one hopes. He’s ruined our club.

    You wonder what defeat and relegation today would do for Wayne Rooney and his managerial career? It's a big hour or so coming up for both Derby and him personally.

    The majority of the Derby players have run off the pitch at the break while Wednesday's players are taking a more leisurely stroll to their dressing room.

    Of course, Rotherham's lead means that this Owls win might not be enough to keep them up but they can't worry about that.

    That Sheffield Wednesday goal is contentious but I'm looking on the near side and seeing the Derby player that's slightly towards the corner flag.

    I do think Sam Hutchinson is onside, but I might be wrong.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:26 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Derby 0-1 Sheff Wed

    Martyn Waghorn sends the free-kick over the bar for the Rams.

    That's half-time.

    Derby are heading to League One after that Sam Hutchinson goal for the Owls in injury time.

    Wednesday will survive if they win and Rotherham draw at Cardiff.

    Derby 0-1 Sheff Wed

    Derby get a free-kick deep into stoppage time as Julian Borner blocks off Colin Kazim-Richards.

    It's in a good position for a shot.

    Derby boss Wayne Rooney stands almost motionless on the touchline.

    There's been nothing in this game, but his side will be going in behind at the break.

    They need to score twice in the second half or it will be League One for them next season

    That changes everything! It's not looking good for Derby.

    Wayne Rooney has arguably got the biggest team talk of his managerial career.

    They just have to go for it.

    GOAL: Derby 0-1 Sheffield Wednesdaypublished at 13:22 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Sam Hutchinson (45+ 4 mins)

    MASSIVE goal in first-half stoppage time.

    Sam Hutchinson puts the visitors ahead from a long throw.

    Kelle Roos gets down to save a Jordan Rhodes header after the throw in from the right was flicked on.

    Hutchinson is there to tuck in the rebound. That gives Wednesday hope of surviving.

    Derby need two goals now to stay up.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:21 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Derby 0-0 Sheff Wed

    First caution of the day goes the way of Owls midfielder Barry Bannan.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:20 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Middlesbrough 0-2 Wycombe

    Goals from Fred Onyedinma and Garath McCleary have rock-bottom Wycombe on course for a final-day win.

    But the Chairboys need another 11 goals for any chance of survival.

    Rotherham are doing what they can do.

    They need to forget about what everybody is doing.

    Their 1-0 lead away to Cardiff means they're staying up as it stands.

  16. Stoppage-time goalspublished at 13:19 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Couple more goals in first-half stoppage time in some of the other games...

    Ben Brereton's neat finish from a long ball forward has put Blackburn Rovers 2-1 up against Birmingham City.

    Kyle McFadzean meanwhile has volleyed in a lovely finish from a corner to put Coventry City 2-0 up against Millwall.

    Derby 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Into five minutes of added time at Derby after that treatment for Martyn Waghorn and a couple of other first-half injuries.

  18. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:17 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Cardiff 0-1 Rotherham

    Matt Crooks heads a Michael Smith cross wide at the end of first-half stoppage time.

    Lewis Wing's brilliant volley has given Rotherham hope of staying up, but the Millers should be further ahead.

    As things stand, Paul Warne's men are staying up on goal difference.

    But a goal for Derby at Pride Park would change that.

  19. Postpublished at 13:16 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Middlesbrough 0-2 Wycombe

    Fred Onyedinma fires narrowly over the Boro bar, with the hint of a minor deflection.

    The Chairboys just have too much to do.

    Scores elsewhere

    Barnsley looking very good for fifth spot now as Connor Chaplin helps them regain the lead against Norwich City.

    Callum Styles pings in the cross and Chaplin stoops low to meet it with his head and direct it to the far corner.

    Meanwhile, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has equalised for Luton Town at QPR to make it 1-1.
