    GOAL: Notts County 2-1 MK Donspublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 1 April

    Alassana Jatta (48 mins)

    Not a bad start to the second half for Notts County.

    Alassana Jatta heads the ball into the top corner for his fifth goal of the season, set up neatly by Adam Chicksen.

    MK Dons are all over the shop at the moment and dreams of automatic promotion out of League Two are being dented.

    Those orange segments have done the trick. Sutton have a second goal at home to Swindon and are eyeing a fourth straight win. It's not how you start, it's how you finish, I suppose.

    Keeper Jack Bycroft has turned into his own net, the hosts are 2-0 up and have closed their goal difference disadvantage to second-bottom Colchester from six to five. Every little helps.

    Burton 1-0 Barnsley

    To put it mildly, Barnsley's first-half performance wasn't greeted with too much applause from their supporters and manager Neill Collins has made a couple of changes at the break.

    Herbie Kane and Corey O'Keeffe are both off for the Tykes, with Adam Phillips and John McAtee coming on.

    Carlisle 0-1 Lincoln

    Carlisle must have been doing the sums during the half-time interval and realised they are staring relegation in the face as it stands.

    The home side have started the second period really strongly, with Jon Mellish's header tipped over the bar by Imps keeper Jordan Wright and Daniel Butterworth hitting the post soon afterwards.

    Portsmouth and Derby are the two clubs best placed to win automatic promotion from League One, so their meeting at Fratton Park on Tuesday will have plenty riding on it - especially if the teams below them take care of their own business today.

    Both sides are bang in form; leaders Pompey have gone 13 games unbeaten since a sticky spell at the turn of the year, while Derby have won five of their past six matches.

    You can follow live text coverage of that match, as well as updates of Doncaster v Wrexham in League Two, on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sport app and website tomorrow.

    • With leaders Stockport goalless at home to AFC Wimbledon, closest rivals Mansfield seeing their game postponed and third-placed Wrexham not in action, most of the drama has come in the basement battle.
    • Forest Green are bottom but have a stunning 3-0 half-time lead at promotion-chasing Crewe. They are three points adrift of Sutton, who are 1-0 up at home to Swindon.
    • Colchester have slipped into the bottom two as it stands, despite coming from behind to make it 1-1 at Tranmere.
    • Grimsby are a point ahead of Sutton after being denied by a stoppage-time equaliser in the early game against Bradford, while Swindon and Salford, losing 1-0 to play-off chasing Walsall, have seen their cushion to the drop zone cut to nine points.
    • In the play-off race, Gillingham lead 1-0 at Harrogate to stay seventh at the moment, a point clear of Crawley who are 2-0 up at Newport.
    • Morecambe are three points behind seventh spot despite leading fifth-placed Barrow 2-0 at the interval, while Notts County and fourth-placed MK Dons are level in the day's other game in the fourth tier.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 1 April

    Stockport 0-0 Wimbledon

    Not loads happening in this one at Edgeley Park.

    Both sides have had their chances.

    Wimbledon with the best opportunity to break the deadlock before half-time but James Tilley pushed his spot-kick wide.

    At the break, the home team maintain their narrow advantage at the top of League Two.

    Meanwhile, the visitors are still one point adrift of the play-off places.

    GOAL: Bolton 2-1 Readingpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 1 April

    Aaron Collins pen (45 mins)

    OK, those Reading celebrations were brief...

    Aaron Collins was adjudged to have been brought down in the box by Amadou Mbengue and the Bolton frontman gets up to steer home the spot-kick for his second of the game, deep in first-half injury time.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 1 April

    Crewe 0-3 Forest Green

    Are relegation battlers Forest Green peeling themselves off the canvas in the League Two survival battle?

    They have dominated this first half against sixth-placed Crewe, who still need points to extend their cushion from the division's play-off chasing pack.

    What a first half at the Mornflake Stadium.

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 1 April

    Notts County 1-1 MK Dons

    Notts County get level just before the half-time oranges.

    MK Dons, who can go level on points with third-placed Wrexham with a win, led for most of the first half.

    All to play for after the break.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 1 April

    Burton 1-0 Barnsley

    Burton are currently heading for their first win in nine games, courtesy of Joe Powell's strike and Barnsley have it all to do.

    Sam Austin (45+4 mins)

    Notts County snatch the equaliser just before half-time. And it was as easy as you like for Sam Austin.

    MK Dons made a right hash of it at the back. All square.

    Owen Dale has added a third for Oxford at home to Fleetwood a couple of minutes before the break.

    Their half-time cuppa will surely taste hot and sweet while Town's will be cold and bitter.

    So far, so good for Lincoln, who are looking for a fifth straight win to cement their top-six spot and lead through that early goal by Ben House.

    As for Carlisle, their stay in League One could be over after a single season.

  18. League Two latestpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 1 April

    Gillingham have retaken the lead in the race for the final play-off race in the live table as George Lapslie has put the Kent club ahead at Harrogate, who are now eight points behind them.

    The only game without a goal in this division is now leaders Stockport against AFC Wimbledon. Who'd have thought it?

  19. goal

    GOAL: Bolton 1-1 Readingpublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 1 April

    Lewis Wing (40 mins)

    Didn't see that one coming, to be honest!

    All the chances up to now have fallen Bolton's way, but Lewis Wing pulls one out of the bag to bring the visitors level just before half-time.

    Wing's drive takes a deflection and loops up out of Joel Coleman's reach.

    You suspect the Portsmouth and Derby camps will also be celebrating that one ahead of their meeting tomorrow night...

    Big goal. Northampton have taken the lead at home against in-form Port Vale who slip further into the mire, Mitch Pinnock with the opener for the Shoe Army.

    Vale are now third-bottom with Cheltenham currently goalless at home to Exeter.
