  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:09 GMT 6 December 2025

    Swindon 1-0 Bolton

    Swindon put on some fresh legs to try and keep that lead.

    Will Wright makes way as James Ball joins the field as the only change at the break.

  2. 'Big 45 minutes for Cheltenham'published at 16:09 GMT 6 December 2025

    Cheltenham 1-2 Buxton

    Mark Halliwell
    BBC Radio Gloucestershire summariser

    Some of the defensive play has been really poor for Cheltenham.

    Buxton have pressed really well, but the decision making at times for Cheltenham has not been good enough.

    It is a big 45 minutes for Cheltenham's season.

  3. HALF-TIME SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:08 GMT 6 December 2025

    Cheltenham 1-2 Buxton

    Perhaps unsurprisingly following his error that led to Buxton's first goal, Cheltenham defender Scot Bennett has been hooked at half-time by Robins boss Steve Cotterill, who replaces him with Robbie Cundy.

    In the early stages of the second period, Buxton skipper Connor Kirby tries his luck from range but it goes high and wide.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:08 GMT 6 December 2025

    Fleetwood 0-0 Luton

    Just the one change at the break.

    Liam Walsh replaces George Saville for Luton.

    We are back under way in the 3pm kick-offs across the FA Cup second round this afternoon!

  6. Luton have 'had the best chances'published at 16:00 GMT 6 December 2025

    HT: Fleetwood 0-0 Luton

    Luton will need to raise their level after the break. They’ve had the best chances, with Nordas and Alli forcing smart saves from David Harrington in the Fleetwood goal.

    There have been plenty of warning signs at the other end though with Graydon and Evans probably ruing a couple of decent chances.

    Before kick-off, I saw the groundstaff wiping the posts dry. Why? Answers on a postcard please. Given the steady drizzle falling on the Fylde coast, I suspect that may be a futile exercise during this interval.

  7. Elsewhere at half-timepublished at 15:57 GMT 6 December 2025

    Not a huge barrage of goals elsewhere around the grounds in that first half - just four to be exact - but some important ones nonetheless.

    Perhaps the biggest story so far could be unfolding at Accrington as the League Two side go into the break 1-0 up against League One opponents Mansfield courtesy of Isaac Heath's opener. An upset on the cards.

    Exeter are a goal to the good against fellow League One side Wycombe, League Two MK Dons lead fourth-tier rivals Oldham and Wigan are 1-0 up against Barrow.

    National League South clubs Chelmsford and Weston-super-Mare go into the break all square.

    It's also goalless between Peterborough and Barnsley, Port Vale and Bristol Rovers and injury-hit Cambridge at Stockport.

  8. 'Two poor individual errors'published at 15:54 GMT 6 December 2025

    HT: Cheltenham 1-2 Buxton

    Mark Halliwell
    BBC Radio Gloucestershire summariser

    Two really poor individual errors have seen Buxton ahead at the break.

    It must be said that Buxton have taken their goals very well.

    After the first goal, Cheltenham looked the better side but they pressed self-destruct yet again, just before the break.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 GMT 6 December 2025

    Grimsby 3-0 Wealdstone

    Half-time at Blundell Park and Grimsby have one foot in the FA Cup third round already.

    Jaze Kabia got the Mariners going after seven minutes with a calm finish following good work by Charlie Vernam before Kieran Green doubled their advantage from distance.

    Jamie Walker made it three midway through the first-half for Grimsby following more good work from Vernam.

    It's a long way back for the Stones who are aiming for their first appearance in the FA Cup third round for 47 years.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 GMT 6 December 2025

    Cheltenham 1-2 Buxton

    Half-time and there are some boos from a portion of the Cheltenham faithful - their side trail Buxton at the break!

    Buxton have been threatening from the outset and Tai Sodje gave the Bucks the lead after 13 minutes, capitalising on an error by returning Robins defender Scot Bennett.

    Isaac Hutchinson calmy levelled the scores for the home side before Buxton re-took the lead right on half-time when defender George Ward glanced home a devilish free-kick from Connor Kirby, who has been excellent throughout.

    Can Buxton reach the FA Cup third round for the first time since 1951-52? Stay with us for this one.

  11. 'Cheltenham have themselves to blame'published at 15:49 GMT 6 December 2025

    Cheltenham 1-2 Buxton

    Mark Halliwell
    BBC Radio Gloucestershire summariser

    I said earlier that Buxton were dangerous from set-pieces and look what has happened.

    They have so many big players at the back post and George Ward has got on the end of it.

    Cheltenham only have themselves to blame, they have handed it to Buxton just before the break.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 GMT 6 December 2025

    Swindon 1-0 Bolton

    A converted penalty gives Swindon a slender 1-0 lead at the break.

    But while there's only been one goal, there's been plenty of spectacle with Swindon keeper Connor Ripley making multiple clutch saves.

    The hosts have also missed some huge open play opportunities themselves though, most notably from Billy Bodin who struck wide after pouncing on Trotters captain Eoin Toal's poor pass at the back.

    Huge chances squandered by the Robins - will Bolton finally get past Ripley to make them pay?

  13. goal

    GOAL: Cheltenham 1-2 Buxtonpublished at 15:47 GMT 6 December 2025

    George Ward (45+2 mins)

    You could see that coming - Buxton retake the lead at Cheltenham!

    It is a wicked free-kick from the left hand side by Connor Kirby and George Ward gets in front of his marker to glance the ball into the corner, giving Robins keeper Joe Day no chance.

    The shock of the round is back on again!

  14. ADDITIONAL TIMEpublished at 15:47 GMT 6 December 2025

    Cheltenham 1-1 Buxton

    A mistake from first-half sub Arkell Jude-Boyd sees him booked.

    Four minutes of additional time have just been announced by the fourth official.

    Buxton have a free-kick just outside the box from the left. Connor Kirby looks to be whipping this one in with his right foot in a dangerous position.

  15. 'Buxton look a threat from set pieces'published at 15:46 GMT 6 December 2025

    Cheltenham 1-1 Buxton

    Mark Halliwell
    BBC Radio Gloucestershire summariser

    Buxton certainly look like a threat from set-pieces, constantly causing problems.

    However, Cheltenham have been the better side in this one so far.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:46 GMT 6 December 2025

    Fleetwood 0-0 Luton

    Luton winning the possession game but Fleetwood are getting their chances.

    Will we see either team break their duck on the other side of the half-time whistle?

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:46 GMT 6 December 2025

    Swindon 1-0 Bolton

    Bolton's Thierry Gale has been sharp this afternoon but it's possible Swindon keeper Connor Ripley has been even better.

    He's stretching high to tip out Gale's knifed strike into the top corner by his fingertips and is just as lively for the corner to deny Chris Forino's nod.

    Brilliant stuff from the keeper.

  18. CLOSE!published at 15:44 GMT 6 December 2025

    Grimsby 3-0 Wealdstone

    Josh McEachran almost gets Grimsby's fourth but, from the edge of the area, his low drive whistles past the post.

    They have been in total control of this cup tie this afternoon.

  19. Exeter and MK Dons in frontpublished at 15:43 GMT 6 December 2025

    An all-League One tie between Exeter and Wycombe has been closely contested but it's the Grecians who have struck first.

    Jack Aitchison meets a cross with an excellent diving header to send it past Chairboys keeper Will Norris.

    And in an all-League Two encounter, it's MK Dons who lead Oldham 1-0 thanks to Joe Tomlinson's strike.

  20. CLOSE!published at 15:42 GMT 6 December 2025

    Cheltenham 1-1 Buxton

    Every time the ball goes into the Cheltenham penalty area you think there could be trouble.

    From a deep centre, Buxton captain Connor Kirby's goalbound volley is well blocked by some last-ditch Cheltenham defending.

    The resulting corner creates more pinball in the box but, eventually, the Robins clear their lines.
