    Barnet took the lead in the third minute of stoppage time from a close-range Callum Stead finish away at Fleetwood, who have also seen Shaun Rooney receive a straight red card for violent conduct.

    Harrogate are boosting their survival hopes as they lead 1-0 against Bristol Rovers, and have moved out of the bottom two for now.

    Gillingham are a goal to the good against Accrington, and Salford remain a goal down at Crewe, with the home side occupying the final play-off spot.

    Grimsby are in a good position with two goals at relegation-battling Crawley. Cambridge are maintaining their automatic play-off spot as they are a goal up against Cheltenham.

    Barrow and Chesterfield remain goalless. We are also yet to see goals in Swindon versus Walsall and Tranmere versus Colchester.

    Here's a quick look at the live table at the top of League One.

    Lincoln will be up regardless of their result if things stay level between Bolton and Stockport.

    But the Imps are doing their own job anyway at the moment.

    That one-goal lead has them on their way to the second tier.

  3. 'A fair reflection'published at 15:58 BST 6 April

    HT: Bolton 1-1 Stockport

    The score is a fair reflection, and I think both teams have had spells of control within the game.

    The way Stockport have set up is that they wanted to try and exploit space in behind Bolton's back line.

    Once Oliver Norwood is able to get that space and time he can be a massive influence.

    Stockport have got themselves back into the game, and it is a good game of football we are watching!

    Not too many goals in League One as we reach the 45-minute mark, but Luton are keeping their play-off hopes alive as they lead 1-0 at AFC Wimbledon.

    Wigan are boosting their survival hopes as they have extended their lead to 2-0 after a Jon Guthrie own goal at second-bottom Northampton who look to be extending their winless run to 11 games. Mansfield are 0-0 with Burton.

    Exeter have scored a big goal in their quest to avoid the drop as Jayden Wareham has given them a 1-0 lead against Doncaster. The Grecians move within two points of Burton as it stands. Plymouth are still ahead 1-0 at Barnsley.

    Luton and Wycombe are both still a goal to the good against AFC Wimbledon and Bradford, both leading 1-0.

    Huddersfield have equalised at Leyton Orient just before the break courtesy of Bojan Radulovic.

    Stevenage versus Blackpool remains goalless, with the Tangerines sitting just three points above the drop.

  5. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 BST 6 April

    Peterborough 0-0 Cardiff

    It's somehow all square at half-time.

    Plenty of efforts for Cardiff but no quality with the finishing touch.

    Perhaps the biggest talking point of the half was Bluebirds midfielder David Turnbull's heavy challenge on Posh defender Tom Lees.

    Lees was forced off with injury following the tackle and Turnbull was probably lucky to avoid a red card.

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 BST 6 April

    Oldham 0-1 MK Dons

    Marvin Ekpiteta's header separates the two sides at the break at Boundary Park.

    MK Dons closing the gap on leaders Bromley to two points as things stand.

  7. Postpublished at 15:50 BST 6 April

    Peterborough 0-0 Cardiff

    We've nearly played the six added minutes in this first half at London Road but still, Cardiff cannot break the deadlock.

    The Bluebirds have now had 15 attempts to no avail.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 BST 6 April

    Notts County 2-0 Newport

    Two goals in four minutes from defender Lucas Ness has the Magpies in front at the break at Meadow Lane.

    Both goals came from headers and were mirror images with the centre-half left unmarked. It was poor defending from Newport who have work to do in the second half.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 BST 6 April

    Lincoln are 45 minutes away from the Championship.

    Ryan One's header is the difference at the break and the 65-year wait for second tier football is almost over.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 BST 6 April

    Bolton 1-1 Stockport

    All square at the break.

    Johnny Kenny clipped Bolton in front but Adama Sidibeh levelled on the stroke of half-time to leave this one well in the balance.

    A big 45 coming up for these sides in their play-off and promotion campaigns.

  11. Food for thoughtpublished at 15:48 BST 6 April

    Reading 0-1 Lincoln

    The last time Lincoln were in the second tier, Ipswich and Sheffield United claimed the two promotion places ahead of third-placed... Liverpool.

    The Reds went up as champions the following season and, by and large, things have gone quite well for them since.

    GOAL: Bolton 1-1 Stockportpublished at 15:47 BST 6 April

    Adama Sidibeh (45+3 mins)

    Stockport have pinched an equaliser on the stroke of half-time!

    A cross comes in from the left from Ben Osborn and it hits Adama Sidibeh who is attacking it at the back post and it rolls into the far corner.

  13. INJURY TIMEpublished at 15:47 BST 6 April

    Reading 0-1 Lincoln

    Four minutes added on at the end of this first half.

  14. CLOSE!published at 15:47 BST 6 April

    Oldham 0-1 MK Dons

    Oldham go in search of an equaliser as Mike Fondop heads wide from a Ryan Woods corner.

    At the other end Ben Wiles goes close, but his sliced effort goes wide of the post in the side netting.

  15. INJURY TIMEpublished at 15:46 BST 6 April

    Bolton 1-0 Stockport

    Into three added minutes at the end of the first half and Johnny Kenny goes close again for Bolton.

    He spins on the edge of the area and fires just wide of the mark.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:46 BST 6 April

    Peterborough 0-0 Cardiff

    Tom Lees cannot continue for Peterborough as he limps off in visible pain after that poor challenge by David Turnbull. He's replaced by Peter Kioso.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:43 BST 6 April

    Peterborough 0-0 Cardiff

    This is a nasty-looking challenge by Cardiff midfielder David Turnbull and he's left Peterborough's Tom Lees in a heap on the floor.

    Lees is still getting treatment.

    Probably lucky there is no VAR in the EFL. They'd be looking at this again for a potential red.

    Cambridge are doing everything they can so far to maintain their automatic promotion status as Sullay Kaikai has given them the lead away at Cheltenham.

    Gillingham are a goal to the good against Accrington following a close-range header by Andy Smith.

    Grimsby have doubled their lead at Crawley with a Harvey Rodgers strike to move within a point of Crewe in seventh.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:42 BST 6 April

    Notts County 2-0 Newport

    Newport boss Christian Fuchs makes the first change of the game in a bid to get his side back into this as Cameron Evans comes on. Matt Smith makes way.

    Bolton 1-0 Stockport

    Keith Hill

    There was a little bit of hesitation from the Stockport County defence.

    Johnny Kenny's shot was perfect to send it over into the net, there have been times where the backline of Stockport haven't looked the strongest.
