    Notts County 2-0 Newport

    Mountain to climb for Newport as they go in search of a goal to get themselves back into this. Bobby Kamwa gets a shot away but it's a good challenge from Lewis Macari to thwart him.

    At the other end, Tom Iorpenda tries one from range but Jordan Wright makes the save.

    Bolton strike first!

    Stockport defender Joseph Olowu fails to deal with a ball over the top and Johnny Kenny does not give up the chase.

    The Celtic loanee shrugs off another challenge from Ethan Pye and then gets there first to clip over the onrushing Corey Addai.

  3. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:38 BST 6 April

    Bolton 0-0 Stockport

    Adama Sidibeh races into the box for Stockport and goes down under a challenge from Jordi Osei-Tutu.

    He wants a penalty but he's not getting one. That would have been incredibly soft to be honest.

    Peterborough 0-0 Cardiff

    A rare attack for Peterborough as Bolu Shofowoke eats up ground on the right-hand side and gets into the area but can only blaze an effort over the bar.

    Reading 0-1 Lincoln

    A painful one for Lincoln's Reeco Hackett as he rises highest to head clear a ball into the box but falls over his own team-mate and lands very awkwardly on the deck.

    He's back to his feet though and on we go.

  6. Postpublished at 15:34 BST 6 April

    Bolton 0-0 Stockport

    Very tight affair so far.

    Bolton have lost just once in 19 games at home this season (W12 D6) - and are undefeated in their past seven matches at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

    They'll be hoping that counts for something this afternoon.

    Oldham have been the team in the ascendency but it's MK Dons who have broken the deadlock at Boundary Park.

    Aaron Collins puts in a cross towards the far post which finds centre-back Marvin Ekpiteta who plants home a downward header.

  8. Postpublished at 15:32 BST 6 April

    Reading 0-1 Lincoln

    Huge cheers from the away end as Charlie Savage drives forward for Reading but scuffs an effort well wide from about 20 yards out.

    The Imps fans are going to cheer every single thing that goes their way today, you feel. And who can blame them? They are an hour of football away from confirming their place in the Championship.

  9. League Two latestpublished at 15:32 BST 6 April

    #bbcefl

    Some huge goals in the relegation battle as Jaze Kabia has given Grimsby the lead at Crawley to leave the home side just three points above the dotted line.

    Harrogate started the day at the bottom of League Two but an Ellis Taylor goal against Bristol Rovers has seen them leapfrog Barrow and Newport into 22nd.

  10. 'A struggle for Reading'published at 15:31 BST 6 April

    Reading 0-1 Lincoln

    Tim Dellor
    BBC Radio Berkshire commentator

    It is a little bit of a struggle for Reading in this game.

    It is almost a bit humiliating as Lincoln are allowing Reading to have the ball, but we aren't able to do anything with it.

  11. Postpublished at 15:31 BST 6 April

    Peterborough 0-0 Cardiff

    Cardiff's 12th attempt of the game goes to Omari Kellyman. It's a decent opening on the edge of the area but he can't really set himself and scoops it over the bar.

  12. Postpublished at 15:31 BST 6 April

    Oldham 0-0 MK Dons

    No goals yet in this one but MK Dons are putting a little pressure on now with Aaron Nemane looking lively down the wing.

    Ben Wiles puts a ball into the Oldham area but no one is there.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:29 BST 6 April

    Reading 0-1 Lincoln

    Reading are forced into an early change and it's a shame for Kamari Doyle, who has looked lively in recent weeks.

    The Brighton loanee limps off with an injury. Paddy Lane takes his place.

  14. Postpublished at 15:28 BST 6 April

    Peterborough 0-0 Cardiff

    Coming up to the half-hour mark and Cardiff have had 11 shots to just one for Peterborough.

    Just the two on target for the Bluebirds though. Just that real moment of quality lacking so far.

  15. Postpublished at 15:27 BST 6 April

    Peterborough 0-0 Cardiff

    Another Cardiff effort, another save by Alex Bass for Posh.

    Ollie Tanner's low effort from a tight angle takes a deflection and Bass gets down well to tip it away.

    It's all Cardiff at the moment.

  16. League One latestpublished at 15:26 BST 6 April

    #bbcefl

    Luton are a goal to the good at AFC Wimbledon after midfielder Kasey Palmer scored from the centre of the box, putting them within a point of the play-offs.

    Northampton's poor run of form continues as they are a goal down to Wigan who as it stands are five points clear of the drop after Callum Wright netted for the away side.

    Elsewhere, Leyton Orient have taken the lead against Huddersfield who still eye a play-off spot, due to a Radinio Balker own goal.

    Plymouth are also a goal ahead at Barnsley to sit level on 62 points in eighth position on goal difference following a Owen Oseni goal on the counter.

  17. Postpublished at 15:25 BST 6 April

    Bolton 0-0 Stockport

    Bolton's Ibrahim Cissoko pounces on a slip by Stockport defender Josh Dacres-Cogley and drives forward but his effort from the edge of the area is harmlessly wide of the mark.

  18. 'Certainly wouldn't bet against a third'published at 15:25 BST 6 April

    Notts County 2-0 Newport

    Mark Stallard
    Ex-Notts County striker on BBC Radio Nottingham

    Two free headers in a matter of minutes!

    The way Newport are defending corners you certainly wouldn't bet against a third from Lucas Ness here.

  19. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:24 BST 6 April

    Peterborough 0-0 Cardiff

    How are Cardiff not in front? Well, because of Posh keeper Alex Bass.

    Ryan Wintle fires towards the top corner but Bass makes an excellent save to tip it over the bar.

    The Bluebirds continue to push for the opener.

  20. goal

    GOAL: Notts County 2-0 Newportpublished at 15:24 BST 6 April

    Lucas Ness (23 mins)

    Notts County double their lead and it's Lucas Ness again!

    It's from another corner but this time from the left and Ness is there again unmarked to loop home a wonderful header.

    He'd never scored in the EFL before and now the centre-back's got two in four minutes.
