SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 13:58 BST 18 April
Millwall 2-0 QPR

Tommy Watson and Macaulay Langstaff head on for Millwall.
Thierno Ballo and Casper De Norre make way.
We have 20 minutes remaining and the home side are holding what they have.

Portsmouth 1-0 Leicester
Matty Fryatt
Former Leicester City striker on Radio Leicester

Asmir Begović has got to come off his line for that ball, there is plenty of pace on the cross and he is two yards out.
He has to come out, whether it's a punch, or coming over the top.
The ball is just bundled in.

Derby 1-0 Oxford

Derby's Ben Brereton Diaz is an unmarked man at the moment.
He's again left to his own devices on the right and has plenty of time to deliver in a pinpoint cross into the box.
He doesn't though. It's got too much weight on it and out it goes.
The visitors might not offering up much threat but a lot of Pride Park might be getting a little nervous now.

It had been coming!
Huge goal!
Adrian Segecic swings a deep corner to the back stick and Ibane Bowat bundles it in.
It looks like it might touch his hand before going in off his knee but there's no VAR in the Cahmpionship and that goal will stand.
Leicester's position looks dire now.

'What a huge chance'published at 13:52 BST 18 April

What a huge chance for Portsmouth that was to take the lead.
Bishop's header through for Millenic Alli was perfectly weighted and the winger opened up his body to shoot but then dragged the ball back across Begovic and lost control of the ball.
Portsmouth fans around us were furious he didn't hit that first time!

That was a real chance for Portsmouth.
Let's hope that doesn't prove to be costly.

Postpublished at 13:52 BST 18 April
Derby 1-0 Oxford

Ben Brereton Diaz is free as a bird on the right but he chooses to loop the ball back into the box rather than take the shot.
It goes nowhere, as has many of Derby's attacks this afternoon.
Will they be made to rue them?

WOW!
What an opening for Pompey!
Colby Bishop heads the ball over the Leicester backline and Millenic Alli is in.
He tries to dribble around Asmir Begovic in the Foxes goal and runs it out of play.

SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 13:49 BST 18 April
Derby 1-0 Oxford

Over an hour in and we have our first changes.
Oxford boss Matt Bloomfield introduces Jeon Jin-Woo and Aidomo Emakhu.
Off goes Jamie Donley and Myles Peart-Harris.
Postpublished at 13:49 BST 18 April
Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

A prodigious long throw from Leicester full-back Luke Thomas on the right goes all the way to the back post and lands at the feet of Hamza Choudhury.
He hammers an effort into the side netting.
The Bangladesh international will want that one back.

SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:48 BST 18 April
Millwall 2-0 QPR

A fifth change for QPR.
Ilias Chair is back from injury and replaces Kwame Poku.

Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

Leicester will be four points adrift of safety having played a game more if this stays as it is and Oxford don't turn things around at Derby.
You can see what Gary Rowett meant about this being a must-win.

GREAT CHALLENGE!published at 13:46 BST 18 April
Derby 1-0 Oxford

Sam Szmodics is having a fantastic few minutes.
The corner leads to a fast break for Oxford and Myles Peart-Harris is thumping up field for a 1-v-1 with the Rams keeper.
Instead though, Szmodics is hot on the midfielder's heels and places a brilliant tackle to not only swipe away the scoring opportunity but also avoid a potential red card if he hadn't timed it just right.
Postpublished at 13:43 BST 18 April
Derby 1-0 Oxford

Sam Szmodics is found with a long diagonal ball and his first touch is superb.
Perfectly sets him up to make the run forward, though he can't shake the Oxford defender to rush his shot and it catches a deflection to bounce off the outside corner of the net.

Postpublished at 13:43 BST 18 April
Millwall 2-0 QPR

A chance for QPR and a decent one.
A lovely cross arrives on the head of Rumarn Burrell but, unmarked, he sends his header well wide.
Postpublished at 13:41 BST 18 April
Derby 1-0 Oxford

Oxford are applying a little more pressure now.
No doubt they'd have seen the score at Fratton Park during the break but Matt Clarke's defensive prowess has prevented them from capitalising on it so far.

Postpublished at 13:41 BST 18 April
Millwall 2-0 QPR

Not the same barrage of Millwall attacks as we had at the start of the first period but you get the feeling they will now happily sit there and wait for QPR to come onto them and then pick them off.
Lions boss Alex Neil will not want his players to let their concentration levels drop or expend any more adrenaline than is necessary.

Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

CHANCE!
Pompey get the ball forward down their left and Millenic Alli's cross into the middle is blasted towards goal by Conor Chaplin.
Veteran keeper Asmir Begovic is down at his near post to turn it behind.

As a Blackburn fan I was always hoping we would win yesterday, but I'll take a draw and if results go our way today, it doesn't really matter. Come on Eustace and Derby/Blackburn 2.0 do us a favour!

Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

After a bit of a delay we're also back under way at Fratton Park.
No changes from either side at the break.
Pompey had to make two subs in the first half because of injury so they only have one window to make further alterations now.
