'A bit of fight about Leicester'published at 13:11 BST 18 April
Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester
Colin Hazelden
BBC East Midlands Today Sports Reporter at Fratton Park

Leicester fans start to raise their voices again. Most of the supporters I spoke to pre-match just wanted a bit of fight from their team.
There's definitely a bit of that about Leicester today. So far at least.

Millwall 2-0 QPR

Zak Sturge is played in by Thierno Ballo for Millwall.
Josh Coburn wants the ball cut back for a tap-in but Sturge goes for goal from a narrow angle and hits the side netting.

Millwall fans shouldn’t kid themselves, QPR have been on their holidays from the first minute. Ipswich, Southampton and Middlesbrough are not.

'Foxes recover after slow start'published at 13:07 BST 18 April
Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester
Dan George
BBC Sport at Fratton Park

After Portsmouth's fast start Leicester have recovered well and had a few decent attacks of their own.
Just less than 10 minutes before the break and both sides are still yet to have a shot on target but the Foxes do seem to be playing with more confidence after a fairly nervy start.
Will we see the deadlock broken before the interval?

Derby 1-0 Oxford

It's been a really frustrating opening 35 minutes for Oxford thus far.
The U's pick up possession and try to get the ball moving up to their attacking end but Yunus Konak's pass is heavy and wanders out of play, far away from it's intended target.
He tugs at his shirt in annoyance with himself.
Even when they look to string a few passes together, it's scrappy.

Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

The away side are starting to put things together a bit now.
They win a corner down their left that ends with Bobby de Cordova-Reid clattering a volley well over from a tricky angle.

YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:05 BST 18 April
Millwall 2-0 QPR

Rhys Norrington-Davies escapes the attentions of Millwall's Femi Azeez, well he does until the Millwall winger pulls his shirt.
Tom Nield does the necessary with the yellow card.

Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

The away side win another corner as Abdul Fatawu comes in off the right and hammers a shot the deflects behind.
Fatawu hangs it up to the back stick and the ball is eventually crossed back in from the other side by Jamaal Lascelles but his ball beats everyone.

Game starting to come alive again now.
Adrian Segecic gets in behind the Foxes defence down the Pompey right and he wins a corner.
The visitors clear the ball in but the ball is back with the home side.

Nice to see Derby are helping Leicester out, pity they can’t do it for themselves...

Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

The away side finally start to put some passes together.
An initial break forward broke down but they regathered possession and win a corner down their right.
Conor Shaughnessy powers it away to relative safety and the home side scramble it away at the second attempt.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:01 BST 18 April
Millwall 2-0 QPR

Amadou Mbengue throws himself into a tackle on Zak Sturge.
A second yellow card for a QPR player - they are at least leading in that statistic...

Postpublished at 13:00 BST 18 April
Derby 1-0 Oxford

Another opportunity for Jaydon Banel as he makes a run towards the front of goal.
The Rams goal scorer is found but this time his view of the net isn't clear and it's blocked to deny a quick double.
Postpublished at 12:56 BST 18 April
Millwall 2-0 QPR

Wow - Millwall come again.
A Femi Azeez cross is met by the head of Josh Coburn and Joe Walsh tips it over.
It is a case of when Millwall score again, not if.

Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

Half an opening for the home side as the ball is worked to Millenic Alli just inside the area and he looks to clip a cross to the back post but gets too much on it and sends it over the crossbar.
Postpublished at 12:55 BST 18 April
Millwall 2-0 QPR

QPR force a couple of corners but are quickly on the back foot again.
Josh Coburn flicks into the path of Camiel Neghli, we expect the net to ripple but he dinks it just wide.

The stop-start nature of things at Fratton Park has given Leicester players lots of time for animated pointing and discussion in touchline gatherings.
Foxes manager Gary Rowett wanted some leadership from his players - is a bit of that coming out there?

Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

About a quarter of the way into the game and we've not had a shot on target yet.
The bright start in this match already feels like a long time ago.

GOAL: Derby 1-0 Oxfordpublished at 12:53 BST 18 April
Jaydon Banel (22 mins)

This one will hurt.
Oxford's long throw into the Rams box, getting volleyed into the path of Jaydon Banel who blasts up almost the entire length of the pitch.
The visitors are caught sleeping by the move and have hardly anyone back when Banel arrives at the edge of their box.
The winger has Ben Brereton Diaz to his right but it matters not. Banel sets himself and whips a gorgeous strike past the keeper.

This will not be what Portsmouth fans will want to see.
Terry Devlin becomes the second forced change in the early stages after Keshi Anderson was withdrawn minutes ago.
Devlin went off with his shirt over his face, that did not look to be an encouraging sign for the full-back who recently picked up their player of the season award.
