  1. 'Win for Foxes would be against expectations'

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Leicester

    Owynn Palmer-Atkin
    BBC Radio Leicester commentator

    The good performances are continuing under Gary Rowett, the Foxes have played very well in this second half.

    A win for Rowett here could be huge and against all expectations.

  2. CLOSE!

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Leicester

    Oof. This is not far away at all.

    A Leicester free-kick runs out to the right touchline but Abdul Fatawu keeps it alive. He cuts back inside and curls it towards the far post and it flashes a matter of inches wide.

    Nervy moments for Boro. Will it be three games without a win for Kim Hellberg's side?

  3. goal

    GOAL West Brom 1-1 Charlton

    Lyndon Dykes (70 mins)

    Lyndon Dykes scores for Charlton against West BromShutterstock

    What did we just say?

    Kayne Ramsay lays a lovely pass through to Lyndon Dykes and the Scottish international runs through to slot in his second Charlton goal.

    It's gone quiet around the ground apart from a pocket of fans from south London.

    All those chances West Brom have had, and missed...

  4. West Brom 1-0 Charlton

    Jayson Molumby drives forward for West Brom once again.

    He lays it off for Isaac Price in the box but the Northern Irishman hacks his shot wide.

    The missed chances to counting up for West Brom - they do not want to be ruing them.

  5. 'Azon golden opportunity'

    Watford 0-1 Ipswich

    Mick Mills
    Former Ipswich and England captain on BBC Radio Suffolk

    Lovely slow ball on the ground to Azon from Nunez and he could've just done so much better and he knows it.

    19 yards out, dead centre, nothing in front of him. Should do better.

  6. 'Simple slotted goal from Matsuki'

    Southampton 3-0 QPR

    Jo Tessem
    Ex-Southampton midfielder on BBC Radio Solent

    Brilliant ball from Manning into Scienza who has a shot.

    That brings a good save from the keeper, but he should do better as he parries it into the pathway of Matsuki and he just slots it into the corner.

    Simple!

  7. goal

    GOAL: Southampton 3-0 QPR

    Kuryu Matsuki (50 mins)

    Southampton players celebrateShutterstock

    That, you suspect, is that.

    Joe Walsh can only parry Leo Scienza's shot into the path of Kuryu Matsuki and he fires in his second of the game, taking it very nicely on his left foot.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Watford 0-1 Ipswich

    Ipswich make a double change.

    Goalscorer Sindre Walle Egeli and Dan Neil take a breather.

    Wes Burns and Jens Cajuste are on for the final 24 minutes.

  9. GREAT SAVE!

    Hull 2-2 Derby

    Ivor Pandur to the rescue again for Hull to deny Derby. This should be 3-2.

    Bobby Clark races clean through and he really should slot it but Pandur does well to make the save low down. It wasn't really in the corner from Clark and will the Rams rue that huge missed chance?

  10. Sub time

    Wrexham 2-1 Portsmouth

    Ian Mitchelmore
    BBC Sport Wales at Stok Cae Ras

    Portsmouth have dominated this second half, and it prompts Phil Parkinson to turning to the bench.

    He sends on Kieffer Moore and Ollie Rathbone in place of goal scorer Sam Smith and Josh Windass.

    At long last in this second half, Wrexham have a spell of possession.

  11. SUBSTITUTION

    Blackburn 1-2 Bristol City

    Harry Pickering makes way for Dion De Neve for Blackburn. Andri Gudjohnsen is also on for Mathias Jorgensen.

  12. YELLOW CARD

    West Brom 1-0 Charlton

    Out comes Sam Allison's yellow card for the fifth time tonight.

    Charlton's Collins Sichenje catches Jayson Molumby and is cautioned.

  13. SUBSTITUTION

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Leicester

    Kim Hellberg has seen enough and makes a double change.

    Jeremy Sarmiento and David Strelec are introduced.

    It's been a fairly quiet night for Morgan Whittaker and he makes way, as does Alan Browne.

  14. Wrexham 2-1 Portsmouth

    Millenic Alli stays upright this time and sees his shot deflected wide for a corner.

    That's 13 corners for Portsmouth now and they have been well on top this half.

    They still trail though...

  15. SUBSTITUTION

    West Brom 1-0 Charlton

    Aune Heggebo was one of five changes made by Eric Ramsay for West Brom tonight.

    The Baggies top scorer is on now in place of Josh Maja.

    Heggebo has not scored for 13 games.

  16. Middlesbrough 1-1 Leicester

    You really wouldn't think there were 22 places and 29 points between these two sides.

    Leicester have looked arguably the more likely to score in this second half. Another 25 minutes plus stoppages to play.

  17. SUBSTITUTION

    Southampton 2-0 QPR

    QPR make one change for the second half with Rayan Kolli off for Daniel Bennie.

    Work to do for Julien Stephan's men.

  18. 'Slow strangle on the game'

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Leicester

    Matt Heath
    Former Foxes defender

    I get the sense that Middlesbrough are turning the screw.

    They're just starting to make it difficult for Leicester to make it out of their defensive area. A slow strangle on the game.

    It's a wise decision from Rowett to just change the personnel.

    We know Fatawu can make something out of nothing and give Ayew half a chance and he will score.

  19. YELLOW CARD

    Swansea 0-1 Preston

    Lewis Dobbin is cautioned for dissent before Swansea are again close to an equaliser.

    This time Ben Cabango heads wide when he should be doing better.

  20. SUBSTITUTION

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Leicester

    Leicester are continuing to make life difficult for Middlesbrough and are posing a threat. Now Luke Thomas has an effort deflected behind for a corner.

    And the Foxes are making a double change. Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu are on. Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Patson Daka make way.
