    West Brom 1-0 Charlton

    Josh Maja is inches from doubling West Brom's lead.

    Played in, one-on-one with Thomas Kaminski and his shot is wide.

    Will the live to regret that?

  2. 'Rowett style apparent'published at 20:57 GMT 24 February

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Leicester

    Owynn Palmer-Atkin
    BBC Radio Leicester commentator

    Leicester seem to be playing different passing avenues under Gary Rowett, the ball spends more time in the air.

    They're just lifting it over the Middlesbrough press.

    I imagine the low block won't be too far from being implemented if Leicester were to go two up.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:57 GMT 24 February

    Hull 2-2 Derby

    Ryan Giles cannot continue for Hull and he's replaced by Cody Drameh.

  4. Postpublished at 20:57 GMT 24 February

    Blackburn 1-2 Bristol City

    Blackburn are looking brighter since the restart and should probably be level.

    Ryan Alebiosu floats a ball in for Mathias Jorgensen but he heads wide from close range.

  5. Postpublished at 20:56 GMT 24 February

    Hull 2-2 Derby

    Another great chance for Derby. Ben Brereton Diaz races past Ryan Giles, who pulls up with a hamstring injury.

    Diaz goes into the box on the right and sets it back for Sam Szmodics but Charlie Hughes makes a great block.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:55 GMT 24 February

    West Brom 1-0 Charlton

    West Brom's Jayson Molumby is a touch late with a tackle.

    Too late for referee Sam Allison's liking and out comes the yellow card for the Baggies midfielder.

  7. goal

    GOAL: Wrexham 2-1 Portsmouthpublished at 20:54 GMT 24 February

    Zak Swanson (49 mins)

    Well, well well...

    Pompey didn't trouble Arthur Okonkwo at all in the first half but it's taken just four second-half minutes for them to halve the deficit.

    Zak Swanson is played in by Regan Poole and his deflected effort hits the back of the net.

    Game on!

    Watford 0-1 Ipswich

    As a survivor of serious heart illness as a child, it means a huge amount to see Bove on tonight - a special and remarkable story of resilience, perseverance, ambition and pure heart and courage.

    Joel, Watford

    Great shout, Joel. Edoardo Bove is making his second appearance for the Hornets having signed from Roma in January.

    Bove collapsed on the pitch two years ago and was subsequently fitted with a cardiac defibrillator.

  9. CLOSE!published at 20:53 GMT 24 February

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Leicester

    My word, Leicester should be ahead.

    It's a terrible header back by Boro defender Luke Ayling who doesn't get nearly enough on it and Patson Daka pounces.

    Daka is one-on-one with Sol Brynn but heads narrowly wide of the mark.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:53 GMT 24 February

    Southampton 2-0 QPR

    Saints go into the changing rooms two goals to the good.

    That second just before half-time is a real blow to QPR's chances of getting anything out of this.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 20:52 GMT 24 February

    Swansea 0-1 Preston

    Plenty of admin for home fans as Swansea make three changes.

    Gustavo Nunes, Malick Yalcouye and Josh Key are on.

    They replace Ronald, Jay Fulton and Leo Walta.

  12. Postpublished at 20:52 GMT 24 February

    Hull 2-2 Derby

    What an effort this is by Derby's Patrick Agyemang.

    It drops for him in the six-yard box from a tight angle and he opts for the overhead kick... but it's just over the bar.

    Blackburn 1-2 Bristol

    Bristol City absolutely dominated that half. A great step up from Swansea. Pring immense. Struber has selected a fabulous team. Looking forward to a great second half. My opinion, don't change anything Strubes!

    Alison, Clifton

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:50 GMT 24 February

    West Brom 1-0 Charlton

    Charlton bring on Tyreece Campbell for the second 45.

    Miles Leaburn is the man to make way.

    Very little attacking threat from the away side in that opening half.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:50 GMT 24 February

    Hull 2-2 Derby

    Derby have made a change at the break. Joe Ward is on for Callum Elder.

  16. 'Matsuki almost in tears'published at 20:50 GMT 24 February

    Southampton 2-0 QPR

    Adam Blackmore
    BBC Radio Solent sports editor

    It's the first time Saints have gone two up in the first half of a game at home in 2026.

    Kuryu Matsuki scores from Leo Scienza's swirling corner and he's almost in tears as he gets his first Saints goal right on half-time!

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:50 GMT 24 February

    Blackburn 1-2 Bristol City

    A half-time change apiece.

    Sondre Tronstad is replaced by Moussa Baradji for Blackburn.

    Neto Borges is on for Rob Atkinson for Bristol City.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 20:49 GMT 24 February

    Watford 0-1 Ipswich

    Changes for the Hornets at the break.

    Giorgi Chakvetadze and Jeremy Petris are off.

    On come Edoardo Bove and Jeremy Ngakia.

    Can they help to stir the home side?

    Kuryu Matsuki (45+2 mins)

    And they get it!

    That's a horrible one for QPR to concede - timing wise and in how it arrived.

    Leo Scienza sends in a corner and Kuryu Matsuki is given the freedom of St Mary's to jump and nod in completely unmarked.

    Awful marking and it isn't great goalkeeping from Joe Walsh either who seemed glued to the spot as the lively Matsuki headed it out from under his nose.

    Utter joy for Saints but QPR had better prepare themselves for a rocker from their manager I suspect.

    Coley [19:49] Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!

    Frank, Glastonbury

    I do hope Coley is off having a hard look at himself, Rovers are lucky not to be four down. Also a genuine hats off to the Robins fans who've made it up, that's a long way to come on a Tuesday night!
