  1. Swansea 0-1 Preston

    Callum Lang glances a header wide for Preston as we are into one minute of added time.

  2. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-1 Leicester

    Riley McGree (45+2 mins)

    That will settle some Middlesbrough nerves and Riley McGree has been in the goals recently.

    Hayden Hackney slips in Tommy Conway in the left channel and he pulls it back for McGree to sweep home into the corner.

    A third goal in four games for McGree and Boro will probably fancy their chances to go on and win this.

  3. Middlesbrough 0-1 Leicester

    A slight hint of desperation from Hayden Hackney here.

    He receives it int he area on the right-hand side and instead of showing patience to look for an option, he hammers it wildly into the side-netting.

    Into four added minutes at the end of the half.

  4. West Brom 0-0 Charlton

    A bonus four minutes added on at the end of a stale first period.

  5. 'Boro have underestimated us'

    Middlesbrough 0-1 Leicester

    Matt Heath
    Former Foxes defender

    I've not seen this aggressive press for a long time from Leicester.

    Middlesbrough don't know how to deal with this, they're not prepared for Leicester to have this much energy to start off counter-attacks.

    It's like Boro have underestimated us.

  6. SUBSTITUTION

    Wrexham 2-0 Portsmouth

    Portsmouth's Adrian Segecic joined the action in the aftermath of that goal.

    He's actually Pompey's top scorer this campaign and replaced John Swift who appears to have picked up a knock.

  7. Wrexham using their heads, literally

    Wrexham 2-0 Portsmouth

    Ian Mitchelmore
    BBC Sport Wales at Stok Cae Ras

    It's 2-0 to the hosts.

    It's a fine delivery from George Dobson from the corner, and Max Cleworth nods the ball into the back of the net, his second goal of the campaign.

    That's two headed goals for Phil Parkinson's men tonight, and they have some welcome breathing space now.

    John Swift is replaced by Adrian Segecic. Not quite sure if that's a tactical call or an injury, but Pompey have a huge task ahead of themselves now.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Hull 2-2 Derby

    Sam Szmodics (42 mins)

    Sam Szmodics cups his ears in celebrationShutterstock

    This game is doing a madness.

    Within three minutes of going behind, Derby are level once again.

    Patrick Agyemang with great work down the left as he fires across goal. Ivor Pandur can only parry the low cross into the path of Sam Szmodics who slots into an empty net.

    A first Derby goal for the Ipswich loanee and these play-off contenders are serving up a treat in this first half.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Wrexham 2-0 Portsmouth

    Max Cleworth (39 mins)

    Wrexham double their lead before the break!

    Sam Smith has been brilliant leading the line for the hosts and his shot is tipped over the bar leading to a corner.

    The ball is swung in by George Dobson and Max Cleworth gets up well and makes good contact with the ball, possibly via a small deflection, but in any case it's past the goalkeeper before he can move.

    Wrexham 2-0 up and they look very comfortable.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Hull 2-1 Derby

    Oli McBurnie (39 mins)

    Oli McBurnie celebrates for HullShutterstock

    Cometh the hour, cometh the man...

    Derby give the ball away deep inside their own half and Hull make the most of it.

    Joe Gelhardt plays it into Oli McBurnie in the area and he makes no mistake, firing into the bottom corner.

    That's 13 goals for the season now for McBurnie in 24 games.

  11. 'Deserved lead'

    Watford 0-1 Ipswich

    Mick Mills
    Former Ipswich and England captain on BBC Radio Suffolk

    Well we deserved to take the lead, it's a rubbish free-kick though.

    It comes off a defender, it goes to Egeli who volleys the ball into the ground and it goes wide of the goalkeeper into the net.

    A decent finish with pace that's on target. Another awful free-kick from Nunez though.

  12. Hull 1-1 Derby

    So close to another for Derby...

    Patrick Agyemang squares it for the onrushing Ben Brereton Díaz but Hull are just able to clear.

    And then Lewis Travis rifles a powerful effort on target from range but Ivor Pandur does well to parry it over the bar.

  13. Blunt Pompey

    Wrexham 1-0 Portsmouth

    Ian Mitchelmore
    BBC Sport Wales at Stok Cae Ras

    Pompey had a couple of half chances earlier on in the game, but Arthur Okonkwo has been untroubled so far tonight.

    The visitors are yet to register a shot on target as Wrexham remain 1-0 up thanks to Sam Smith's header.

  14. goal

    GOAL Watford 0-1 Ipswich

    Sindre Walle Egeli (37 mins)

    Sindre Egeli scores for Ipswich at WatfordShutterstock

    The away side have their noses in front.

    It's a third goal of the season for Sindre Walle Egeli as he seizes on a blocked free kick to volley beyond Egil Selvik.

  15. Wrexham 1-0 Portsmouth

    Wrexham haven't had any moments of real alarm at the back but they've just had a little warning not to switch off.

    There is some penalty area ping pong but the ball won't sit for Gustavo Caballero and the hosts can clear.

  16. PENALTY APPEAL

    Middlesbrough 0-1 Leicester

    Boro's corner strikes a Leicester hand in the air but the ref waves play on. Moments later, Alan Browne clashes heads with Caleb Okoli and both are down getting treatment.

  17. Watford 0-0 Ipswich

    Jeremy Petris gets away for Watford but can't force a save out of Christian Walton before Luca Kjerrumgaard heads just over the bar.

    Better from the home side.

  18. GREAT SAVE!

    Middlesbrough 0-1 Leicester

    Boro starting to press again in search of a leveller and they're not far off here...

    Tommy Conway works a yard of space in the box, shifts it out in front of him and fires low and hard towards the far corner but Asmir Begovic makes a brilliant finger-tip save to send it just wide of the post.

  19. SUBSTITUTION

    West Brom 0-0 Charlton

    Lloyd Jones is done for the night.

    The Charlton man has an ankle injury.

    On comes the Kenyan international Collins Sichenje
