Birmingham 1-0 Southampton
Richard Wilford
BBC Radio WM commentator
Blues have got a lot to do to see this over the line but they're in a good position here.
They come precariously close to a second.
Birmingham 1-0 Southampton
Almost two for Birmingham! Jay Stansfield picks it up about 40 yards from goal, drives forward and fires a powerful effort towards the bottom corner but Gavin Bazunu gets a vital glove on it for Saints and it crashes out off the post.
Norwich 0-0 Watford
Nestory Irankunda replaces Othmane Maamma for Watford.
Mattie Pollock's header is saved by Norwich goalkeeper Vladan Kovacevic.
We are running out of time to find a goal.
Sheff Wed 0-0 Blackburn
Hillsborough is one of only two grounds without a goal tonight.
Todd Cantwell drags a shot wide from the edge of the box after a good cutback.
Not sure we're going to get one, either.
Portsmouth 1-0 Charlton
Charlton are pushing for an equaliser but so far Pompey are standing strong.
The hosts are coming under a bit of pressure from the visitors with five minutes plus stoppages to play.
Ollie Rathbone (77 mins)
Christmas is being very, very kind to Wrexham!!
Ollie Rathbone is slipped through by George Dobson and the substitute slots it past Daniel Iversen.
Macaulay Langstaff (81 mins)
Against the run of play.
Bristol City have been on top in this second period but they are behind for the second time tonight.
Macaulay Langstaff is on hand to poke home from close range for just his second goal of the season.
Middlebsrough 0-1 Hull
The contest resumes between Delano Burgzorg and Ivor Pandur and the goalkeeper wins it again.
Burgzorg with a sharp turn and shot but Pandur pushes it over the bar.
Birmingham 1-0 Southampton
Jo Tessem
Ex-Southampton midfielder on BBC Radio Solent
I thought Manning could have been a bit more aggressive there.
I think Bazunu should also get more on that, it's a loopy header but he's on the line.
Wrexham 1-0 Preston
George Thomason, who is revelling in his switch to left-wing back stands up the cross for Sam Smith.
It's met by Sam Smith, whose looping header comes back off the post.
Phil Neumann (49 mins)
Breakthrough for Birmingham! Moments after almost going behind, Blues are ahead.
There's a game of head tennis in the Southampton area after a free-kick is sent into the box and it eventually drops for Phil Neumann, who diverts a looping header in via Gavin Bazunu's flailing hand and the crossbar.
Birmingham are looking to end a run of five games without a win and they're on track.
Birmingham 0-0 Southampton
Caspar Jander pulls back Birmingham's Patrick Roberts as he skips past him and takes a yellow card for the team.
Millwall 1-1 Bristol City
Joe Bryan replaces Zak Sturge for Millwall who also replace Alfie Doughty with Thierno Ballo.
Can we find a winning goal in this one?
Birmingham 0-0 Southampton
Southampton almost take the lead inside 50 seconds of the restart!
The Saints win an early free-kick and Taylor Harwood-Bellis meets it from close range, flicking it on towards goal.
But James Beadle makes an excellent reaction save for Blues to deny Harwood-Bellis, who cannot believe it hasn't gone in.
Wrexham 1-0 Preston
Wrexham have not won consecutive games in the Championship all season.
Victory here and they could be within three points of the play-offs.
After three successive promotions, they couldn't, could they?
Leicester 2-1 Derby
Andreas Weimann replaces the injured Bobby Clark for Derby who need to find an equaliser but it is not looking likely at the moment.
Birmingham 0-0 Southampton
We're back under way for the second half at St Andrew's.
Middlesbrough 0-1 Hull
Neil Maddison
Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Tees
Image source, ShutterstockHull have defended so well, they've got the lead and we've struggled to break them down.
It's a real defensive unit, the Boro lads up front haven't really had anything. We haven't really managed to get in behind them in the middle of the pitch.
Oxford 0-1 Swansea
Oxford felt it appropriate to remind fans it had been 600 days, external since their last league penalty on social media earlier.
Craig Short's side have had just 10 touches in the Swansea box so far this evening, so it looks like that stat could become 601 in the next 20 minutes.
Middlesbrough 0-1 Hull
Ivor Pandur to the rescue as he makes a big save to keep put Delano Burgzrog after the ball had fallen in the box for the sub.
Tigers under the cosh, but defying Boro at the moment.
