    Lincoln 3-1 Peterborough

    Lincoln back on the front foot after the break as Adam Reach swings in a cross from the left which is met by the leaping Rob Street, only for his header to sail over Alex Bass' crossbar.

  2. CLOSE!published at 13:19 GMT 4 January

    Bolton 0-0 Northampton

    Mason Burstow involved at both ends... firstly clearing a Cobblers corner at his near post and then intercepting a loose pass from Max Dyche and driving forward before lashing narrowly wide of Ross Fitzsimons' post.

    MK Dons 2-0 Chesterfield

    It's just not happening for Chesterfield in front of goal.

    They earn two set-pieces. First a free-kick that leads to a corner but make zero dents into the Dons defence.

    Perhaps having three brand new faces in the starting XI isn't really paying off...

  4. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 13:16 GMT 4 January

    Bolton 0-0 Northampton

    Jack Vale and Elliot List have been withdrawn by Kevin Nolan just short of the hour mark, with Tom Eaves and Kyle Edwards introduced to give the Bolton defence something else to think about.

    Steven Schumacher has also made a double change with Richard Taylor and Ethan Erhahon subbed off and Max Conway and Joel Randall heading on.

    Bolton 0-0 Northampton

    Another glimpse for Amario Cozier-Duberry on Bolton's right, he drives at his man but can only drag a low shot past Ross Fitzsimons' upright.

    Lincoln 3-1 Peterborough

    We're under way at the LNER for the second half... Lincoln took a two-goal lead into the break but you feel Posh benefitted more from the interval than the hosts.

    Another official-related delay means this one is running around 10 minutes behind the others so stay tuned for late drama after 2pm.

    Bolton 0-0 Northampton

    Bright from the Cobblers as Joe Wormleighton gets the ball off Richard Taylor and fizzes an inviting ball into the middle but Sam Hoskins can't quite get on the end of it.

    A change from the Chesterfield bench.

    The booked Adam Lewis is off to make room for Dylan Duffy.

  9. CHANCE!published at 13:09 GMT 4 January

    Cheltenham 0-0 Crawley

    Cheltenham almost find the back of the net but Josh Flint puts in a excellent block on Jake Bickerstaff's tap in. It was a goal-saving challenge.

    That was the Robins' best opportunity of the game so far.

    Bolton 0-0 Northampton

    There's the attacking threat of Amario Cozier-Duberry, he latches onto a pass from Kyle Dempsey down the right before trying to swing in a cross, only for the ball to ricochet back off him via Nesta Guinness-Walker and roll behind for a goal kick.

  11. Postpublished at 13:06 GMT 4 January

    Bolton 0-0 Northampton

    Decent stuff from Northampton as Jack Vale tries to play Jack Perkins through on goal but it's cut out well by the back-tracking Amario Cozier-Duberry, who shows he's more than just a tricky attacker.

  14. 'You don't go in at 3-1 without Darikwa'published at 12:59 GMT 4 January

    HT: Lincoln 3-1 Peterborough

    Jimmy Walker
    Former Lincoln City goalkeeping coach on BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    You talk about individual performances to drag you back in, I am shell-shocked at 3-1, and it could have been even better.

    We couldn't get to grips with how Peterborough were playing in the first half, you thought there was only one winner.

    You don't go in at 3-1 without Darikwa - absolutely outstanding.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 12:54 GMT 4 January

    Lincoln 3-1 Peterborough

    I think we should all say thankyou to the EFL for the hot-air covers which ensured this game went ahead... (perhaps Posh fans might disagree, though).

    Harry Leonard turned home from close range to give Peterborough a deserved lead on 24 minutes but after a delay for a change of assistant referee, Lincoln equalised almost immediately through Reeco Hackett's low finish.

    Freddie Draper hooked home to turn the game on its head in the 45th minute while Tendayi Darikwa's thunderbolt from 20 yards two minutes later has the Imps heading level on points with leaders Cardiff as things stand.

    It needed a good last-ditch block from Carl Johnston to deny Hackett his second and Lincoln's fourth in the final seconds of the eight additional minutes too.

    We all need a breather after that final 20 minutes.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 12:53 GMT 4 January

    MK Dons 2-0 Chesterfield

    A stunning strike from Rushian Hepburn-Murphy is the best of a half devoid of much action.

    Hepburn-Murphy found the net with an impressive shot from outside the box to give the hosts a 2-0 lead before the break after Callum Patterson opened the scoring with a neat finish from inside the box.

    MK Dons haven't offered much otherwise but neither have Chesterfield.

    The visitors will need to take get things going and quickly if they are to turn this around.

  17. 'Burstow must be frustrated'published at 12:52 GMT 4 January

    HT: Bolton 0-0 Northampton

    Keith Hill
    Former Bolton and Barnsley boss on BBC Radio Manchester

    Mason Burstow must be frustrated, he regained possession, if he's pressing I would always have two players supporting so that if he forces an error he's got options.

    It should be natural for Dempsey to be able to do it, I don't know if there's a lack of energy, you want players who are up to speed with matches to be able to create game after game.

    Northampton are settled in behind the ball, playing a slow game, there's a big, big pressure on Bolton players to put a performance in and win these games.

    MK Dons 2-0 Chesterfield

    There's five minutes added to this one.

    Chesterfield will feel a whole lot better if they can get to within one goal of their comfortable hosts.

  19. 'Darikwa has turned the game on it's head'published at 12:51 GMT 4 January

    Lincoln 3-1 Peterborough

    Jimmy Walker
    Former Lincoln City goalkeeping coach on BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    That's fantastic play.

    As soon as it dropped to Darikwa you could feel the confidence, as soon as it left his foot you knew it was going in, he absolutely smashed it in.

    Peterborough were well on top, we were limited to longer balls, trying to nick something in the press, Darikwa has turned the game on its head for me.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 12:51 GMT 4 January

    Cheltenham 0-0 Crawley

    Goalless at the EV Charger Points Stadium.

    No real chances of note from the home side while Crawley's best fell to Taylor Richards who was denied by Joe Day.
