Zac Ashworth scores his first Blackpool goal to give the hosts a 1-0 lead just three minutes outside of kick-off.

The left-back poached a rebounded ball to put Blackpool ahead but while the hosts are dominating possession, Northampton are carving chances of their own.

Can the Cobblers drag themselves out of the bottom four with a goal in the next half?

Northampton aren't creating much but there have been some warning signs that they are a threat.

Blackpool need to be careful not too drop too deep into their half because the away side are growing into this game.

Jordi Osei-Tutu is latest to strike towards the net but O's keeper Killian Cahill gets down low to smother it.

That's the second shot on target in this contest and both have been from Bolton. Not a lot of time to take a lead into the tunnel though.

You need to set a tone in a match and Rovers haven't done that so far.

It's been a poor game to watch and I don't know why they aren't getting the ball into the wide areas.

MK Dons are cruising into the top three as it stands, thanks to Callum Paterson's first half hat-trick against Shrewsbury.

Colchester are also making a bid for promotion, and have moved 2-0 up at home to Fleetwood to close the gap on the play-offs. Micah Mbick has doubled the Essex club's advantage.

Bromley keeper Grant Smith has produced some stunning saves so far this afternoon.

He is called into action again for his side as we approach the break, stretching his leg out to deny Fletcher Holman who struck from inside the box with his left foot.

Two goals in quick succession at the Select Car Leasing stadium, and Reading and Barnsley have cancelled each other out. Hayden Roberts opening the scoring for the hosts before David McGoldrick's equaliser.

Elsewhere, Kyrell Lisbie has put Peterborough ahead at Wycombe.

Northampton have a chance to draw the game level when Kamarai Swyer tries to nod one in from the middle of the box but his header clatters off Blackpool defences to deny an equaliser.

Thierry Gale sprints forward, moving into the box to unleash a low drive but it's not enough to really trouble O's stopper Killian Cahill. He gets his mitts around it to kill the shot.

Bristol Rovers forward Shaq Forde does well to win back possession for his side before taking aim and blasting a shot narrowly over the bar.

The Gas are yet to register a shot on target this afternoon.

I'm very impressed with the way this match is going so far, despite being a little concerned by Bromley early on. But now the home side aren't even defending very well.

Ever since Swindon found their feet and confidence to attack Bromley, they have been.

A bit of a surprise at the Bescot Stadium, as Accrington Stanley’s Benn Ward is not on the starting team sheet, even though he is at the ground.

There is no word on an injury and the news has come as a surprise in the press box.

He is apparently subject to a two-team transfer tussle between Wigan Athletic and Reading.

A couple of goals in League One to mention as we reach the halfway stage of the first 45, all concerning the bottom of the league.

22nd place Doncaster have scored twice to lead Wigan 2-0, Francis Okoronkwo and Jay McGrath with the goals.

Meanwhile Exeter have found the net away at Port Vale through Carlos Mendes Gomes.

Amario Cozier-Duberry can't play on for Bolton Wanderers.

He tried to continue after going to down earlier but he's taking another seat and this time it's a done deal.

He needs to be replaced by Cyrus Christie.

Swindon have another opportunity after what has been a positive start to this game.

Ollie Palmer surges forward and finds Aaron Drinan who then has a shot from the edge of the box but it is well saved by Bromley's Grant Smith.

What a save from Brad Jones - it could have been a tap-in for Salford.

What excellent goalkeeping that was.

Ryan Graydon nearly doubles the lead but is this time denied after a right-footed shot on goal.

Bristol Rovers goalkeeper Brad Young is on hand to make a brilliant stop and keep Salford's lead to just a goal.

The Blackpool backline are using the ball well and pulling Northampton all over the pitch.

You see players like Joel Randall are also happy to drive at the away defence.

Pretty even start at the Toughsheet.

Both sides have tried their hand at goal but Bolton's John McAtee drags his effort wide before O's midfielder Charlie Wellens can only guide his free-kick into the wall.

Zac Ashworth is at it again but finds himself shut out this time.

That opening goal was Ashworth's first for the Tangerines by the way. Could be a very valuable one in the relegation fight.
