    Barnsley 0-3 Preston

    Great night for Preston and their owner Trevor Hemmings so far.

    Better luck than his racing colours today anyway - Dream Du Grand Val was pulled up at Exeter earlier.

    He's got a couple more runners entered for Doncaster on Friday.

    No action in the second half yet at the Riverside.

    Couple of changes for Boro in that first half remember, might the half-time team talk have settled them out after the hasty personnel changes.

    Barnsley 0-3 Preston

    One more for North End and it really will be goodnight Charlie.

    Josh Harrop swings in a free-kick from the left and Alan Browne meets it at the far post.

    But he can't direct the header and it drifts wide.

  8. Kick-offpublished at 20:51 GMT 21 January 2020

    Back underway in both tonight's Championship matches.

    Anyone have the away double?

    Meanwhile, it's goalless between Colchester and Bradford where Eoin Doyle's wait for Bantams goal goes on - he's had an effort ruled out for offside.

    James: Alex, please stop commenting on the @BarnsleyFC, external game. Everytime you’ve mentioned us, @pnefc, external score another!

    I think that's what's called the commentator's curse!

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:40 GMT 21 January 2020

    Peterborough 2-0 Wycombe

    Posh in charge at the break through Ivan Toney and Siriki Dembele.

    Darren Ferguson's are moving back to within a point of the play-offs as it stands.

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:37 GMT 21 January 2020

    Barnsley 0-3 Preston

    Preston had only scored two goals away from home once all season.

    But they have three in the first half at Oakwell.

    And surely another three points.

    Tom Barkhuizen (45 mins)

    Game over?

    Oh dear this is horrible for Barnsley. Two defenders get in each other's way and the ball bobbles through to Tom Barkhuizen who sprints into the area.

    His shot comes off the goalkeeper and bounces into the top of the net.

    Siriki Dembele (44 mins)

    It looks like Peterborough's horrible run of form is coming to an end.

    They've gone six games without a win in League One but Siriki Dembele's fine finish after a lovely one-two with Ivan Toney has doubled their lead over 10-man Wycombe.

    League Two latest

    Goals in League Two are like buses... you wait ages for one and two come along at once.

    Macclesfield lead promotion-chasing Crewe in new boss Mark Kennedy's first home game in charge through Paul Green's own goal.

    And Northampton are in front at Leyton Orient thanks to a fierce rising drive from Ryan Watson.

    Middlebrough 0-1 Birmingham

    So close for Blues!

    Kerim Mrabti fields a clearance and he turns a shot onto the outside of the post.

    But now another injury for Boro - Dael Fry forced off and Nathan Wood comes on.

    Preston have a second and control in Yorkshire.

    Tom Barkhuizen with a run to the byline, turns in a cross for Josh Harrop whose effort is blocked.

    But the rebound falls for Daniel Johnson who stretches and turns a right-foot shot into the right corner.
