    Rotherham 0-0 Nottm Forest

    Both teams have rippled the side netting now, as Forest come close though Cyrus Christie.

    The full-back danced in off the right, angling across the edge of the box before zipping a low squizzer that had Viktor Johansson swiftly moving but it rapped the wrong side of the post for Forest.

  2. CLOSE!published at 20:14 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Luton 0-0 Millwall

    As I say that Millwall create a big opening but can't make it count.

    Tom Bradshaw is put through but his touch is heavy and Luton keeper Simon Sluga is able to collect.

    Middlesbrough 0-3 Bristol City

    Duncan Watmore spoons a curling shot over the top, as Middlesbrough again forge themselves some pressure in the Bristol City box.

    No way through yet.

    Derby 1-0 Huddersfield

    Bright start to the second-half by Huddersfield, as they win a throw which is hauled in by Aaron Lowe but the header by Matthew Clarke gets the ball clear.

    Controlled by the home side despite the pressure.

    Luton 0-0 Millwall

    Millwall are eight games unbeaten but are struggling to get into their stride.

    Luton centre-back Sonny Bradley is doing a good job marking fellow big man Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, and the sides are cancelling each other out for now.

  6. Pompey in front at U'spublished at 20:12 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    #bbcefl

    A big goal in the League One promotion race, with Portsmouth taking the lead at in-form Oxford United.

    Harvey White has headed in his first senior goal from 12 yards for Pompey, who were beaten by Oxford in last season's play-offs.

    In League Two, Aaron Martin has given Harrogate the lead against Mansfield.

    Rotherham 0-0 Nottm Forest

    Forest squeeze in on the Rotherham goal after a corner but as the cross is swung to the back-post the referee's assistant puts the flag up as Glenn Murray was offside.

    Filip Krovinovic hit a scorching first-time volley all the same, but it was always going wide and Ryan Yates' touch simply confirmed the assistant's call.

    Middlesbrough 0-3 Bristol City

    Back under way at the Riverside where it was a big first-half for the visitors.

    Interesting stats. Boro had seven shots to Bristol City's six. However, only one was on target. All six of the Robins' were on target.

    Three were goals.

    Rotherham 0-0 Nottm Forest

    Really good driving run by Rotherham puts pressure on the Forest goal, and Michael Smith cuts in and sweeps a fizzing low drive which forces Brice Samba to scrabble across goal, though it flashes into the side netting.

    That was a good chance.

  10. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:06 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Wycombe 0-0 Reading

    Wycombe have started well at Adams Park but need a great save from their keeper David Stockdale to keep them on level terms.

    Andy Rinomhota bursts through for Reading but Stockdale stays big to block the shot.

  11. Postpublished at 20:06 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Derby 1-0 Huddersfield

    Two half-time changes for Derby, as Martyn Waghorn and Kamil Jozwiak are sent on. Goalscorer George Edmundson is one to go off, and Lee Gregory also makes way.

    Huddersfield have replaced Fraizer Campbell, with Kieran Phillips on instead.

    Tuesday's EFL action

    We're back under way in our three 19:00 GMT games in the Championship.

    Nigel Pearson will be hoping for more of the same as he watches his new Bristol City side at Middlesbrough, while Norwich need to do more if they are to win at Birmingham and go 10 points clear at the top.

    Rotherham 0-0 Nottm Forest

    Luke Freeman tricks his way into the Rotherham box for Forest but tumbles after running into Michael Ihiekwe.

    No penalty.

    The Millers break but another burst is brought to a halt by an interception, and the resulting corner is no threat to the visitors' goal.

    Rotherham 0-0 Nottm Forest

    Arguably the best chance so far has gone Rotherham's way, albeit it was headed over the bar by Michael Ikiekwe.

    Very blustery conditions at the New York Stadium, one boot from Forest keeper Brice Samba just sailed through to opposite number Viktor Johansson.

    Tells you what they're dealing with.

    Wycombe 0-0 Reading

    Fred Onyedinma tries his luck from just outside the area for Wycombe, but his shot is well wide.

    Gareth Ainsworth's side need to start picking up wins quickly, and fifth-placed Reading haven't been in the greatest form of late.

    And here's the headlines so far in League Two:

    • Salford City lead at Morecambe midway through the second half.
    • Tranmere twice come from behind to level at 2-2 with Carlisle.
    • Exeter ahead at Colchester; Eoin Doyle's penalty has Bolton in front against Scunthorpe.
    • Bottom side Grimsby pegged back by Crawley and level at 1-1, courtesy of Jack Powell's free-kick for the Sussex side.

    Luton 0-0 Millwall

    Luton have set up with a back five to match up to their opponents.

    Nathan Jones was fuming after Saturday's 3-0 defeat at Stoke so the Hatters clearly looking to keep things tighter.

    Millwall are the Championship's draw specialists - but let's hope this one isn't a drab 0-0.

  18. League One headlinespublished at 19:53 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    #bbcefl

    It's half-time in the majority of our League One games, with only AFC Wimbledon against Gillingham into the second half.

    • Leaders Lincoln 2-1 behind at home to Swindon. Imps had levelled through Jorge Grant, only for Brett Pitman to put Swindon back in front.
    • Ipswich lead 1-0 at Hull through James Norwood's angled finish.
    • Shrewsbury score three times in the first 20 minutes, including two penalties, as they lead MK Dons 3-1.
    • Struggling Burton come back from a goal down to level at Charlton.
    • Bristol Rovers goalless with Wigan in Joey Barton's first game in charge. Also goalless at AFC Wimbledon, Northampton, Oxford, Sunderland and Plymouth.

    Rotherham 0-0 Nottm Forest

    Almost a remarkable solo-run by Filip Krovinovic dancing through the Rotherham defence took him almost in on goal, but a fine sliding challenge from Wes Harding stopped him in his tracks.

    Just what you love to see, fleet feet and thunderous tackles.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 19:48 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2021

    Middlesbrough 0-3 Bristol City

    Comprehensive first-half scoreline by way of Bristol City as they lead a shell-shocked Middlesbrough by 3-0.

    Famara Diedhiou got two and Nahki Wells the other as the Robins struck on the break, perfectly executed counters to capitalise on Boro's defensive frailty.

    Ashley Fletcher has gone off for the home side too, adding more pressure on Neil Warnock's side.
