  1. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:19 BST 3 October

    Burton 1-2 Huddersfield

    Cameron Humphreys lines up a free-kick from just outside the Brewers box and whips a low left-footed effort past the wall.

    Corey Addai must see it late but flings an arm out to his left and tips the ball onto the upright and behind for a corner.

    Good reactions, and might have kept Burton in this game.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:19 BST 3 October

    Exeter 1-0 Rotherham

    Rotherham have sent on former Wales forward Tom Bradshaw as they chase a leveller in Devon.

    GOAL: Grimsby 0-2 Shrewsburypublished at 16:17 BST 3 October

    Kian McMahon-Brown (60 mins)

    Upset on the cards.

    Kevin Berkoe's cross is only headed to the edge of the area by Grimsby and Kian McMahon-Brown controls with one touch before firing a shot low into the corner beyond Christy Pym.

    He only returned from Republic of Ireland U21 duty at the end of the week and that might be the goal that gives Shrewsbury a first away league win of the season.

    Rochdale 0-0 Swindon

    The on-loan Brighton goalkeeper Nils Ramming is finally called into action for Rochdale.

    He keeps out Antwoine Hackford's shot.

    Two in four minutes for the Pilgrims.

    Bim Pepple sends Ronan Curtis down the right and his fine cross is powered into the roof of the net by Will Evans with keeper Nathan Baxter in no man's land.

    Plymouth's away form is second to none in 2026, and looks like it might be getting better.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:16 BST 3 October

    Grimsby 0-1 Shrewsbury

    The visitors spring away on the break.

    Kian McMahon-Brown has just been cautioned himself and is prevented from driving deep into the Grimsby half by a cynical foul from Cian Doyle who is carded for his troubles.

  7. Bradford 'happy to slow game down'published at 16:15 BST 3 October

    Reading 0-1 Bradford

    Bradford looking very happy to slow the game down as much as possible in the early stages of this second half.

  8. CLOSE!published at 16:14 BST 3 October

    Reading 0-1 Bradford

    Reading continue to do their thing, bossing possession and playing some neat stuff to push Bradford back.

    A Lewis Wing corner is met by the head of former Bantam Paudie O'Connor but his header drifts just over the bar onto the roof of the net.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:14 BST 3 October

    Grimsby 0-1 Shrewsbury

    Shrewsbury are spending more and more time without the ball.

    Kian McMahon-Brown is carded for a foul.

    The visitors then have to scramble away a loose ball as it bounces around in the edge of their 18-yard area.

  10. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:13 BST 3 October

    Burton 1-2 Huddersfield

    The half-time dressing down has clearly worked for Burton, they have been vastly improved.

    Finn Delap almost grabs his second of the game to level the scores but his far-post half-volley after a cross is only half cleared is brilliantly blocked by the legs of keeper Matt Young.

    After more than a month Exeter City have scored a league goal!

    Arguably the best move of the game was rewarded with Anthony Scully converting from close range to score on his debut.

    Charlie Cummins broke the midfield lines, slipped a lovely pass to George Birch whose low ball into the box was finished by Scully.

    St James Park has gone wild!

  12. 'Better and brighter' start for Roverspublished at 16:11 BST 3 October

    Crewe 2-0 Bristol Rovers

    Chris Spittles
    BBC Radio Bristol commentator

    This second half already looks better and brighter from Rovers after those changes.

    Keenan Gough has been on the pitch for a few minutes and he's already making a difference.

    He's crunched a couple of good tackles and made some nice passes already in this opening five.

    Finally a goal! Exeter hadn't scored a league goal since 1 September but Anthony Scully has taken just 51 minutes of his debut to stab in at the near post.

    Bim Pepple (52 mins)

    Five in six for Bim Pepple.

    It's not the most memorable he'll score, but it fits the game, it comes from a left-wing corner for the Pilgrims with the cross causing a near-post scramble which ends with the ball being fired into the middle for Pepple to poke home from a yard or so out.

    Could this be five wins in six at Brisbane Road for Argyle?

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:07 BST 3 October

    Grimsby 0-1 Shrewsbury

    Another Shrewsbury caution.

    This time it is Isaac Fletcher for a foul or it might be for booting the ball away when the free kick is awarded.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:06 BST 3 October

    Crewe 2-0 Bristol Rovers

    How poor were Bristol Rovers in the first half? Well, Steve Evans has made FOUR changes.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:04 BST 3 October

    Burton 1-2 Huddersfield

    Gary Bowyer has made a change at the break, bringing Matty Dennis on in attack in place of Kain Adom.

    Big 45 coming up for the Brewers, who have an eight-match unbeaten home record to preserve...
