  1. Rovers 'convincingly second best'published at 15:56 BST 3 October

    HT: Crewe 2-0 Bristol Rovers

    Lee Mansell
    Former Bristol Rovers midfielder on BBC Radio Bristol

    That first half made for tough watching. Here's hoping the second 45 can be much better and we see more of the Rovers we're used to seeing.

    They've been second best quite convincingly. A big second half coming up for Rovers now.

  2. 'Bradford have managed the first half well'published at 15:54 BST 3 October

    HT: Reading 0-1 Bradford

    Jamie Raynor
    BBC Radio Leeds' Bradford City commentator

    Boos greet the half-time whistle, which gives you an idea of what the Reading supporters think and feel of the officiating in that first half.

    Inside four minutes Bradford were 1-0 up, with Jake Beesley doing exactly what he was signed to this club to do.

    From there on in, City have managed the first half well. Reading have applied some pressure but haven't been able to break Bradford down.

    Rochdale 0-0 Swindon

    Aden Flint has come the closest for either side.

    The Rochdale defender headed a cross narrowly over against his former team.

    The last time these two sides met in the EFL it finished 4-4 - we will have to go some to get anywhere near that in the second half.

  4. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 BST 3 October

    Salford 0-0 Fleetwood

    All very even in the lovely autumnal sunshine.

    Adam Murphy has come closest to breaking the deadlock with his shot well saved by Salford goalkeeper Will Norris.

  5. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 BST 3 October

    Accrington 0-0 Cheltenham

    Cheltenham have had more of the ball but created nothing with Stanley wasting two fine chanecs to take the lead. Will the visitors kick on as they chase top spot?

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 BST 3 October

    Leyton Orient 0-0 Plymouth

    Not the best game, if we're honest, but Plymouth have had the better of it.

    Oliver Irow has seen a couple of shots saved low to his left by O's keeper Nathan Baxter but it's all to play for in the second half.

    Grimsby 0-1 Shrewsbury

    George Lloyd's close-range finish on 19 minutes separates the sides at the break.

    Charles Vernam has seen two shots saved by Will Brook in the visitors' goal.

    Grimsby's unbeaten home record is under serious threat.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 BST 3 October

    Exeter 0-0 Rotherham

    Brent Pilnick
    BBC Sport at St James Park

    Goalless at the break here at Exeter - something the home fans are getting used to having not scored in more than a month.

    But they have seen their side go close a couple of times - new signing Anthony Scully and midfielder Taylor Perry both should have scored with clear cut chances.

    The Millers have yet to make Exeter keeper Jack Bycroft make a save - surely this will not stay goalless in the second half?

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 BST 3 October

    Reading 0-1 Bradford

    The League One leaders are 1-0 up, once again, seeking a fourth straight win by that scoreline.

    Jake Beesley's thumping header for his first Bantams goal after four minutes separates the sides, though he saw another ruled out for offside, while Reading have given it a good shot in a 100mph match, while missing top scorer Jack Marriott.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 BST 3 October

    Crewe 2-0 Bristol Rovers

    A stunning opening from Crewe - but don't forget that they have drawn their past six in League Two...

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 BST 3 October

    Burton 1-2 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield should have wrapped the points up in the first half of a rather strange game.

    The Terriers have dominated most of the half but it took two gifts from the Burton defence to give them this half-time lead.

    Derensili Sanches-Fernandes pounced on a poor pass to slot the opening goal, and though Finn Delap levelled with an angled rocket of a strike from outside the box, Bali Mumba was given the freedom of the Pirelli Stadium to control and finish shortly before the break.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 BST 3 October

    Gillingham 0-0 Newport

    The visitors should be ahead.

    Michael Adu-Poku has had an effort cleared off the line while Matty Jacob hit the side netting when well positioned.

    But the biggest chance came for Christian Doidge as he headed against the bar from close range.

    Harry Waldock has fired inches wide for Gillingham.

    Accrington 0-0 Cheltenham

    Accrington may well live to regret the chances they have wasted in this first half...

  14. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:46 BST 3 October

    Gillingham 0-0 Newport

    A needless card for Newport's Harrison Biggins who has been excellent in this first 45 for Newport.

    He just barges over James Brophy in the middle of the park with the Gillingham man going nowhere.

    Grimsby 0-1 Shrewsbury

    Andy Cook gets free in the area for Grimsby but has the ball taken off his toes just as he is about to shoot.

    The ball comes back off the hoardings and in his frustration, Cook slams it into the crowd and has to apologise several times to those behind the goal.

    GOAL: Burton 1-2 Huddersfieldpublished at 15:40 BST 3 October

    Bali Mumba (39 mins)

    Burton's defence are MIA.

    Huddersfield have been the better team by miles but Burton have shot themselves in the foot again as Bali Mumba is given, literally, 10 yards of space around the penalty spot to control a cross from Derensili Sanches-Fernandes and hook the ball past Corey Addai for his first Terriers goal.

    Gary Bowyer will be irate at the break, you'd imagine.

  17. 'A full-blooded affair with real quality'published at 15:39 BST 3 October

    Crewe 2-0 Bristol Rovers

    Peter Morse
    Crewe summariser on BBC Radio Stoke

    Crewe could do with calming it down a bit if possible here but it's been a great game to watch so far.

    A real full-blooded affair with some real quality.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:38 BST 3 October

    Accrington 0-0 Cheltenham

    Well played again Wyll Stanway! The Cheltenham keeper was exceptional last week against Chesterfield and he makes a brilliant save with his feet to deny Accrington's Stefan Mols.

  19. Postpublished at 15:37 BST 3 October

    Leyton Orient 0-0 Plymouth

    Not too much in the way of goalmouth incident in this one but Charlie Wellens cross has been headed on target by Jaze Kabia, only for Argyle keeper Murphy Cooper to make a routine save.

    Exeter still very much bossing this half. They should be 2-0 up but their woes in front of goal have cost them.

    After Anthony Scully's early effort was blocked Taylor Perry has dragged a shot inches wide of the far post when through on goal.

    Rotherham boss Alex Bruce is urging his side on from the touchline, but so far his side have little to show for their efforts.
