Whistles are being sounded across the country as the first half draws to a close in the English Football League.

Time for a breather.

Millwall still lead but Cardiff are pressing for that equaliser.

Lions keeper Bartosz Bialkowski does brilliantly to tip over Robert Glatzel's headed effort.

A big chance for Swansea to double their lead.

Jamal Lowe hits one from close range but his effort comes off the post.

Marvin Johnson tests the reflexes of Norwich's Netherlands goalkeeper Tim Krul, forcing him into action with a low strike.

Boro certainly not cowed by the Canaries this afternoon.

Carlisle have beaten Crawley 3-0 in the early game with David Sesay shown a red card late on for Crawley.

Oldham have taken a 2-1 lead against Exeter after going a goal down and Salford have doubled their advantage going two up at home against Bradford.

Tranmere are now leading Grimsby 4-0 while Bolton and Leyton Orient are both winning 2-0 in their respective games.

Watford keeper Ben Foster must have summoned some sort of higher power in order to keep QPR are bay, here.

Dominic Ball's close range effort is well saved right in front of goal by Foster.

A sensational save.

Ryan Allsop's fingertips again the source of frustration for Bryan Mbeumo, turning the ball away from goal from another big chance.

Lovely through-ball by Ivan Toney, but Brentford still can't score.

After that frantic opening, the goals have slowed in League One.

But there was an important one that went in a while ago at the top where leaders Peterborough are behind to Blackpool through Jerry Yates' effort.

As it stands Hull City are going top this evening.

Are Preston utilising their player advantage against Sheffield Wednesday in their pursuit of a valuable three points?

Well, Barry Bannan's effort is cleared away for the visitors before he tries his luck again before Preston's Tom Barkhuizen is called into action to clear it again.

Preston living dangerously against the 10-man Owls.

Ryan Yates has the ball in the net for Nottingham Forest but it's no goal. Offside.

We're getting closer to a goal at Oakwell. The hosts hit the bar twice and Forest had one ruled out.

Norwich have been forced into shots from distance, which given some of the fine strikers of a ball they have is not a terrible tactic.

That said, Lukas Rupp is the latest to have a pop but his effort rattles wide.

Bryan Mbeumo thwacks the post for Brentford, though it was Ryan Allsopp's key touch which kept it out and turned it onto the frame.

Brentford purring at the moment, Josh Dasilva the architect of that Mbeumo chance.

Boro-born Ben Gibson denies his hometown club with an excellent intervention as Djed Spence got a teasing ball in.

Gibson had long been a Teessiders target but ended up joining Norwich on loan back in September.

It should be 2-0 to Watford right now and QPR are lucky not to concede, here.

Rs keeper Seny Dieng puts in a last gasp fingertip save to deny Andre Gray's close range low strike and the ball rolls across the face of goal.
