Stevenage are level again and it's from a corner on the right hand side. Harvey White's in-swinger goes all the way through and the goal has been awarded to Louis Appere - who gets the faintest of flicks, if he even touches the ball at all! Either way, we're all square again! Tom Ince (45 mins) Tom Ince doubles the lead for Watford before half-time. Imran Louza's lofted ball over the top finds Ryan Andrews wide on the right. He flashes a ball across the box for Ince to tap home. Watford in control. Will Boyle (29 mins) Who writes these scripts etc etc. .. The League One side lead at Bramall Lane, defender Will Boyle had gone close early on and now puts them ahead. A corner is nodded down and Boyle is free on the six-yard line and can't miss. Paul Smyth (36 mins) Cambridge goalkeeper Jack Stevens won't want to see that again. He does not get a clean hold of the ball and QPR's Paul Smyth is there to tap it into the empty net. HT: Stockport 0-4 Blackburn Steve O'Halloran Former Stockport defender on BBC Radio Manchester I don't think anyone was expecting a chance for County to cause an upset. There's a lot of youth out there. It's a professional job from Blackburn tonight. You can't say it's been mistakes from this Stockport side. You'd hate to see a 16 or 17-year-old make a mistake on his debut but they've not really put a foot wrong, they haven't looked out of place. It's just been quality from Blackburn. Liam Thompson (37 mins) What a finish! Liam Thompson takes the ball off Dajaune Brown just inside the area, catching the ball on the bounce with a right-foot half-volley into the top corner. We're all level at Pride Park. Diallang Jaiyesimi (45+7 mins) Right on the verge of the half-time break, Diallang Jaiyesimi doubles the home side's lead with a powerful finish for his first competitive goal for the club. Ryan Ledson (37 mins) No manager - no problem! North End lead at Deepdale. Ryan Lowe has left but Ryan Ledson has stepped up, the midfielder hitting a shot which takes a horrid deflection to give the Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Moore absolutely zero chance. Ronan Coughlan (33 mins) The home side lead! A lovely one-two between Ronan Coughlan and Mattie Virtue sees the former tuck the ball away for 2-1. Is the cupset on? Bristol City 0-0 Coventry Not much happening at Ashton Gate - Kasey Palmer has gone close against one of his former clubs, dragging a shot wide. Onel Hernandez (35 mins) This game has sprung into life in the last 15 minutes. Norwich move the ball at pace through the pitch with a lovely team move, with Onel Hernandez meeting Jack Stacey's ball and finishing high into the corner to give the home side the lead. A first goal in 18 months for Hernandez. #bbcefl The teams are in for the half-time break in our two of our 19: 30 kick-off matches. Blackburn have Stockport wishing they could press the reset button after a brilliant first-half showing with four goals including two from Sammie Szmodics. League Two side Carlisle have come close to an opener against the young team fielded by their Championship opponents, with defender Archie Davies missing with two shooting opportunities. Sam Austin doubles Notts County's lead at Shrewsbury. It's 2-0. Bromley's lead over Wimbledon didn't last long as Josh Kelly equalises with a low shot into the bottom-left corner to make it 1-1. Port Vale also level at Barrow thanks to Ruari Paton. Also 1-1 there. Having missed a penalty, Charlton are now behind at home to Birmingham as left-back Brandon Khela cuts inside on his right foot curls in an absolute beauty from 25 yards out. The last Blues player to score at The Valley was a certain Jude Bellingham. And a delay at Colchester - who lead Reading 1-0 - as the sprinklers came on! Have they employed Bernie Ecclestone to liven things up? Sheff Utd 0-0 Wrexham What a connection! United striker Rhian Brewster arrives on a corner with a sweet, sweet volley but it fizzes a few yards over the top! Armando Dobra (29 mins) It's the team from the north of Derbyshire that take the lead. Joe Quigley's through ball finds Armando Dobra on the right side. He finishes into the bottom corner with Rams goalkeeper Josh

Vickers bearing down on him. Charlie Good (28 mins) Stevenage hit straight back! The lead lasted all of two minutes. Charlie Goode heads in from a free-kick to level things up for the away side. Abu Kamara (26 mins) A first Norwich goal for Abu Kamara. It's not the cleanest from the Canaries but they won't mind - Borja Sainz playing the ball into Onel Hernandez in the Stevenage box. His mishit shot goes straight to Kamara just a couple of yards out, who turns and tucks the ball in for the lead. Preston 0-0 Sunderland What a chance! Managerless Preston should be behind but somehow Abdoullah Ba fails to convert a free header from about five yards out! Got his timing all worng and duffed it wide. Mattie Pollock (24 mins) The Hornets' pressure tells! Watford have had 78% possession and have created most of the chances in front of their fans. And it's Mattie Pollock who rises highest to meet Tom Ince's cross and send a looping header over Nathan Harness in the MK Dons goal Ronald (25 mins) Swansea missed what had previously been their best chance by firing over from a tight angle. But this time, Ronald uses his strength to hold off the covering defender and neatly bends his effort over the goalkeeper to give Luke Williams' side the advantage they deserve. © 2024 BBC.
