Portsmouth v Millwall postponed due to floodlight failure Leeds beat Luton to return to top of Championship Results: Cardiff 0-2 QPR, Leeds 3-0 Luton, Middlesbrough 0-1 Blackburn, Derby 1-2 Swansea QPR climb off bottom of table Hull sack Tim Walter after four straight losses Get involved #bbcefl Andrew Aloia, Glenn Speller & Harry Everett Joel Piroe (45+1 mins) Joel Piroe slams home his seventh goal of the season to double Leeds' advantage. Thomas Kaminski first comes up with a save from a Pascal Struijk header from a corner, but he can only palm the ball into the path of Piroe at the back post. He takes full advantage, and drills home. Middlesbrough 0-0 Blackburn Craig Hignett Former Middlesbrough and Blackburn midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra They have no conviction, I do not think of any of the players out there believe they can put the ball in the back of the net. Cardiff 0-1 QPR Zan Celar's first goal for QPR separates the sides at the break. The Slovenian superbly controlled a flick-on from a long throw before turning and firing past Jak Alnwick with five minutes to go in the first-half. QPR could have been in front inside 20 seconds with Paul Smyth denied by Alnwick before Perry Ng had an even better chance for Cardiff only for Paul Nardi's superb reflex save to keep the home side out. Cardiff gained control of the game midway through the first period without making the most of it and now they've got a fight on their hands. Middlesbrough 0-0 Blackburn Emmanuel Latte Lath was limited to a half chance just moments ago, but this one will go down as a real missed opportunity for the Middlesbrough forward. Neto Borges floats a tasty cross into the box from the left, and while Latte Lath manages to get onto the end of it he can only nod his attempt wide. Going by his recent form, I'm sure he will feel he could have done better there. Cardiff 0-1 QPR We're into three minutes of added time. Leeds 1-0 Luton Geoff Doyle Commentator on BBC Three Counties Radio I do not want to be unkind, but they are being played off the park. Portsmouth v Millwall - kick-off delayed, floodlight failure Dan George BBC Sport at Fratton Park You lost us for a second as the connection in the press box also decided to cut out! We now have both sets of players warming up and the lights back on, although we have been told to still wait for a further announcement. The lights were restored section by section to big cheers by both sets of supporters! Middlesbrough 0-0 Blackburn Blackburn have done good job in keeping Emmanuel Latte Lath quiet by his standards so far. It's taken until the 39th minute for him to have a real glance at goal. It's only a half chance, really, from the edge of the box as Danny Batth closes him down. This game feels like it's opened up a little in the past 10 minutes. Zan Celar (40 mins) He's FINALLY scored! A long throw is flicked on to QPR's Zan Celar and with his back to goal he controls, turns and fires into the top corner. It's a first goal for QPR for the Slovenian international who has been the target of some criticism - more so when he missed a penalty against Stoke at the weekend. That is quite some goal to answer those critics! Portsmouth v Millwall - kick-off delayed, floodlight failure Our reporter at Fratton Park, Dan George, has just messaged to say the floodlights are back on and the players are out warming up. I say messaged. .. there's still no Wifi at the ground! Still awaiting any official news of a kick-off time. .. assuming one takes place. Middlesbrough 0-0 Blackburn After 33 fairly ordinary minutes of football at the Riverside, we finally have a meaningful chance. George Edmundson gets beyond two Blackburn defenders and into space to shoot. He has a crack from the edge of the area, but it's straight at Blackburn goalkeeper Aynsley Pears. That's actually the first shot of the game! Cardiff 0-0 QPR QPR's Sam Field looks as though he may have damaged his left hamstring as he sits down on the Cardiff turf and shakes his head. He's been ever-present for the Londoners this season and they could do without losing him. Field has some treatment and looks happier with the world - he's good to carry on. Middlesbrough 0-0 Blackburn Neil Maddison Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Tees It's been a scrappy game from our point of view. I do not care how we get the three points, it does not matter how we play, the three points are just vital, so important for us. Cardiff 0-0 QPR Better from QPR. They break forward and Koki Saito slips in Harrison Ashby on the left of the area but his effort is dealt with at his near post by Jak Alnwick, This game is very watchable. Cardiff 0-0 QPR Cardiff look as though they've got control of this game now - they're forcing QPR to defend just outside their area. Cardiff skipper Joe Ralls whips a left footed shot at goal but it's straight at Paul Nardi. Ronald (14 mins) The Swans are soaring right now! Liam Cullen creates the chance with a sublime defence-splitting pass. Ronald is onto it in a flash, and coolly slides his finish past Jacob Widell Zetterstrom. Middlesbrough 0-0 Blackburn Blackburn really should be ahead right now. Sondre Tronstad stands up an inviting cross for Tyrhys Dolan, and while the forward is only a few yards out with a free header he directs his finish badly wide of the target. Cardiff 0-0 QPR Cardiff get in around the edge of the QPR box. Joe Ralls has an effort blocked and the ball reaches the feet of Callum O'Dowda but his shot is deflected wide for a corner. From the corner Cardiff appeal the ball has struck a QPR arm but referee Stephen Martin isn't interested - on we go. Middlesbrough 0-0 Blackburn Craig Hignett Former Middlesbrough and Blackburn midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra Boro have not made a chance in the opening 20 minutes. Blackburn if anything have been the better of the two teams. But there is no pace or intensity to it, both teams are happy for the other to have the ball. Leeds 1-0 Luton Victor Moses so nearly has Luton level. Just about everyone at Elland Road would have through this was going to settle in the back of the net. Moses plays a neat one-two before lifting his finish from a tight angle beyond the goalkeeper, but Pascal Struijk is racing back to acrobatically hook the ball off the line.
