Three games as first round of the EFL Cup concludes FT: Hull City 1-2 Sheffield Wednesday FT: Plymouth Argyle 3-0 Cheltenham Town FT: Leeds 0-3 Middlesbrough Ian Woodcock, Ben Miller, Alex Winter Plymouth 0-0 Cheltenham Good work from Cheltenham in what was threatening to become a slightly soporific contest. Harrison Sohna has an inviting amount of space from which to take aim from a central position as he approaches the Plymouth penalty area. Conor Hazard is at full stretch as the strike curls wide. Hull City 1-2 Sheff Wed Michael Ihiekwe heads over a decent free kick delivery from Marvin Johnson as the away side press for a third. If you're just joining us, we had three goals in the opening 10 minutes of this one. Plymouth 0-0 Cheltenham Wayne Rooney watch: the Plymouth manager has been patrolling the edge of his technical area to repeatedly bellow instructions. He had a moment of concern a minute ago when Conor Hazard had to claw away Matt Taylor's close-range header. The forward was deemed offside. Leeds 0-0 Middlesbrough Neil Maddison Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Tees Middlesbrough’s shape has been decent so far, they’ve pressed the ball well and tried to get after them. Leeds 0-0 Middlesbrough Leeds skipper Ethan Ampadu is one of just three Whites players to stay in the team from Saturday. The Wales international doesn't really do days off, he played 62 times for club and country last season. Plymouth 0-0 Cheltenham Both sides might have cause for satisfaction with the opening 32 minutes. Plymouth have been entering Cheltenham's penalty area and winning corners without using any of their attacks to telling effect. Town, who haven't beaten Argyle in their last five attempts, have sent a few promising crosses in at the other end despite only having 31 per cent of possession. Leeds 0-0 Middlesbrough Leeds enjoying the lion's share of possession but Boro are pressing well and they've already forced the home side into a couple of errors at the back. Hull City 1-2 Sheff Wed Liam Millar, who was caught in possession for Wednesday's first goal in the opening minute, looks to make amends but the City man's shot is comfortably saved by Pierce Charles in the Owls goal. Leeds 0-0 Middlesbrough Leeds have given starts tonight to a couple of players who had looked to be on their way out of the club. Max Wober and Brenden Arronson both left on season-long loans in the summer of 2023 after relegation to the Championship, with fans not overly impressed with the manner of their exits. However, neither loan worked out and the duo are back in West Yorkshire and back in the team tonight. USA international Aaronson scored a late equaliser and then blew a great chance to get a winner in an action-packed cameo in the 3-3 draw with Portsmouth on Saturday. Leeds 0-0 Middlesbrough Paul Addison BBC Radio Tees It’s been an energetic and entertaining game so far. Good pace and a good watch. Plymouth 0-0 Cheltenham Plymouth are pushing. Ryan Hardie and Darko Gyabi both have shots blocked from the left either side of a corner for the hosts. They've had seven of the eight shots between these sides in pursuit of a first goal of the Wayne Rooney era - but only one of those has been on target. Leeds 0-0 Middlesbrough The away side pressing now. Delano Burgzorg's shot is eventually turned around for a corner and Anfernee Dijksteel sees a header drift across goal and wide. Hull City 1-2 Sheff Wed Lee Bullen Former Sheffield Wednesday caretaker manager on BBC Radio Sheffield Charlie Mc Neil has been excellent but he just under hits his pass and Hull almost pounced on it. Hull City 1-2 Sheff Wed The ball's in the net for the fourth time tonight but this one won't stand. Tyrell Sellars-Fleming finishes well for the home side but the flag is up. Plymouth 0-0 Cheltenham The first card of the evening at Home Park goes to Cheltenham midfielder Tom Pett, who brings down Bali Mumba as the wideman tries to burst clear. Plymouth 0-0 Cheltenham Ryan Hardie has already tested Joe Day but the Cheltenham goalkeeper has little to worry about from a free-kick in a promising position near the penalty area to the right of centre. The Scottish forward scoops his effort well over the crossbar. Leeds 0-0 Middlesbrough Good start from the home side. The Whites attack with real intent and the ball is moved from right to left across the area where Junior Firpo sees his shot well saved by Sol Brynn in the Boro goal. Plymouth 0-0 Cheltenham Brent Pilnick BBC Sport at Home Park You feel a goal is not far off for Plymouth Argyle. The Pilgrims have had two or three decent chances while Ben Waine put the ball in the net only for it to be disallowed after Callum Wright was offside. Michael Flynn has already sent his Cheltenham subs out for a warm-up. .. Leeds 0-0 Middlesbrough The final match of the first round begins, where two former winners of this competition are vying to go through. Stay with us for all the latest from Elland Road. Hull 1-2 Sheff Wed Andy Giddings Sports Editor, BBC Sheffield The Hull manager walks back to his bench with two fingers to his head. They’re certainly not using theirs at the moment.
