Will Evans Louis Reed link up to provide the opportunity. Surprisingly Akins is yet to score in the EFL this season. Birmingham 0-0 Blackpool End-to-end stuff as Emil Hansson is denied his first Blues goal in League One as his 18-yard strike is saved by Blackpool keeper Harry Tyrer flying to his left. Down the other end and Ashley Fletcher gets the better of Kristian Bielik to go clean through but sees his fierce effort tipped over by Ryan Allsop in the Blues goal. Cameron Mc Jannet (29 minutes) The hosts hit the front! Alassana Jatta (26 minutes) The Magpies are level! Sam Stubbs, who scored the opening goal, turns hero to zero when he is dispossessed by Alassana Jatta - who rounds Cheltenham keeper Joe Day and equalises. #bbcefl Charlie Webster's goal continues to give Burton a surprise 1-0 advantage at fourth-placed Huddersfield. Crawley lead by the same scoreline at Exeter thanks to Panutche Camara's first goal of the season. The two sides ahead in those games are both in the relegation zone although Crawley could climb out of the bottom four with a win. Birmingham 0-0 Blackpool Birmingham not having things their own way, despite their impressive home record at the top of the table. Kristian Bielik has gone into the book after a foul on Albie Morgan. Wrexham 0-0 Wigan Tell you what, Wigan have made a very decent start at the Stok Cae Ras. They don't score many, and they don't concede many, but their energetic press is preventing the home side from settling, and they have had the best of the half-chances too, plus a few set-pieces into Mark Howard's box. Grimsby 0-0 Port Vale Both sides come close to breaking the deadlock! First, Vale's Ruari Paton hits a left-foot shot which just misses the right-hand post for the visitors. Then a minute later, Jaden Luker's good footwork creates half a yard for a shot but his effort is well tipped around the post by Vale keeper Connor Ripley. Good flow to this one. Reading 1-0 Mansfield A good reaction from Mansfield to going behind with two efforts from Keanu Baccus - one over and one blocked. #bbcefl An absolute breathless first 20 minutes across the nine League Two games. Cheltenham Town lead Notts County a goal to nil thanks to Sam Stubbs' fourth-minute opener. Fleetwood and Harrogate Town remain level at 1-1. James Bolton had given the Cod Army an early lead but Harrogate restored parity six minutes later thanks to Josh March's goal. MK Dons lead Crewe thanks to Joe White's goal, and Barrow are ahead at Tranmere after an own goal by the luckless Jordan Turnbull. Wrexham 0-0 Wigan Another sight of goal for the visitors as Jonny Smith, who used to play for Wrexham, cuts inside from the wing and fizzes an effort past Mark Howard's upright. Reading 1-0 Mansfield Mick Gooding Ex-Reading player/manager on BBC Radio Berkshire A fantastic pass from Wing. He picked the ball up in the centre circle. It looked like he'd try to beat the keeper, but he disguised his pass, slipped it through, and finished well from Camara. Grimsby 0-0 Port Vale Vale's Jesse Debrah is the first man to go into the referee's notebook following a head collision with Cameron Mc Jannet. Mc Jannet has stayed down and is receiving treatment. Mamadi Camara (17 mins) We have a breakthrough. Mamadi Camara grabs his third EFL goal of the season. Lewis Wing plays a beautiful pass allowing Camara to stride forward and beat Christy Pym. Jordan Turnbull (11 minutes - own goal) A great start for the visitors. Robbie Gotts finds space to hit the shot on the edge of the box. It takes a wicked deflection off defender Jordan Turnbull and leaves goalkeeper Luke Mc Gee with no chance. #bbcefl Fifteen minutes gone in our 3pm kick-offs in League One and we have just two goals and a surprise with Burton leading at Huddersfield and Crawley lead 1-0 at Exeter. A reminder earlier Charlton beat Wycombe 2-1 while it finished 1-1 between Rotherham and Stockport. Joe White (9 minutes) Joe White opens the scoring after collecting a ball from Liam Kelly and firing a low shot past Filip Marschall in the Alex goal. Birmingham 0-0 Blackpool Lee Buchanan's afternoon started well but has ended early. .. the Blues defender has been stretchered off with a knee injury after making that block, with Ethan Laird being sent on by Chris Davies in his stead. Not ideal for the Blues to reshuffle so early. Josh March (8 minutes) Josh March hits back almost instantly after he glances Stephen Duke-Mc Kenna's cross home. Reading 0-0 Mansfield Scrappy start to this one - we're hearing referee Martin Woods' whistle quite a lot for niggly fouls. It hasn't settled down.
