    It's been a nervy first 10 minutes here at St James Park after the break.

    With Forest Green struggling against Swindon the hosts know a win will not just guarantee them promotion but also put them back in with a chance of winning the title.

    Swansea 2-0 Bournemouth

    I wonder what Scott Parker's team talk was like at the break.

    Bournemouth once again threaten to get off the mark against Swanesa, this tiem through Jaidon Anthony.

    But Andrew Fisher puts in the save to deny him.

    Fulham 0-1 Nottm Forest

    Nottingham Forest should be 2-0 up here!

    Djed Spence plays Brennan Johnson through on the right as he puts a cross in towards Sam Surridge but Marek Rodak makes a terrific save.

    Fulham not looking too comfortable at the minute.

    The only EFL game of the night without a first half goal, but we have one in the second!

    Mansfield now lead Stevenage thanks to George Lapslie. The visitors don't react to a quickly-taken corner and Lapslie sends the loose ball into the net.

    The Stags threatening the automatic spots now.

    Fulham 0-1 Nottm Forest

    Fulham have come out all fired up against Nottingham Forest.

    It takes Brice Samba's glove to deflect a Neco Williams cross to put off Aleksandar Mitrovic into heading over the bar from inside the box to preserve the visitors' lead.

    Swansea 2-0 Bournemouth

    Back under way at the Swansea.com Stadium and it's a big 45 minutes ahead for Bournemouth.

    They trail the Swans 2-0 and as things stand, they are level on games played with Nottingham Forest, but with a narrow two-point lead in second place.

    Bournemouth play Forest in exactly a week. Ooh er.

  11. Not the promotion party Forest Green wantedpublished at 20:37 British Summer Time 26 April 2022

    HT: Swindon Town 2-0 Forest Green Rovers

    The atmosphere had just started to go a bit flat at the County Ground with half-time approaching, but the crowd have certainly got going again after that Jack Payne goal.

    The home side had what looked like a decent shout for a penalty waved away by the referee, and then drove back into the box instantly for another go at goal.

    Louie Barry crossed in and Payne struck the ball inside the post from distance to put Swindon 2-0 in front.

    Rob Edwards has had his arms firmly folded in the dugout. This will not be the promotion party he will have wanted for his Forest Green side.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 26 April 2022

    Barnsley 0-1 Blackpool

    Blackpool lead against relegated Barnsley at the break courtesy of Owen Dale's 39th-minute finish.

    Not a lot riding on this one.

    GOAL: Portsmouth 0-2 Wiganpublished at 20:35 British Summer Time 26 April 2022

    Will Keane (45+3 mins)

    League One goal number 24 this season for Will Keane and it has Wigan heading for the Championship.

    Tom Pearce claims his second assist of the game as he flashes one in low and hard with his left foot and Keane is there to touch it in from about four yards.

    Cue wild celebrations in the away end.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34 British Summer Time 26 April 2022

    Swansea 2-0 Bournemouth

    Joel Piroe's stunning double gives Swansea a comfortable lead at the break against Bournemouth.

    That's a scoreline that's doing Bournemouth's promotion hopes no favours given Nottingham Forest are currently beating Fulham.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:33 British Summer Time 26 April 2022

    Fulham 0-1 Nottm Forest

    Fulham needed to better Bournemouth's result this evening to win the Championship title.

    But midway through this one, they trail Nottingham Forest, who will be enjoying themselves right now given the Cherries are 2-0 down to Swansea.

    Swindon have doubled their lead at the County Ground over leaders Forest Green.

    Jack Payne drives one into the corner from Louie Barry's pass. This result will keep their play-off hopes very much alive.

    Swansea aren't backing off against Bournemouth.

    Swansea remain two goals up here and the home side are playing some fabulous stuff when they have possession.

    But Bournemouth remain very much in the contest.

    The Cherries look menacing when they come forward and really ought to have had at least one goal back.

    You feel there is a long way to go in this one, particularly if Bournemouth get the next goal.

    A goal marked Championship for Wigan as Callum Lang bullets in a near-post header.

    A 15th League One effort of the season for Lang, but that could be the one that guarantees their return to the second tier.
