  2. Advantage Millwall on penaltiespublished at 16:01 BST

    QPR 0-2 Millwall - penalty shootout

    Jake Cooper slots Millwall in front from the first spot-kick, sending Pierce Charles the wrong way in the QPR goal, before Ilias Chair's effort is saved by Lukas Jensen, diving to his right to deny the Hoops.

    Mark Sykes, on debut for the Lions after joining from Bristol City, then puts that late own goal out of his mind to place into the corner.

    Harvey Vale steps up for QPR's second but Jensen is equal to it once again - diving to his left to make a brilliant save.

    HT: West Ham 2-1 Portsmouth

    Guy Whittingham
    Former Portsmouth manager on BBC Radio Solent

    We all know goals change games and that's what's happened here.

    Everybody was sort of expecting that West Ham approach from the beginning. They have the quality but they haven't shown the attitude until that first goal in the 42nd goal.

  4. Blues seize the initiativepublished at 16:00 BST

    HT: Swansea 0-1 Birmingham

    Gareth Vincent
    BBC Sport Wales at the Swansea.com Stadium

    Birmingham had one of the poorest away records in the Championship last season, but they lead at the break at Swansea thanks to a late set-piece goal from August Priske.

    The goal came against the run of play, with Swansea the better side until they were undone cheaply.

    Alex Cochrane's flighted delivery sailed over Cameron Burgess and Josh Tymon, with Priske steering in after Carlos Vicente drilled the ball across the face.

    Chris Davies will be delighted to be ahead.

    Bradford need Bobby Pointon on. He is their main threat. Not a bad first half, I think we dominated without having too much possession. Don't need to play like we're in the Prem do we.

  7. 'West Ham won't win many games playing like that'published at 15:58 BST

    HT: West Ham 2-1 Portsmouth

    Paul Parker
    Ex-QPR and Manchester United defender on BBC Radio London

    Hopefully a few of the West Ham players have woken up because this is a dress rehearsal. They'll be playing at tempo and teams will respect them, but they won't be giving an inch.

    Nuno has to have a bit of a shout and a scream because there are a few players who have not done it.

    Football's about winning but to win games you have to put performances in. They won't win many games with performances like that.

  8. 'Cobblers have worked their socks off'published at 15:55 BST

    HT: Leicester 1-0 Northampton

    Martin Smith
    BBC Radio Northampton Summariser

    It is tough to see for Northampton, as we are playing a side that we won't be facing in League Two.

    The game plan has been to let Leicester have the ball in certain areas, and then the press comes. The discipline which they have been set up with even when they are out of possession - they have done ever so well.

    It is 45 minutes of football and it is going to get tougher in terms of the discipline and defensively, because as time goes on and you are chasing the ball you will get tired. So, I think the substitutions will be important.

    It has been good so far, and the Northampton players have worked their socks off.

  9. PENALTY SHOOTOUTpublished at 15:53 BST

    FT: QPR 1-1 Millwall

    It's all over at Loftus Road and we are heading to penalties.

    Luke Cundle tapped Millwall in front after 53 minutes when QPR goalkeeper Pierce Charles spilled a cross on debut.

    But Jimmy Dunne forced an equaliser for the Hoops four minutes from time, with his header diverted into his own goal inadvertently by Mark Sykes, who is playing his first game for the Lions.

    Not an ideal day for debutants.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 BST

    Sheff Wed 0-0 Bolton

    Bolton looking the stronger so far at Hillsborough but still nothing to separate the two sides.

  11. Goals around the groundpublished at 15:53 BST

    EFL Cup first-round ties

    Cardiff City, who were trailing League Two Swindon Town early on, have now turned this one around to lead 2-1 via Yousef Salech's quick-fire double - the first of which came from the penalty spot.

    Bromley have equalised against Reading thanks to the master poacher Michael Cheek and Wigan have broken the deadlock at Oakwell against Barnsley through Dara Costelloe's tap-in on the line after James Carragher had headed the ball back across goal.

    And right on the stroke of half-time, Bradford City have taken the lead against Rochdale through Will Swan.

  12. INJURY TIMEpublished at 15:51 BST

    QPR 1-1 Millwall

    We're into four added minutes at Loftus Road. We've played two of them.

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 BST

    West Ham 2-1 Portsmouth

    West Ham comeback from behind to lead 2-1 at the break.

    Portsmouth looked comfortable after Adrian Segecic controlled Max Kilman's clearance and found an opener.

    But the Hammers finally clicked, working the ball up the pitch well for Mo Kante to set up Valentin Castellanos for a dink in the net.

    Captain Jarrod Bowen then took his chance on a loose ball and hit it well with his first touch to put West Ham ahead.

    The match has turned on it's head but Portsmouth were well in this for most of that half. Will be interesting to see if that's the case in the second.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 BST

    Derby 1-2 Lincoln

    An entertaining first half at Pride Park and a late wondergoal from Sam Szmodics has dragged Derby back into the game.

    Lincoln were 1-0 up inside three minutes after Ben House nodded home from a corner via a deflection and Dom Jefferies doubled their lead 20 minutes later with a fine finish into the bottom corner, slotting across goal.

    All to play for in the second 45.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 BST

    Watford 0-0 Crawley

    It was a fast start for Watford who forced an early save out of Crawley’s veteran goalkeeper Vito Mannone.

    But the Red Devils hit back with two chances from Charlier Barker and Kellan Gordon before the half-hour mark, to make sure Federico Ravaglia didn’t get too lonely in his net.

    The rest of the first half produced very little else except for when Luca Kjerrumgaard had the ball in the back of the net…only for the linesman to raise his flag.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 BST

    Swansea 0-1 Birmingham

    Swansea had all the chances for much of the first half but it's Birmingham who take the lead with a late first half goal from August Priske.

    The Swans totted up eight shots at goal in that half, while it took 43 minutes for Birmingham to have their first sight of the net and it ignited a spark that saw Priske net the ball at close range for his goal.

    It's the finish that matters and Blues had it. How will Swansea respond?

  17. 'A strange first half'published at 15:50 BST

    West Ham 2-1 Portsmouth

    BBC Radio London commentator

    It's been a strange first half but suddenly West Ham have surged into life.

    Portsmouth are looking a little bit shellshocked.

    GOAL: Swansea 0-1 Birminghampublished at 15:49 BST

    August Priske (44 mins)

    Welcome to the game, Blues.

    It took 43 minutes for Birmingham to have their first shot at goal but a relentless, end-of-half attack paid off as August Priske gets his laces on Carlos Vicente's cross right in front of goal.

  19. What a strikepublished at 15:49 BST

    West Ham 2-1 Portsmouth

    Dan George
    BBC Sport at the London Stadium

    What a strike that is by Jarrod Bowen.

    West Ham have completely turned this game around just before the break.

    The home fans break out into chants of "you're not singing anymore" towards the travelling Pompey fans.

    We will play three minutes of additional time.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 BST

    Leicester 1-0 Northampton

    Leicester go into the half time break with a lead thanks to Caleb Okoli, who headed in a cross from Luke Thomas.

    It seemed like the Foxes would then seek another goal but Northampton came out of their shell and nearly drew level through Connor Lemonheigh-Evans and a Jon Guthrie header.

    Overall I don't think the home fans will be too happy with that...but a goal is a goal, and so far they're going through to the second round.
