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

    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.

  2. PENALTY SHOOTOUTpublished at 15:53 BST 8 August

    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.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 BST 8 August

    Sheff Wed 0-0 Bolton

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

  4. Goals around the groundpublished at 15:53 BST 8 August

    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.

  5. INJURY TIMEpublished at 15:51 BST 8 August

    QPR 1-1 Millwall

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

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 BST 8 August

    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.

  7. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 BST 8 August

    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.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 BST 8 August

    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.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 BST 8 August

    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?

  10. 'A strange first half'published at 15:50 BST 8 August

    West Ham 2-1 Portsmouth

    Andy Rowley
    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.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 0-1 Birminghampublished at 15:49 BST 8 August

    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.

  12. What a strikepublished at 15:49 BST 8 August

    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.

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 BST 8 August

    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.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 BST 8 August

    Preston 0-1 Huddersfield

    This one started off a very tame affair until Huddersfield forward Ashley Fletcher managed to wriggle through to get himself one-on-one with Daniel Iverson.

    But then Lewis Gibson came crashing into the back of him, and was then sent off.

    Straight after that Huddersfield hit the post with a free kick, and then Radinio Balker got highest to head home a superb cross from Lasse Sorenson.

    I think we can expect some changes from Paul Heckingbottom.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 BST 8 August

    Burnley 0-1 Notts County

    Notts County, who were in League Two last season, lead Burnley, who were in the Premier League last season.

    Callum Roberts' fantastic spin and strike is the difference at the break at Turf Moor.

    Work for Nicky Hayen to do in his first competitive game as Clarets boss.

  16. goal

    GOAL: West Ham 2-1 Portsmouthpublished at 15:47 BST 8 August

    Jarrod Bowen (45 mins)

    The quality is starting to show now.

    Pompey are able to stop Pablo but the ball is loose for Jarrod Bowen to strike and you don't want Bowen's left foot on anything in an area like that.

    He unwinds a shot and it's lethal. Right into the net and suddenly after trailing and seeming lifeless, West Ham are ahead.

  17. 'Perfect finish from Mavropanos'published at 15:46 BST 8 August

    West Ham 1-1 Portsmouth

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

    That is the only bit of football we've seen from West Ham. It's the first time we've seen Mohamadou Kante get in an offensive position.

    It's an absolutely perfect finish from Taty Castellanos.

  18. goal

    GOAL: Derby 1-2 Lincolnpublished at 15:46 BST 8 August

    Sam Szmodics (45+1 mins)

    What a hit and Derby are back in the game!

    Sam Szmodics has a crack from about 25 yards out and it flies into the far corner.

    That's one way to halve the deficit.

  19. goal

    GOAL: QPR 1-1 Millwallpublished at 15:45 BST 8 August

    Mark Sykes og (86 mins)

    A late leveller for QPR!

    Jimmy Dunne meets a corner from the left and his header takes a huge deflection off Mark Sykes and trickles over the line past a helpless Lukas Jensen in the Millwall goal.

  20. Postpublished at 15:45 BST 8 August

    Leicester 1-0 Northampton

    Leicester are starting to test this Northampton defence.

    Stephy Mavididi gets highest to head the ball into the path of the onrushing Luke Thomas, but his strike is blocked.
