League One: AFC Wimbledon v Stockport County, Luton Town v Northampton Town (kick-off 19: 45 BST) Sam Hoskins gives Northampton lead after 31 minutes Liam Walsh pulls Luton level 12 minutes later Bottom-club Northampton will be relegated if they fail to win Luton are six points off play-off places Wimbledon can go six points clear of drop zone with win Stockport looking to move closer to securing top-six spot Kate Holloway & Zoe Mcgrady Luton 1-1 Northampton Northampton are defiant in keeping the ball inside the lines and they move it across goal, but it's such a surprise that they manage it that none of their players are ready to attack the cross. It does eventually find it's way to Tyrese Fornah, who tries to strike on the turn but is off-balance and can only watch as it goes wide. Luton 1-1 Northampton Jack Burroughs makes an impressive, blistering run up from his own half into Luton's final third. He's largely unopposed but his pass into the box is intercepted to watch all his hard work go to waste. It's then Luton's turn to take it up the other end until Jordan Clark finds himself blocked out close to the goal. Luton 1-1 Northampton Tim Oglethorpe BBC Radio Northampton commentator This is the best we have seen Northampton play all season, and certainly the best game we have seen this year. Complete free-flowing and exciting football. Luton 1-1 Northampton Geoff Doyle Commentator on BBC Three Counties Radio As soon as Luton get Shayden Morris on the ball they just all need to get forward as quickly as possible. It is looking like their best option. It feels like this game is right there for the taking. Luton 1-1 Northampton Luton substitute Shayden Morris is keen to prove himself and is already getting stuck in. He flashes a brilliant ball in front of goal but no home players spot the chance to poke it into the net. Morris has his hands on his head for that one. What a chance! AFC Wimbledon 0-0 Stockport Teenager Che Gardner's evening has come to an end at the halfway mark. He is replaced by Jack Diamond, while Josh Stokes takes the place of Adama Sidibeh. Luton 1-1 Northampton Jake Richards makes way at the break for Luton. On comes Shayden Morris to get some minutes. League One Ready to go again? Things are just getting back underway at Kenilworth Road, where Northampton will try to restore their relegation-saving lead, while the action in Wimbledon won't be far behind. AFC Wimbledon 0-0 Stockport Goalkeepers making the difference to keep it goalless at the break. Stockport's Corey Addai has made four saves - most notably against a sharp strike into the corner from James Tilley - while Nathan Bishop has stopped three for the Dons. The visitors have plenty of the ball but both sides are even on total shots. Surely, neither will want to go home sharing the spoils given their ambitions at both ends of the table. HT: Luton 1-1 Northampton Peter Walton Former Premier League referee on BBC Radio Northampton They have lacked that little bit of aggression this season, I think we are seeing a bit more of that tonight. It is really, really important that the Northampton players show the fans that they still care. HT: Luton 1-1 Northampton Simon Oxley BBC Three Counties Radio commentator They started slowly but Luton are back on top now though without creating too much. They have been the better side but they are playing at 80% really, I think. One or two of them need to step up a bit more, they will want to create a few more chances, that is for sure. Luton 1-1 Northampton Northampton relegated as things stand after Liam Walsh's equaliser for Luton. The visitors took the lead after Sam Hoskins lobbed a beauty over the Luton keeper after a scrappy start from the hosts. But it wasn't to last as the EFL trophy winners went to work hunting for a leveller until they finally found it through a thunderous strike from an in-form Liam Walsh. Rotherham have already booked their place in League Two next season. Are Northampton on their way to join them in another 45 minutes or so? Luton 1-1 Northampton Geoff Doyle Commentator on BBC Three Counties Radio A great goal, and with his wrong foot as well. Liam Walsh smashed it brilliantly, he has done so well. He has spoke about redemption after some of the games earlier this season where he was sent off. Now he is slowly becoming one of the most popular names in this team. Luton really needed that. Liam Walsh (34 mins) They went looking for it. The hosts were starting to up the tempo following that opening goal from Northampton to earn a handful of corners. Their latest doesn't cause much trouble but Northampton are sloppy in their clearance, seeing it worked to Liam Walsh just outside the box with a path to goal. He thunders it home for the leveller. The 'we are staying up' chants will quieten now, that's for sure. AFC Wimbledon 0-0 Stockport This game has warmed up now and the keepers are really having to earn their wage. James Tilley strikes in a fantastic effort to the left corner but Stockport stopper Corey Addai does well to deny the hosts. The ball is then worked up the other end for Adama Sidibeh to fire in at the other end but Nathan Bishop puts his gloves to use to keep it goalless. Luton 0-1 Northampton Geoff Doyle Commentator on BBC Three Counties Radio Something isn't quite right tonight compared to the weekend. Luton need to find a way around this. Luton 0-1 Northampton Tim Oglethorpe BBC Radio Northampton commentator The away fans are singing, 'We are staying up'. That is something you normally sing when you are going to stay in the league which even despite leading here tonight probably isn't something Northampton are going to do. Luton 0-1 Northampton Peter Walton Former Premier League referee on BBC Radio Northampton The away fans are going crazy. The goal was almost in slow motion. Sam Hoskins came from nowhere. He had nothing to do really, he has just lobbed it perfectly. Sam Hoskins (31 mins) Big stuff from Sam Hoskins on a big night. Another long pass from the keeper makes it's way to Tom Eaves, who holds off the defenders to get the ball across to Hoskins. Luton stopper Josh Keeley comes off his line to try and deal with it but the winger just lifts it above the keeper to see it arc into the net. Lovely. AFC Wimbledon 0-0 Stockport Odin Bailey sends a ball wayward for Stockport before his team-mates block out a threatening strike from Callum Maycock.
