Will Grigg grabbed a double and strikes from Fabian Brandy and Jamie Paterson were enough to give Walsall a 3-2 win over MK Dons.

Crawley Town came back from a goal down at Portsmouth to win 2-1, courtesy of goals from Nicky Adams and Billy Clarke.
Preston North End played out a 0-0 draw with Bury at Deepdale with Oldham Athletic and Doncaster Rovers drawing 1-1 at Boundary Park.
