League One Millwall thumped a weakened Bournemouth, Derby and Wolves earned wins at Premier League grounds and Lincoln were denied by a late Ipswich equaliser

5.07pm GMT

Right, that’s it from me. But make sure you join Rob Smyth for the evening game: Preston North End v Arsenal.

5.03pm GMT

You should be able to see all the full-time scores above. Millwall, Derby and Wolves have all ousted Premier League opposition, while Lincoln and Sutton continue to fly the non-league flag by taking league sides to replays. Elsewhere there has been a bit of a non-league cull, with Eastleigh, Barrow and Stourbridge all losing.

5.01pm GMT

Full-time at Adams Park: And seventh-tier Stourbridge exit the competition at the hands of Wycombe Wanderers.

5.00pm GMT

Full-time at The Hawthorns: Derby spring a surprise and beat West Brom 2-1.

5.00pm GMT

Full-time at the Macron Stadium: Bolton have held Crystal Palace to a 0-0 draw.

4.59pm GMT

Full-time at the New York Stadium: Oxford win 3-2 to oust Championship strugglers Rotherham from the competition.

4.58pm GMT

Full-time at the bet365 Stadium: Stoke City are dumped out by Wolves.

4.58pm GMT

And it’s all over at Gander Green Lane: Sutton are in the fourth round draw for the first time since THAT win over Coventry in 1989. They’re in the hat but they have to travel to AFC Wimbledon for a replay.

4.57pm GMT

Full-time at Griffin Park: no shock for Eastleigh – Brentford run out 5-1 winners.

4.56pm GMT

And full-time at Portman Road: Ipswich will have to travel to Sincil Bank for a replay with Lincoln after a 2-2 draw.

4.56pm GMT

Full-time at the Den. League One Millwall knock out Premier League Bournemouth.

4.54pm GMT

This is getting a little embarrassing for Eddie Howe’s side. Shane Ferguson makes it 3-0 in injury time.

4.53pm GMT

Tom Adeyemi pulls Rotherham back into it.

4.52pm GMT

Josh Tymon scores a second for Marco Silva’s side.

4.52pm GMT

A late equaliser for the Canaries thanks to Steven Naismith.

4.51pm GMT

Kane Hemmings confirms Oxford’s place in the fourth round.

4.48pm GMT

More magic-killing! Adebayo Akinfenwa nods Wanderers in front once more.

4.46pm GMT

Heartbreak for the Imps! Tom Lawrence scores his and Ipswich’s second to deny the non-leaguers.

4.46pm GMT

Jack Payne gets his second and Huddersfield have four.

4.44pm GMT

Lincoln are holding on now at Portman Road. Five minutes plus stoppages to go.

4.42pm GMT

Phil Edwards puts the League One side ahead once more.

4.42pm GMT

No one will want to draw Huddersfield in the fourth round. Harry Bunn makes it three.

4.41pm GMT

Matt Doherty doubles Wolves’ advantage with 10 minutes to go.

4.40pm GMT

More misery from Forest – Eric Lichaj has missed a penalty.

4.39pm GMT

There’s not going to be a shock at Vicarage Road. Former Liverpool forward Jerome Sinclair scores his first goal for the Hornets.

4.36pm GMT

Abel Hernández scores the first goal of the Marco Silva era.

4.36pm GMT

A huge goal at Adams Park. Dan Scarr equalises for seventh-tier Stourbridge.

4.35pm GMT

That should be that at the John Smith’s Stadium. Kasey Palmer doubles the Huddersfield lead.

4.32pm GMT

Tomer Hemed gives Albion a two-goal cushion.

4.32pm GMT

Hull have announced an attendance of 6,608 at the KCom Stadium, including 210 away fans. I’d say that’s a reasonably impressive boycott given they average over 20,000 in the Premier League.

4.29pm GMT

What a turnaround at Goodison. Musa bags his second to put the Foxes in front.

4.28pm GMT

Not a great couple of minutes for sides in Suffolk and Norfolk. Yoshida heads Saints back in front.

4.27pm GMT

Oof. Here we are then! Theo Robinson has put the National League leaders back ahead at Portman Road.

4.26pm GMT

Everton’s lead lasts just a couple of minutes thanks to Ahmed Musa.

4.25pm GMT

That is surely that for the Cumbrian side. Ian Henderson’s second goal of the game, his sixth in his last four appearances, makes safe for Rochdale.

4.23pm GMT

Romelu Lukaku scores his fifth goal in seven games to give the hosts the lead at Goodison.

4.19pm GMT

Rangers are back in it. Jake Bidwell’s penalty halves the Blackburn lead.

4.18pm GMT

Omar Beckles restores Stanley’s lead.

4.17pm GMT

Yanic Wildschut piles the misery on the long-suffering Forest fans.

4.17pm GMT

QPR’s recent dismal record continues – Liam Feeney doubles the advantage for the visitors.

4.16pm GMT

Jake Gray equalises for the Hatters.

4.14pm GMT

Danny Ward equalises for the Championship’s bottom side.

4.14pm GMT

Tom Ince has completed a very quick turnaround at the Hawthorns.

4.13pm GMT

The lowest placed side left in the competition, seventh-tier Stourbridge, had the best of the first half but Sam Wood has put the Chairboys ahead at Adams Park.

4.12pm GMT

Steven Whittaker equalises for the Championship side from the penalty spot.

4.11pm GMT

Callum Wilson was thrown on at half-time by Eddie Howe in place of Jordan Lee but it has not had the desired effect. Shaun Cummings has doubled the lead for the League One team.

4.09pm GMT

Darren Bent has equalised for the Championship side.

4.07pm GMT

Well, at half-time the shocks could be coming at the Den, where Millwall lead Bournemouth, or the bet365 Stadium where Wolves lead Stoke. Oxford United, leading Rotherham, are the only other side beating a team from the divisions above.

3.51pm GMT

Romaine Sawyers. 5-1. A tough team talk for Martin Allen.

3.50pm GMT

Forest, in desperate need of some cheer, haven’t found any so far at the DW Stadium. Will Grigg may not be on fire but he has prodded his side into the lead from close range.

3.49pm GMT

Sean McConville puts Stanley ahead in the battle of the League Two sides.

3.48pm GMT

The U’s have missed a penalty but they’re still ahead against the Championship side before half-time. Ryan Taylor, who was born in Rotherham and played well over 100 games for the Millers in a six-year spell with the club, has given the League One team the lead.

3.45pm GMT

Lukas Jutkiewicz has put Gianfranco Zola’s side back on level terms at St Andrew’s.

3.43pm GMT

“Elliot Carr-Barnsley’s point about Cliff Hercules and the mighty Aylesbury United reminded me of the time when the big man should’ve scored for the Ducks against Bobby Robson’s England,” writes Mac Millings.

3.41pm GMT

Eastleigh had hit the bar at 3-1 but Tom Field has his second of the afternoon and the Bees have a three-goal lead once more.

3.40pm GMT

Virgil van Dijk adds a few more pounds to his asking price with a fine finish to give Saints the lead against Norwich.

3.39pm GMT

Oxford United have a penalty against Rotherham … but Chris Maguire sees his spot-kick saved by Lewis Price.

3.37pm GMT

Matt Phillips gives Albion the lead against Steve McClaren’s side.

3.34pm GMT

Also away from the FA Cup, Alan Smith’s caretaker spell in charge of Notts County has got off to a shaky start – his team are 3-0 down at Morecambe.

3.33pm GMT

They still have a mountain to climb but Eastleigh are on the scoreboard – Ayo Obileye scores from a couple of yards out after a corner from the visitors.

3.31pm GMT

Another Premier League team are behind to lower-league opposition. Helder Costa has put Wolves 1-0 up at Stoke.

3.31pm GMT

Jack Payne puts the Championship team ahead at the John Smith’s Stadium.

3.29pm GMT

Crank up your shockometer – League One Millwall are ahead against the Bournemouth second string. Steve Morison has put the Lions in front.

3.27pm GMT

Away from the FA Cup, it has been a fine afternoon for Bristol Rovers. It’s not half past three yet and they’re already 4-0 up against Northampton.

3.26pm GMT

“Would those FA Cup rules about only one person giving tactical instructions have prevented Coventry – with their two co-managers – from winning in 1987?” wonders Stuart Goodacre. Presumably not, as long as only one talked to the players.

3.25pm GMT

Christian Kabasele has scored for the Premier League side. It’s an upset-free zone this afternoon at the moment.

3.21pm GMT

And it’s looking bleak for Martin Allen and Eastleigh. Tom Field has doubled Brentford’s lead.

3.20pm GMT

Another non-league side slips behind early on. Ian Henderson has given League One Rochdale the lead.

3.15pm GMT

“Just to add to your QPR stat,” writes Elliot Carr-Barnsley. “In 1995 their third round tie was at home against Cliff Hercules’ mighty Aylesbury United, then in the equivalent of the National League South I think, at home. Failure to progress at least to the fourth round would have been embarrassing even by their standards.”

3.14pm GMT

The non-league side are ahead for just six minutes – Tom Lawrence equalises for the Championship side.

3.12pm GMT

Graham Stack, once of Arsenal, can’t keep out Yoann Barbet’s penalty at Griffin Park.

3.11pm GMT

The Championship leaders take the lead thanks to Beram Kayal.

3.10pm GMT

QPR’s utterly miserable time in the Cup is showing no sign of abating – Joel Lynch’s own goal puts Rovers ahead.

3.09pm GMT

Daryl Murphy gives Rafa Benítez’s side the lead.

3.08pm GMT

The first FA Cup goal of the afternoon: and it’s gone to non-league Lincoln City at Portman Road. The Imps, leaders of the National Premier, are 1-0 up against Ipswich thanks to Theo Robinson’s sixth-minute goal.

3.06pm GMT

Also at Gander Green Lane, AFC Wimbledon supporter Barry James photographed before the match today and back in 2002 for the club’s first-ever match against Sutton United:

3.05pm GMT

Someone has been attracted to The Cup Magic on offer at Gander Green Lane:

3.04pm GMT

It’ll be interesting to see the attendance at the Kcom Stadium in Hull. Home fans have organised a boycott for the fixture.

We can't offer a "come on City" for #hcafc at kick-off today, because like virtually everyone else, we aren't there. Sad day. #AllamOut

3.01pm GMT

Those FA Cup rules (pdf) I mentioned earlier are rather eye-opening. Some things I didn’t know:

2.53pm GMT

2.53pm GMT

Birmingham v Newcastle
Birmingham: Legzdins, Spector, Shotton, Robinson, Grounds, Kieftenbeld, Gleeson, Davis, Che Adams, Fabbrini, Jutkiewicz. Subs: Tesche, Cotterill, Brown, Stewart, Dacres-Cogley, Morrison, Kuszczak.
Newcastle: Sels, Yedlin, Lascelles, Hanley, Haidara, Anita, Colback, Tiote, Lazaar, Murphy, Mitrovic. Subs: Clark, Dummett, Gayle, Ritchie, Hayden, Gouffran, Darlow.
Referee: Neil Swarbrick (Lancashire)

2.52pm GMT

“Good morning from the colonies, Sir John!” writes Anonymous. “Noted a Dempsey starting for Fleetwood Town against Bristol City. I know he’s probably not related to Clinton Drew Dempsey, but thought you might have some background on the lad. Love the FA Cup, just wish there were a few more Yanks involved. But we’ll take what we can get.”

Well, one American involved is Bournemouth’s Emerson Hyndman, who makes his first start for the club today:

2.47pm GMT

Brighton v Milton Keynes Dons

2.45pm GMT

Referee: Andrew Madley (West Yorkshire)

I think that may be 11 changes for Bournemouth. The FA rule on team selection for the Cup under “Provisions Concerning Players” is the pointlessly vague: “Each team participating in a match shall represent the full available strength of each competing club,” with note on what action would be taken in the event of that rule being breached. So while teams in the EFL Trophy faced fines earlier in the season for fielding weakened teams in that not-at-all-farcical competition, the Cherries almost certainly won’t.

1.54pm GMT

For a proper belt-and-braces approach we should at least mention the seven ties that did not crop up in the preamble.

QPR are currently The Worst FA Cup Team on the planet. They’ve won just two of their last 23 FA Cup ties. That’s two wins since 2001. And since 1995 they’ve been past the fourth round only once, a dismal record for a club of their stature. Blackburn Rovers are the visitors to Loftus Road today.

1.33pm GMT

Accrington Stanley v Luton Town; Barrow v Rochdale; Birmingham City v Newcastle United; Blackpool v Barnsley; Bolton Wanderers v Crystal Palace; Brentford v Eastleigh; Brighton & Hove Albion v MK Dons; Bristol City v Fleetwood Town; Everton v Leicester City; Huddersfield Town v Port Vale; Hull City v Swansea City; Ipswich Town v Lincoln City; Millwall v Bournemouth; Norwich City v Southampton; QPR v Blackburn Rovers; Rotherham United v Oxford United; Stoke City v Wolverhampton Wanderers; Sunderland v Burnley; Sutton United v AFC Wimbledon; Watford v Burton Albion; West Bromwich Albion v Derby County; Wigan Athletic v Nottingham Forest; Wycombe Wanderers v Stourbridge.
