Bristol Rovers and Burton Albion have entered the break goalless at the Memorial Stadium following a first half during which there was only one shot on target.
It was the relegation-fighting hosts who enjoyed the better of the opening 45 minutes against opposition who are currently occupying a League Two playoff spot.
Rovers defender Lee Brown was the only player to test either of the respective goalkeepers as he forced Brewers stopper Robert Lainton into tipping the ball around the post with a smart curling shot.
Kaid Mohamed set up David Clarkson for a 21st-minute header at the back post which went into the side-netting before himself running from midfield minutes later only to strike across goal and wide.
Albion top goalscorer Adam McGurk, who has eight goals to his name this season, dragged their best opportunity of the half wide and the visitors were lucky to hang on to parity after escaping unscathed from a stoppage-time scramble.
