The Lilywhites were the better side over the course of the game and can count themselves unfortunate not to have taken all three points.
Cameron Archer had their best chance to break the deadlock when put clear by Brad Potts' pass but the Aston Villa loanee fired the wrong side of the post.
Here are the PNE player ratings from the game, with Brad Potts our man of the match.
Andrew Hughes and Liam Lindsay also caught the eye as North End kept a sixth clean sheet in eight matches.

6. Brad Potts 8
North End's best player on the night, Potts was a bundle of energy up and down the right hand side of the pitch. Created a great chance for Archer with a through ball. Photo: Mick Walker/Camerasport
7. Alan Browne 7
A hard-working shift from the captain which contributed to a much better midfield performance from PNE. Had a first-half shot saved. Photo: Mick Walker/Camerasport

Saw plenty of the ball as PNE went forward. Johnson's pass set up a good chance for Archer in the second half. Photo: Mick Walker/Camerasport
