Patrick Bauer put the Lilywhites ahead in the 31st minute, getting a touch to Alan Browne's low shot from the edge of the box.
It looked like it might be sufficient to earn them the three points but the Blues equalised with four minutes remaining, substitute Scott Hogan heading home.
Here are the PNE player ratings from the Championship game, with Daniel Johnson, Ched Evans and Greg Cunningham three who stood out.

5. Ben Whiteman 7
Saw plenty of the ball in the deep midfield role, helping build play. He was on set piece duty, his corner coming in the build-up to the goal. In the second half he made a great clearance in the second half. Photo: Camerasport
Potts got through plenty of work in the wing-back role although didn’t get high enough up the pitch as much as Ryan Lowe’s style demands. Photo: Camerasport
