Nick Powell headed the Potters in front in the sixth minute, before Ben Whiteman's 38th minute free-kick levelled matters up.
It was Stoke who had the better of the game and the better chances, so this wasn't a draw which North End turned their nose up at.
Here are the PNE player ratings, with goalkeeper Daniel Iversen getting star billing.

Scored PNE's equaliser with an excellent free-kick. The midfielder also set up a first-half chance for Riis with a good pass. Subbed in the second half. Photo: Press Association
Had three shots from outside the box and worked hard as per usual. Part of a midfield which never really got to grips with Stoke. Photo: Press Association
Wasn't able to get forward from the wing-back position as much he would have liked as Stoke kept PNE pinned in for spells. Won the free-kick which led to PNE's goal. Photo: Camerasport
