Liam Delap’s deflected cross off Rovers defender Dominic Hyam gave Ryan Lowe’s men a vital point to keep their hopes of a play-off place alive, after Sam Szmodics had opened the scoring with less than 10 minutes to go.
Here’s how we rated the players on the day...

2. Freddie Woodman - 6
Wasn't tested too much although Blackburn had a decent amount of pressure in the second half. Did what he had to do quite routinely, as would be expected from a 'keeper with his quality. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
3. Jordan Storey - 7
Dealt so well with Tyrhys Dolan in the first half that the former PNE man was hooked at half time. Made some important last ditch headers too to prevent Rovers getting in behind. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
4. Patrick Bauer - 8
Considering it was only the German's third start of the season, he was fantastic. He barely put a foot wrong and was strong in the tackle and in the air. Game time caught up to him but North End looked weaker at the back without him. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
