Rotherham United 0-0 Preston North End

Steve Evans' Rotherham lost their first two league games to MK Dons and Nottingham Forest

Rotherham United drew with unbeaten Preston North End to secure their first point of the Championship season.

Visiting defender Bailey Wright came closest to settling a tight encounter, heading a corner against the crossbar with 13 minutes remaining.

Rotherham substitute Jonson Clarke-Harris earlier headed off target and fired over from Matt Derbyshire's pass.

The stalemate leaves Bristol City as the only Championship club without a point this season.

North End have taken five points from their first three league matches and are still to concede a league goal since being promoted via the League One play-offs in May.

Clear opportunities were scarce before the interval and, although the game livened up after half-time, neither side was able to find a winning goal.

Preston striker Will Keane shot over from the edge of the box early in the second period, while Millers goalkeeper Kelle Roos kept out Neil Kilkenny's long-range effort.

Rotherham manager Steve Evans: "We will take our first point. The first 60 minutes is not a good game for either side, no side had any dominance, both sides just cancelled each other out.

"That's a good Preston side out there. They had some heroic defending in their box, balls across the goal, they have had some heroic defending without the goalkeeper being called on.

"We have to take our point, get back on the training ground and get ready for QPR, which will be difficult but every game is difficult in this league. We know every point in this league is an achievement."

Preston manager Simon Grayson: "When you come to a place like this you have to make sure you fight and compete, and that's what we did.

"We turned over possession a little too easily but when we kept it we looked like we could be a major threat.

"It's another game for us and another clean sheet and an opportunity for the players to grow in confidence with another positive result."
