The first half was goalless at Bradford
Bradford City held promotion-chasing Newport County to a goalless draw in an engrossing encounter.
Both sides had chances to break the deadlock, but a late missed opportunity each summed up the occasion.
The Bantams' Charles Vernum - on as a substitute - saw his shot fizz past an upright and at the other end Dominic Telford could not get on the end of a Finn Azaz pass.
Newport climbed a spot to fifth while Bradford did likewise to 14th.
Bradford manager Mark Hughes is still seeking his first home win since taking charge at Valley Parade in February.
Newport County manager James Rowberry said:
"I thought we were terrific today and I thought we did enough to win the game. I thought the passage of play we had at times, especially in the first half, was excellent.
"Naturally you're going to come under a bit of pressure when you come to Bradford with how they try to play against us.
"It's a credit to the lads and the work they've done. It's a hard earned point."
