    Middlesbrough 0-0 Rotherham

    Points shared as Middlesbrough's tough start to the season goes on.

    There was precious little to separate these two so it's certainly a fair result.

    The best chance fell to Boro's Duncan Watmore inside the first 20 minutes but he couldn't keep his effort down when the ball fell to him in the area.

    Boro will spend the international break in the Championship relegation zone.

    The Millers are eighth.

    Matt Crooks is back up on his feet but you can already see the bruising on his eye coming up.

    That's a sore one for the former Rotherham man.

    Ouch.

    Matt Crooks is cleaned out by Millers goalkeeper Viktor Johansson as he heads over the bar.

    The Boro man was offside so there'll be no punishment for the Johansson.

    Crooks is getting some treatment on the field.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Rotherham

    Middlesbrough made a bright start to this second half but it's really fizzled away.

    If they can't find a late winner they will be spending the international break in the bottom three in the Championship.

    That's nice from Rotherham.

    They move the ball through the thirds with some tidy passing and eventually win a corner when Matt Clarke slices Cohen Bramall's cross over the bar.

    Boro clear the set piece as the Riverside rises for a minute's applause to mark the Queen's 70-year reign.
