The hosts had the first chance of the game as a Jamie Ward corner from the right came out to Will Hughes, whose subsequent shot flew just wide of the Rovers goal.

Just before the quarter-hour mark, Craig Conway appeared to be felled in the Derby box, but nothing was given, while Corry Evans latched on to the ball moments later, but his effort was blocked and cleared away.

In what proved to be an open game, the Rams then pushed forward again, with Ward again at the centre of the action as he fired a shot which blazed over the bar.

Despite both sides coming forward at every opportunity, neither was able to break the deadlock come half time.
