Grant McCann's men trailed at the break but super-sub Billy Sharp - on his swansong DN4 appearance - earned a share of the spoils.
The visitors went in front after less than ten minutes when Matty Phillips volleyed home from outside the area. Moments earlier Owen Bailey had missed a glorious chance for Rovers when he planted a header wide from inside the box.
The rest of the half was a pretty low-key affair although Phillips tried his luck again from outside the area only for Thimothee Lo-Tutala to get right behind it. Bailey blazed over as Rovers, spurred on by a triple change at half-time, came out roaring and two of those subs then combined to level matters.
Sharp, in his final home game after announcing this week that he will depart this summer, was in the right place a yard out to tap home after excellent wing work from Hakeeb Adelakun. The hosts had some chances to win it but ultimately spoils were shared.
Here's our ratings for the Rovers players this lunchtime:

Stood no chance with Phillips' speculative volley. Not too many bits and pieces to clear up, besides that. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
2. Tom Nixon 6
First league start since New Year's Day and made a lively start with good inroads made. Off after 45 positive minutes. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
3. Matty Pearson 6
Some iffy moments but generally cleared most things that came his way and had a stack of clearances. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
4. Jay McGrath 6
Back in the mix but a few misplaced and sloppy passes. Warranted a yellow just before the break when he clattered into the onrushing Charlie Goode. Firmed up in a back four as the game progressed. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
