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:
13. Billy Sharp 9
On for his DN4 swansong at the break and felt like destiny that he would get on the scoresheet as he bundled home close-range to level matters. It was some celebration that greeted it, too. Was a constant pest as he ran Stevenage ragged. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
14. Hakeeb Adelakun 8
Added intensity to Rovers after his introduction and played a huge role in Sharp's strike. Dug in and did his defensive duties as well. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
15. Bayley McCann 6
Subbed on for his Rovers debut and understandably a few nerves but he grew into it. Photo: Heather King Photography
