Middlesbrough frustrated again in promotion pursuit as they are held by Blackburn

Middlesbrough wasted an opportunity to tighten their grip on second place as they were held to a 0-0 draw at Blackburn.

With fellow promotion hopefuls Ipswich and Millwall also cancelling each other out in a 1-1 stalemate, Kim Hellberg's side had the chance to steal a march on their rivals but it was a familiar story as they failed to capitalise on their dominance.
