Danny Cowley’s side extended their unbeaten league run to eight games with the stalemate but will feel they missed a chance to get one over a promotion rival after Massimo Luongo was sent off for a second-half foul on Ronan Curtis.
Pompey turned the screw on the visitors as they went in search of a late winner, but they were unable to get the better of a resilient Wednesday defence and an inspired performance from keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who denied George Hirst, Ronan Curtis (twice) and Reeco Hackett over the course of the 90 minutes.
Here’s how our chief sports writer rated the Blues players’ individual performances…
1. Gavin Bazunu - 8
Such a class act. Even when not challenged remains in such control.

2. Kieron Freeman - 8
Always willing to push up from back three to add more attacking impetus.

4. Connor Ogilvie - 8
Gobbled up every ball in his direction and also got involved in build-up play.
