Nick Powell's header earned Stoke City a point from an enthralling game and prevented lowly Rotherham securing consecutive Championship wins for the first time in almost five years.
The Millers trailed to an unfortunate Angus MacDonald own goal, but hit back to leave it level at the break through a close-range strike from Matt Crooks.
A dull game burst into life in a frantic second period with a scrappy Michael Smith effort making it 2-1 for the hosts, only for Danny Batth to head the Potters level.
Crooks restored Rotherham's lead with a classy first-time shot, but Powell's powerful header into the far corner earned Stoke a draw and takes them up a place to seventh.
