Darren Potter had an early cross saved and Ross Wallace had an inswinging right-wing corner and a 20-yard shot saved by Owls keeper Lee Grant.

Darren Carter cut in from the left and beat Richard Wood, but his low right-foot shot was smothered by Grant at the foot of the near post.
Stephen Elliott had a cross saved and then Michael Gray crossed for Marcus Tudgay to have a shot saved.
A stinging shot by Gray was pushed around the far post one-handed by the Preston keeper and just before half time a left-wing cross by Wallace was met by Parkin from eight yards out, but he hit the crossbar.
