MARKSMAN FOR JACKETT
long punt and Wilks raced clear to slot under the hesitant Craig MacGillivray.
Portsmouth ended the half strongly, with Dion Donohue just missing the target from the edge of the 18-yard box.
The home side were level nine minutes after the re-start following a fumble by Rovers goalkeeper Marosi.
Deadline-day recruit Vaughan collected the loose ball and rounded stricken stopper Marosi, before squaring for fellow transfer window arrival Bogle to slot home from close range. Lowe threatened to put the hosts in front after 66 minutes when he got round the back of the Doncaster defence and shot wide on the turn via a deflection.
Prolific Doncaster marksman John Marquis then forced home goalkeeper MaGillivray to tip a curling effort round a post.
The game started to get stretched and Close forced Marosi to push a 20-yard drive over the crossbar with 15 minutes remaining. Ronan Curtis also had a header caught on the line by Marosi from 12 yards out in the 88th minute, while Alfie May nearly won it for Doncaster in stoppage time when Matt Clarke gave away possession in a dangerous position, but MacGillivray was equal to the shot.
Doncaster boss Grant McCann said: “I thought it was a good game. It’s always tough to come here to Fratton Park.
“It was a perfect goal and something we’ve been working on to break quickly in the transitions and Malik did well, he likes the big occasions and I’m really pleased for him.
“Their goalkeeper has made a couple of excellent saves from Marquis and May, two top-class saves, one out of the bottom corner and one out of the top corner.
“We came here and we were positive, we were positive in our changes from the last game and brought more pace and legs into the team and I think it worked although we lost come control.
“We wanted to get in behind and it worked with the goal we scored.”
