Shrewsbury and Derby played out an entertaining goalless draw at Montgomery Waters Meadow.
The Rams controlled the first half before Steve Cotterill's men responded well after the break, but neither side were able to break the deadlock in the sides' first league meeting since 1987.
Richard Stearman missed Liam Rosenior's side's best chance of the first half when he steered Conor Hourihane's inviting free-kick wide from close range.
The hosts were invigorated after the break and Daniel Udoh lifted a shot over the ball after latching onto a long pass.
Shrewsbury captain Luke Leahy almost scored from his own half when he spotted Joe Wildsmith off his line, but his effort sailed narrowly over the crossbar.
Derby continued to create chances of their own in the second half as Louie Sibley's effort was stopped by Marko Marosi, but Udoh could have pinched the points for the Shrews when he fired over at the death.
