Darren Huckerby's second-half strike gave Premiership strugglers Norwich a deserved draw away to Birmingham City.
Huckerby pounced from three yards out to tap in from David Bentley's cross.
Birmingham took the lead when Clinton Morrison nodded in from close range after Emile Heskey's header rebounded off the crossbar.
Morrison had two more efforts that were well saved by England keeper Robert Green, while Huckerby was guilty of screwing wide in the first-half.
The story of the first half centred around the potent partnership of Heskey and Morrison.
Morrison, in particular, was in superb form.
The Republic of Ireland hitman was thriving on the good supply provided by David Dunn and Damien Johnson, but it was the selfless running from Heskey that opened up the Norwich defence on several occasions for Morrison.
The striker was unfortunate not to double his tally just before the break after a good one-two with Heskey on the edge of the area but his placed effort found the hands of a relieved Green..
And just before the interval, Green's international credentials were tested to the limit when he somehow managed to tip Morrison's snap-shot over the crossbar.
The Canaries were limited to just one chance on goal, which Darren Huckerby struck woefully wide after he was put through by Mathias Svensson.
The second-half was an entirely different affair, as Nigel Worthington's men came out of their changing-room with renewed vigour.
Midfielder Phil Mulryne became the first Canaries player to test Maik Taylor with a fierce low 20-yard-effort.
Svensson then went closer with a four-yard effort that he scuffed into Taylor's hands.
But the Blues shot-stopper had little chance with Norwich's next shot on goal.
Taylor palmed an inswinging ball into the path of Bentley who fired a low cross into the penalty area.
The ball eluded Leon McKenzie and Svensson but found Huckerby who gleefully took his chance.
Further opportunities fell to both sides during a frenetic last 10 minutes, but in the end a draw proved to be the fair result.
