Jake Jervis scored five goals in two spells at Portsmouth before he joined Plymouth

Plymouth Argyle must wait for promotion from League Two after drawing against Portsmouth at Fratton Park.

Argyle's Jake Jervis headed in Gary Sawyer's cross for a 12th-minute lead.

Third-placed Pompey levelled when Gary Roberts latched on to Luke McCormack's fumble from Kyle Bennett's cross.

Luton's draw with Leyton Orient left Plymouth 11 points clear of fourth place with four games remaining, but a win for Derek Adams' side against Newport will secure promotion.

In the so called Dockyard derby, ex-Portsmouth forward Jervis nodded in his 11th goal of the season in the first half and winger Matty Kennedy should have doubled the lead when he fired into the side netting after a mazy run.

The Pilgrims lost in the League Two play-offs last season but are still on course to secure promotion, along with leaders Doncaster who are already up, with four games to spare.

Pompey had more possession and chances throughout the game until their equaliser and sit four points beyond Plymouth, eight points clear of the chasing play-off teams.
