The visitors looked more potent up front, although without really creating a clear-cut opportunity.
Both sides went in level at the break, but Reading almost opened the scoring five minutes after the restart - Josh Stokes saw his close-range efforts blocked by McDonnell and Dan Sweeney denied Kyreece Lisbie from the follow-up.
The home side slowly got into the game, having withstood some more Reading pressure, and Ryan Johnson saw his 68th-minute effort cleared off the line after a Zack Nelson free-kick.
With five minutes' additional time, it was likely one chance would decide the game. However, despite a late run by Steven Sessegnon for the hosts, it proved honours even.
