Blue Square Bet Premier

An injury-time header from Lee Phillips secured a point for Bath at Braintree.

Gethin Jones' header from Marc Canham's cross gave the league's basement club the lead, before two goals in three minutes turned the game on its head.

Ben Wright's left-footed curler from 20 yards was followed by Mark McCammon's low shot from a Ryan Peters pass.

Matt Paine's header just after the break gave the hosts a 3-1 lead but Marley Watkins' header closed the gap before Phillips' late leveller.

VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM

Braintree Town manager Alan Devonshire told BBC Essex:

"I don't know what Ryan [Peters] is doing, last kick of the game, it's soul-destroying, it is like a defeat."

"We done so well to get 3-1 up and I didn't see any danger, I thought we'd seen it through."

"You can't count for individual errors but they are creeping into this now, its something we've got to stop."
