Wigan Athletic's Capital One Cup clash with Bury remains goalless at the break after an entertaining 45 minutes at the DW Stadium.
Will Grigg went close inside the opening two minutes as his effort from inside the area was blocked and turned behind for a corner.
Jordan Flores then picked out the lively Michael Jacobs who drilled an effort towards goal that was stopped by another Bury body.
The visitors had their first effort on target when Tom Soares poked a shot towards goal, but Richard O'Donnell was equal to it.
However, it was Jacobs who came closest to breaking the deadlock when the winger skipped clear of the Bury defence and flashed an effort narrowly over the top of Christian Walton's goal.
Leon Clarke thought he had put Bury ahead on the stroke of half time, but his low effort was ruled out for offside.
