Callum Cooke fired John Askey’s side into a first half lead before Bradford’s Andy Cook levelled early in the second half.
But Pools regained the lead when Dan Kemp danced his way along the Bantams defence to calmly slot home only for League Two’s leading scorer Cook to volley a magnificent equaliser.
Despite some positive signs it's a result which sees Pools drop into the bottom two after results elsewhere.
And here’s how they fared:
5. Edon Pruti - 6
The one Cook perhaps got the best of over the course of the game but that’s not necessarily a criticism given his form. Still a solid enough display and saw plenty of the ball again when stepping out. (Photo: Mike Morese | MI News) Photo: Mike Morese
6. David Ferguson - 6
Operated really advanced in the first half and got into a number of good crossing positions but just couldn’t find that final ball. Was a bit better in that aspect after the break but left Pruti a little isolated at times defensively. (Photo: Michael Driver | MI News) Photo: Michael Driver
7. Mohamad Sylla - 8
Was superb in the first half. His tracking of Gilliead and Walker from midfield was excellent and he seemed to ooze confidence after Pools took the lead. Had a hand in Kemp’s goal. Seems to be working well with Kemp and Cooke. Booked. (Photo: Mike Morese | MI News) Photo: Mike Morese
8. Callum Cooke - 7
A brilliant finish to open the scoring. Timed his run well and executed perfectly. Made some good runs throughout the first half and played one eye-catching ball out to Sterry. Tired a little after the break but 90 minutes will do him good. (Photo: Mike Morese | MI News) Photo: Mike Morese
