Marcus Browne came off the bench to score the equaliser after Dominic Solanke had opened the scoring for the Cherries in the first half.
Our Boro writer Joe Nicholson has dished out his marks following the match – scroll down and flick through the pages our picture gallery to see if you agree with his player ratings:
5. Paddy McNair - 9
Was a real driving force even though he was playing in defence. Looked good stepping out with the ball and assisted the equaliser. 9 Photo: Alex Livesey
6. Marvin Johnson - 6
Didn’t have as much of an impact going forward and some of his crosses were erratic. 6 Photo: Alex Livesey
7. George Saville - 6
Made a good start but was sometimes a little hesitant in the final third. 6 Photo: James Chance
8. Jonny Howson - 8
Covered plenty of ground in midfield and snapped into some important tackes to keep Boro on the front foot. 8 Photo: Clive Brunskill
