Bottom-of-the-table Eastbourne twice battled back from behind to claim a point against fellow strugglers Histon.

The visitors took the lead when Omer Riza latched onto Lanre Oyebanjo's through-ball and lashed home.

Darren Baker poked the hosts level from close range after the break before Remy Clerima hit a superb quickfire effort from 18 yards for the Stutes.

Gary Elphick earned the Sports a first point since November when he met Jamie Taylor's fine cross.
