Gillingham picked up their first away point of the season with a goalless draw in a poor match at Walsall.
The visitors had the ball in the goal early in the match, but Mark McCammon's close-range strike was ruled out for a handball offence.
Steve Jones had Walsall's best chance of the opening period, but his rising drive was comfortably saved by visiting keeper Simon Royce.
And late on, Sam Parkin curled a left-footed shot wide of the far post.
