NEIL HARRIS scored his second goal of pre-season as Millwall drew 1-1 with Championship new boys Reading.

The veteran striker, who recently signed a new one-year contract in south Bermondsey, chipped home keeper Andersen with only five minutes of the match remaining.

But just moments after the restart, Royals forward Simon Church cut in from the right wing before firing a shot through a crowd of players and into the back of the net.

The Lions will face London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in a behind closed doors friendly on July 26 before turning out against non-league Ebbsfleet United on the following Wednesday.

Reading: Andersen; Spence, Kelly, Bennett, Pearce; Karacan (Lossaso 80), Sigurdsson (Goddard 60), Henry, Hunt (Hateley 45) Bignall, Church

Millwall: Edwards, Dunne, Craig, Robinson, Whitbread, Smith (Martin), Abdou (Fuseini), Laird, Hackett (Spiller), Harris, Grimes (Forbes)
