Bucks had gone in front through Leo Adams, only to see Paul Pickering level for the Millers.
Matt Thornber then looked to have sealed the deal for the Bucks, but Long had the final say.

AFC Rushden & Diamonds progressed 2-1 at higher grade Yaxley thanks to a late Ben Morgan winner after Deven Ellwood’s first half opener was quickly cancelled out by Luke Hipwell.
