A brace from Nathan Redmond had put the Saints in the driving seat but Frank Lampard’s men hit two goals in three second-half minutes to secure a draw.
Jack Marriott fired into the bottom corner after a clever assist from Tom Lawrence with 58 minutes gone and the Rams were level just three minutes later when Lawrence turned scorer.
That is the way it stayed meaning the two sides do it all over again.
Elsewhere, Chelsea made the fourth round courtesy of a 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest in what could be Cesc Fabregas’ last game for the club.
The 31-year-old missed a 29th-minute penalty but a second-half double from Alvaro Morata ensured Chelsea’s progression to round four.
Former Arsenal and Barcelona player Fabregas was captain on the day ahead of an expected move to Monaco and the 2010 World Cup winner was in tears at the final whistle.
Premier League Cardiff were victims of a giant-killing act by Gillingham, losing 1-0.
