First Michael Papps got an outside edge to AB de Villiers at third slip off a Makhaya Ntini delivery for two and then Craig Cumming was trapped leg before wicket playing across the line to Dale Steyn.

Earlier, the hosts won the toss and posted a disappointing return of 226, with Herschelle Gibbs (63) and Mark Boucher (43) the main contributors.

Shane Bond played a starring role with the ball for the tourists with four for 73, with Chris Martin claming three for 67 and captain Daniel Vettori two for 26.

Proteas skipper Graeme Smith fell for one and Hashim Amla managed just 12 before Jacques Kallis failed to make the most of two lives as he managed only 29 despite being dropped twice.

Kallis reached lunch unbeaten but an excellent catch from McCullum off Iain O'Brien from the first delivery after the interval meant he could not add to his score.

Ashwell Prince (one) soon followed, edging Bond to Fleming at first slip, leaving Gibbs and De Villiers to dig in.

They contributed 49 together before Gibbs became Martin's second victim as Fleming took the catch after a rare injudicious stroke from Gibbs found its way to first slip.

De Villiers fell in the second over of the final session without adding to his score of 33 to give Bond his third wicket the paceman then removed Andre Nel for 15 thanks to another catch from McCullum, before Vettori took his first wicket by trapping Paul Harris lbw.

Papps caught Boucher at point to give his skipper a second and Martin rounded things off by dismissing Steyn thanks to McCullum's fourth catch of the innings.
