Peter Crouch headed Pompey in front in the 21st minute after they dominated matters with a flying start. But Michael Turner nodded a far-post equaliser nine minutes after half time before right-back Glen Johnson restored Pompey's lead with a 25-yard stunner.

Noe Pamarot - under pressure from 39-year-old Dean Windass - headed an 89th minute own goal to earn Hull a point.

In only the second minute England right-back Johnson crossed from the right and Papa Bouba Diop - who has yet to score for Portsmouth - soared above the Hull defenders but saw his fierce header hit the underside of the bar.

Pompey got their reward in the 21st minute when Crouch's close-range header went in off a defender.

The visitors were level in the 54th minute when Dean Marney's corner was headed further across goal by defender Kamil Zayatte for Turner to head in.

But three minutes after the equaliser, Tony Adams made the positive double-change which refreshed Pompey - and it took just six minutes to pay off.

David Nugent went on for his first appearance of the season having recovered from a second hernia operation, while Armand Traore replaced the impressive Nadir Belhadj.

But it was Johnson who had the hosts back in front with a stunning drive that flew past the startled Myhill from all of 25 yards - completing a wonder week for the England defender who was on top of his game in Berlin against Germany and again here.

However, Pamarot's own goal silenced the Fratton Park faithful and earned the top-flight newcomers a point.
