Wicketkeeper McCullum, promoted to number five for this series, hit a swift 97 before being bowled by Monty Panesar off his pads.

That meant the Black Caps were 208 for six when bad light stopped play but things had been much worse as England claimed the first five wickets inside 32 overs after Michael Vaughan won the toss.

Four years ago McCullum hit 96 in the second innings of the corresponding contest and the crowd were warming to his latest eye-catching effort, which saw him score 61 runs off just 42 deliveries after tea, when left-arm spinner Panesar struck.

It was sweet revenge for Panesar, who was lofted for a straight six in his first over of the evening session - one of two big hits from McCullum which cleared the rope in his run-a-ball innings.

Jacob Oram's contribution to a 99-run stand for the sixth wicket was just 23.

Earlier James Anderson claimed three wickets and Stuart Broad two as the England pace attack exploited the helpful overhead conditions on the first morning of international cricket this summer.
