Boland’s first ball McCullum had desposited metres over the sight screen with a huge straight drive.

Boland’s first ball McCullum had desposited metres over the sight screen with a huge straight drive.

Yet until McCullum's late and, as it proved, decisive assault, England had done well to peg back the Black Caps after an incendiary, not to say pyrotechnic, start in which the giant flame throwers parked in front of the sight screen at one end belched their dragons' breath skyward at each boundary and came close to incinerating Morgan at one stage as he leant over the boundary boards to retrieve the ball.

In June 1974 he registered the 100th century to be scored in a Lord's Test match as England crushed India, and back at the ground two months later he held a memorable catch off Pakistan's Wasim Raja, leaping almost to the top of the sight screen at the Nursery End to arrest the ball with one hand.

The sight screen lit, showing the approaching body clearly.
