McCullum notched 32 boundaries and four sixes in his knock, it is the highest individual test score by any Kiwis player.

The skipper became the 24th player to score more than three hundred runs in an innings.

Martin Crowe held the previous record 0f 299  for 23 years ago.

McCullum and Watling, who made a career-best 124, set a world-record sixth-wicket Test stand of 352, and Neesham finished unbeaten on 137, a world record for a number eight batsman on debut.

McCullum became just the third man after illustrious Australian Don Bradman and England's Wally Hammond in the 1930s to score double and triple tons in consecutive Tests.

New Zealand won the two-match series 1-0.
