McCullum was a quiet figure as the Lions plugged away in the field, emerging from his viewing position only occasionally (and being swamped by excited, autograph-hunting kids). But his influence on the English red-ball game is being seen at county level, and he addressed the team before play, reminding them that his door was open if they had any questions about what he was after.
