In the first test match between New Zealand and England played at Lords, rain halted play again on the third day.
Rain spoiled the sport in all the three days so far and is expected to rain again during the remaining two days.
After put into bat by England skipper Vaughan, New Zealand ended the day 1 at 208 for 6 in 52.1 overs. Rain spoiled the remaining 37.5 overs.
The remaining wickets were taken and New Zealand lost all the wickets afer lunch. They were all out for 277 with McCullum scoring 97 and skipper Vettori scoring 48.
