KEY POINTS:
Tim Southee made a dream start to his test cricket career taking two early English wickets to have the tourists struggling at 16 for three after an hour on day one of the third test here at McLean Park.
Southee, 19, took a wicket with his 11th ball when England captain Michael Vaughan was trapped leg before wicket for two.
The rookie right arm swing bowler, who was named player of the tournament at the under-19 World Cup last month, then placed England is deeper strife when Andrew Strauss was snapped up in the gully without scoring in his next over.
Alastair Cook (2) compounded England's woes when he played on a delivery from Chris Martin to reduce England to four for three in the seventh over - less than an hour after Vaughan had won the toss and had no hesitation in batting first.
At the first drinks breaks Kevin Pietersen was unbeaten on nine and Ian Bell was on two.
Southee had the impressive figures of two for five from seven overs while Martin had one for 11 off seven.
