In 2017, McCullum's English domestic record was broken by fellow opening batsman Adam Lyth. The Yorkshire Viking's 161 helped his side to a T20 domestic best of 260-4, just three short of the world record total of 263-3.

The White Rose set the Northants Steelbacks a target of 261, but the visitors eventually lost by 124 runs after a promising start.

Lyth put on 127 with Tom Kohler-Cadmore for the first wicket and then 124 with David Willey for the second wicket. He hitting seven sixes and 20 fours from only 73 balls, despite only becoming a T20 regular in the season prior.

Steelbacks's pace bowler Ben Sanderson’s figures of 0-77 from four overs were the second-most expensive in T20 history.
