Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor combined to ensure New Zealand held a first innings lead but the advantage was not
overwhelming.
India stayed in the hunt with three wickets in the final session including Williamson for 89 and Taylor for 44 and the wicket was
showing early signs of taking spin.
Williamson and Taylor's 93-run stand for the third wicket was enough to lift New Zealand from 73-2 to be ahead of India's 165
before the tourists fight back.
When bad light brought an early end to the day, New Zealand were 216 for five, to lead by 51.
Ishant Sharma, coming back from injury and struggling with jetlag after arriving in New Zealand, was the pick of the Indian
bowlers with three for 31 off 15 overs.
However, with the initial green cover fading from the wicket there were early signs of spin which could impact on New Zealand
batting last in the match.
