India are leading New Zealand by nine runs at lunch on day two of the second Test in Wellington.
India resumed play on 100-2, after Cheteshwar Pujara put on a partnership of 77 with Shikhar Dhawan before being trapped by Trent Boult shortly before stumps.
They made it to 141, but Ishant Sharma edged a delivery to BJ Watling to end his innings on 26.
Dhawan continued to hit well and seemed to be on course for a century. However, Tim Southee got him out on 98 to give New Zealand a huge boost.
With lunch approaching, the Black Caps were able to grab the wicket of Rohit Sharma (0), with a maiden Test wicket for Jimmy Neesham.
That ensured that India finished the first session of play on 201-5, nine ahead with five wickets remaining.
