Peter Fulton shouldered arms to a Zaheer Khan delivery and was trapped plumb in front of the wicket in the second over of the New Zealand second innings.
Earlier, Ajinkya Rahane hit his maiden Test century as India were bowled out for 438 runs in their first innings.
Superb batting from India helped them achieve a lead of 246 runs. Shikhar Dhawan, at the top was brilliant but unfortunately he missed out on his ton. The middle order got starts but the players failed to capitalize.
Indian captain MS Dhoni and Rahane shared a 120-run stand for the seventh wicket. Dhoni got his fifty whereas Rahane crossed the triple digit mark for the first time. Handy runs from the tail-enders helped India go past the 400-run mark.
