The spinners soon took over and were as relentless as they were a day before Pragyan Ojha claimed the next wicket of the day - Doug Bracewell. MS Dhoni was swift behind the stumps.

James Franklin continued to resist the Indians from one end but it was for a losing cause as wickets continued to tumble at the other end.

Dhoni and his team took to the field once again and the skipper brought in spin early. It paid off as Ojha claimed the first New Zealand wicket in the second innings, that of Martin Guptill, to hint at an early end to the Test.

Losing a Test in three days was an embarrassment that the visitors here in Hyderabad were not going to face as heavy rain lashed the stadium. The umpires eventually had no other option but to call off the day's play with New Zealand on 41/1, trailing India by 238.
