India's Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh picked up five wickets in the morning session on day two to trigger a New Zealand batting collapse in their first innings of the second test on Saturday.Resuming on a strong overnight score of 258 for four built on Tim McIntosh's opening day ton, New Zealand were 341-9 at lunch, adding just 83 runs for the loss of five batsmen in the morning session at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
In a fiery spell of left-arm swing bowling, Khan (4-66) trapped right-handers Gareth Hopkins (4) and Kane Williamson (4) leg before as he managed to get the ball to swing back from around the wicket.
Harbhajan then joined in the fun for the hosts by dismissing Daniel Vettori (11), Jesse Ryder (70) and Tim Southee (10) to foil New Zealand's chances of setting a formidable first innings score. Ryder was the lone batsman to provide resistance as he took the attack to the hosts, hitting 10 boundaries in his knock.
He was particularly punishing on an erratic Shanthakumaran Sreesanth before he edged Harbhajan to Vangipurappu Laxman in the lone slip position.
The three-match series is tied at 0-0 after the opening test was drawn in Ahmedabad
