Taylor's 151 was just three runs shy of his highest Test score and included 26 boundaries and one six, while Ryder was unbeaten on 137 when play ended at McLean Park.
James Franklin was 26 not out but was lucky to be there after surviving a caught behind appeal and seeing Yuvraj Singh drop him in the slips.But Taylor and Ryder turned the tide superbly, hitting boundaries all round the ground as the previously dominant Indians were given a taste of their own medicine.
The Indians suffered a setback even before the Test began when captain MS Dhoni was a late withdrawal with a back problem.
But they would have been buoyed by the start they had with Tim McIntosh, Martin Guptill and Jamie How - in for the injured Daniel Flynn - all dismissed early.
