Khan struck again at the start of his next over when Martin Guptill tried to fend off a bouncer only to see the ball fly to gully where Virender Sehwag, taking over the captaincy duties, took a diving catch.

Ryder then saw off the hat-trick ball and he and Taylor guided the Black Caps to 98 for three by lunch.

While the Indians enjoyed the upper hand in the morning session, the afternoon belonged to New Zealand's batsmen.

In the fourth over after the interval Taylor brought up his half-century with his 11th four of the innings and three overs later Ryder joined him when he struck a boundary through cover to bring up his 52.Taylor moved quickly into the 90s with three successive boundaries off Yuvraj, although the last one was somewhat streaky as he was dropped by Rahul Dravid at first slip.

Virender Sehwag, who took over the captaincy duties in the absence of the injured Mahendra Singh Dhoni, felt it had been a tough day for his bowlers, who were not helped by several dropped catches.

"We knew it was a good track and that someone would get a hundred here. If we'd taken that Taylor catch it would have been 25 for four," he said.

He added: "It's tough for the bowlers. It's not easy to bowl on one line or length because the ball is coming on to the bat and with the fast outfield the batsmen can play their shots and it goes through the gap.

"It's difficult to set the field for someone who is playing shots. It's a good track to bat on. They is nothing for the bowlers so hopefully we will do well during out batting time."

"We missed our chances and that's why he went on to score runs."
