New Zealand has finished on top during the opening day of the first Test against India at Auckland after posting 329 at the loss of four wickets at the close, boosted by centuries from captain Brendon McCullum and Kane Williamson.
Even as Zaheer Khan dismissed Williamson in the final session, the hosts finished on top with McCullum scoring an unbeaten 143 in the company of Corey Anderson.
Meanwhile, Ishant Sharma scored his 150th Test wicket in his 54th Test by removing Hamish Rutherford, and in the process becoming the 11th Indian to take 150 Test wickets.
