PUNE, India (AP) — New Zealand was spun out for 259 and Washington Sundar grabbed a career-best 7-59 for India on day one Thursday of the second test.

Sundar, who was parachuted into India’s playing 11 after it lost the first test by eight wickets, stunned the Black Caps as he picked up five wickets after the tea break.

At stumps, India was 16-1. Captain Rohit Sharma was bowled by Tim Southee for a nine-ball duck.

New Zealand was 197-3 and looking good to make 300 until Sundar sparked a collapse by bowling Rachin Ravindra for 65.

New Zealand lost its last seven wickets for 62 runs in 20 overs.

Ravichandran Ashwin took 3-64 as he and Sundar shared all 10. It was only the sixth instance of spinners taking all 10 wickets in India home tests.

Ashwin got both wickets to fall in the morning. He trapped Tom Latham for 15 and feathered Will Young’s glove to be caught behind for 18. New Zealand was 92-2 at lunch after opting to bat.

Devon Conway scored 50 off 109 balls and after lunch he and Ravindra upped the run rate.

Ashwin brought it back under control by dismissing Conway in the 44th over – caught behind chasing a wide delivery turning away. He top-scored with 76 runs off 141 balls, including 11 fours. He put on 62 off 117 balls with Ravindra for the fourth wicket.

Daryl Mitchell struggled to get going against Ashwin, but settled down to add another 59 off 95 balls with Ravindra.

Ravindra scored his sixth half-century (including two tons) in his 11th test before Sundar bowled him for 65 off 105 balls — including five fours and a six — in the 60th over.

Sundar made it a quick double blow, bowling Tom Blundell for 3. New Zealand was down to 201-5 at tea.

Mitchell was lbw for 18 off Sundar shortly after tea and New Zealand lost three vital wickets for seven runs.

Glenn Phillips (9) and Mitchell Santner added 32 runs for the seventh wicket before Sundar then ran through the lower order.

Phillips was caught at mid-off, and Tim Southee was bowled by Sundar for his maiden five-wicket haul in his fifth test.

Sundar also bowled Ajaz Patel (4) and Mitchell Santner (33) to achieve the fourth-best haul by an India spinner against New Zealand on home soil.

At stumps, Yashavi Jaiswal was on 6 and Shubman Gill on 10.
