Off-spinner Jeetan Patel removed key batsmen Sachin Tendulkar and Venkatsai Laxman as New Zealand restricted India to 392-6 at lunch on the second day of the first Test on Friday.

Tendulkar (40) offered a simple return catch to Patel, disappointing a sizeable crowd that was expecting to celebrate his 50th Test ton on Diwali, the festival of lights.
