Patel had taken 29 wickets at an average of 32.48 in his previous 10 Tests

New Zealand's Ajaz Patel became the third bowler in history to take 10 wickets in a Test innings, but India seized control of the second Test.

The left-arm spinner added six wickets to the four he took on day one to finish with 10-119 as India were bowled out for 325 in Mumbai.

Jim Laker and Anil Kumble are the only other players to achieve the feat.

New Zealand were bowled out for 62 in reply, before India closed day two on 69-0 - a lead of 332.

The two-match series is level at 0-0 after India came within one wicket of forcing victory in the opening Test.
