Ind-NZ: Ashwin's brace give India the edge
At tea, New Zealand are at 135 runs for the loss of 3 wickets.
Ashwin trapped both the Kiwi opener and skipper for 24 and 4 respectively.
Top Latham, who scored a half-century in the first innings of the first Test, made his innings count here as the southpaw is unbeaten at 74.
Latham was involved in a 55-run stand for the opening wicket with Guptill and later stitched together another 49 run partnership with Henry Nicholls (24).
Nicholls' indecisive footwork paved his downfall as he was trapped in the crease after a Jedeja delivery took the edge of his bat.
Luke Ronchi (9) and Latham will resume batting when play starts post tea.
