New Zealand claimed a 40-run victory over India in the first Test after an enthralling finish in Auckland on Sunday.
With the game in the balance as the tourists resumed at 87 for one on day four, the Black Caps eventually bowled India out for 366 in the final session.
Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni – with 115, 67 and 39 respectively – had threatened to give India their first win away from home in the five-day format since June 2011.
But Neil Wagner claimed four wickets amid Tim Southee and Trent Boult grabbing three apiece as the Black Caps moved 1-0 ahead in the two-match series.
New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum was named man of the match for his 224 in the first innings, while Wagner took eight wickets in the match.
Needing 407 to win, if India had made the runs it would have been the third highest successful run-chase in Test history.
Cheteshwar Pujara fell early on day four at Eden Park, edging a Southee delivery to BJ Watling for the second of his six second-innings catches.
Kohli and Dhawan looked to be taking the game away from New Zealand as they built a 126-run partnership for the third wicket.
The hosts were largely unthreatening but got the break they needed during the middle session as Kohli tried to pull a Wagner delivery and was caught down low by Watling.
Another wicket came largely out of nowhere as a Wagner bouncer caught Dhawan's glove and flew through to Watling.
That was to prove crucial as New Zealand pressed home their advantage after taking the new ball and emerged triumphant.
