Wellington has had the better of the first morning in its four-day match with Otago at the University Oval.
At lunch, the home side is 87 for four with star Indian test batsman VVS Laxman back in the sheds with 20 to his name.
Laxman, who is making a guest appearance for the Volts, looked to have plenty of time but flirted with a wide delivery and steered the ball straight to Harry Boam at backward point.
Seamer Michael Burns has taken all of the wickets to fall with four for 29 from 10 overs.
Earlier, light rain had delayed the start of the game.
Wellington won the toss and elected to bowl.
Overhead conditions are expected to help the seamers.
Left arm spinner Nick Beard is 12th man for the home side and Mark Houghton will carry the drinks for Wellington.
