They could only add 15 runs to their total however, as England polished off the last three wickets in double-quick time, before scoring at nearly a run-a-ball to reach 89/1 in 15 overs at lunch.
Jasprit Bumrah then dismissed Ben Duckett and Joe Root in consecutive overs, before India’s spinners accounted for Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes. Ollie Pope and Ben Foakes then resurrected the innings, with the former ending the day on 148*.
