India was bowled out for 329, losing last four wickets quite swiftly. England in their reply was bowled out for 134 to give the host a lead of 195 runs and India batting second time around were on 54 for one.
Earlier, India's tail was spun out by Moeen Ali (4-128). Olly Stone (3-47) and Jack Leach (2-78) were the other wicket-takers.
For India, Rishabh Pant (58 n.o.: 77b, 105b, 7x4, 3x6) was again in his elements during the first innings.
In England's reply, spin was in control for India. The batsmen just succumbed to the spin of Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel. Only wicket-keeper Ben Foakes offered any resistance as he remained unbeaten on 42 off 107 balls with four boundaries. Foakes shared a 35 run sixth wicket stand with Ollie Pope (22) in what was the only good point during the innings as England were bowled out for 134.
For India the wickets were shared by Ashwin (5-43), Ishant Sharma (2-22) and Axar (2-40).
In their reply lost the wicket of Shubman Gill but Rohit Sharma (25 batting) and Cheteshwar Pujara were at the crease when stumps were drawn.
