After being sent out to bat first, India openers Rohit Sharma (83) and Lokesh Rahul (127 not out) stitched a 126-run partnership. James Anderson (2/52) scalped two wickets in the middle to peg the visitors back a little bit but a 117-run third-wicket partnership between Rahul and Skipper Virat Kohli (43) changed the fortunes for India in the final session.
Ollie Robinson (1/47) dismissed Kohli towards the end of the day.
Earlier, the start of play was delayed by 15 minutes because of some morning rain.
