Yashasvi Jaiswal's unbeaten 51 took India to 75/2 at stumps on the second day of the fifth Test against England, with a lead of 52 runs on Friday.
India lost opener KL Rahul (7) and Sai Sudharsan (11) but conveniently erased a 23-run first innings deficit, largely due to Jaiswal’s positive approach with the bat.
Rahul was removed by Josh Tongue while Gus Atkinson accounted for Sudharsan.
Jaiswal was accompanied by night watchman Akash Deep (4 not out) when the stumps were drawn.
Earlier, England replied with 247 against India's 224 in the first essay, taking a slender lead.
India: 224 & 75/2 in 18 overs (Yashasvi Jaiswal 51 not out; Josh Tongue 1/25)
England: 247 all out in 51.2 overs (Zak Crawley 64, Harry Brook 53 ; Mohammed Siraj 4/86, Prasidh Krishna 4/62.
