India started the second day where they left off the first, piling on the runs while England continued to toil in the field in search of wickets.
The hosts started the day on 119 for one, 127 runs behind the visitors’ first-innings total. On the morning of the second day, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had dominated on the first day, and resumed on 70 from 76, was caught out in the first over by Joe Root.
England then claimed the wicket of Shubman Gill, but KL Rahul survived an early scare when he was on zero and went on to make 86, before miss-timing the ball straight to deep midwicket.
On the first day, England struggled to take wickets after being bowled out for 246, while Jaiswal dominated, hitting 76 from just 70 deliveries as India hit 119-1 in reply, in just 23 overs.
England were dealt a blow shortly before the first Test when Harry Brook returned home for personal reasons, although they will be buoyed with the news that Virat Kohli was also ruled out of the first two Tests for personal reasons.
