Ben Stokes claimed a wicket with his first ball in eight months, and James Anderson inched closer to his 700th test wicket, but India, holding an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series, looked in control of the contest.
Kuldeep Yadav (27) and Jasprit Bumrah (19) have raised 45 useful runs for the unbroken ninth wicket and they will resume on Saturday hoping to take India past the 500-mark.
