England were 230 for five in reply to India’s first-innings 107 all out, a lead of 123 runs, at tea on the third day of the second Test at Lord’s on Saturday.
Jonny Bairstow was 62 not out and Chris Woakes 55 not out, with their unbroken sixth-wicket stand so far worth 99 runs.
England lead this five-match series 1-0 after a 31-run win in the first Test at Edgbaston last week.
