India dominate fourth day as England reach 105/4
Joe Root (14*) and Moeen Ali (15*) will resume proceedings on Monday as England still need 214 runs for victory.
Earlier, it was Murali Vijay's 95, Ravindra Jadeja's 57-ball 68 and
Bhuvneshwar Kumar's 52 which helped India progress quickly from their overnight 169-4 to 342 all out in the day.
After good knocks by batsmen, it was Indian bowlers who hit the right tune and damaged the opponent side.
Jadeja was the first one to strike as he took the wicket of Sam Robson (7).
Ishant Sharma took two wickets of Gary Ballance (27) and Ian Bell (1) while Mohammed Shami scalped the wicket of Alastair Cook (22) to reduce England 105 for four at stumps.
India will need to take six wickets on the last day to take 1-0 lead in the 5-match series.
England's winless run will be extended to 10.
India had scored 295 all out in their first innings while England had made 319 all out in reply.
The first Test of the series had ended in a draw.
