Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh kept India in control of the second Test despite England's impressive bowling display on day four in Mohali.
Following a fog-delayed start, England resumed on 282-6 in reply to India's 453 but they were bowled out for 302 as Harbhajan Singh finished with 4-68.
The tourists fought back to reduce India to 44-3 and then 80-4.
But Gambhir (44no) and the explosive Yuvraj (39no) guided the hosts to 134-4 at the close, a lead of 285.
With his side having offered such a poor display with the bat, England captain Kevin Pietersen will have been delighted by the way they performed in the field.
But the arrival of Yuvraj, their nemesis in the abandoned one-day-series, allowed India to reassert their authority going into day five.
