England produced an outstanding bowling and fielding display to drag themselves back into contention on day two of the third Test against India in Mohali.
After wrapping up the England innings for 283 in the first four overs of the day, India were well placed at 148-2.
But the tourists took three wickets for eight runs, before Ben Stokes removed India captain Virat Kohli for 62.
Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja then shared an unbroken stand of 67 as India closed on 271-6, 12 behind.
India are looking to that pair and the rest of their tail to build a lead on the third morning against a ball that is only four overs old.
England will want to mop up the innings quickly, then put in a much-improved batting display in their second attempt on a surface that remains good for run-scoring.
However, the tourists, who are 1-0 down in the five-match series, are waiting on the fitness of Haseeb Hameed, who did not field after taking a blow to the hand while batting and will have a scan at the end of the Test.
