Having resumed on 57-1 after tea, Murali Vijay (52) andCheteshwar Pujara (55) were dismissed with successive balls by Moeen Ali and Liam Plunkett respectively to leave the tourists on 140-2 midway through the evening session.
England continued to toil out in the middle in search of further Indian wickets, but they were unable to make the breakthrough.
Virat Kohli (eight not out) and Ajinkya Rahane (18 not out) will return to the crease tomorrow morning.

With England starting the session on 485-9, Joe Root and James Anderson added a further 11 runs to their record-breaking 10th-wicket partnership before Anderson was dismissed for 81. Root finished with an unbeaten knock of 154.
India's return to the crease got off to a disappointing start as Shikhar Dhawan was caught and bowled by Moeen Alifor 29 to leave the tourists on 49-1.
Murali Vijay (19 not out) and Cheteshwar Pujara (eight not out) will resume out in the middle when play gets back underway.
LUNCH: England have found their way back into the first Test against India in the morning session on day three at Trent Bridge.
Having resumed on 352-9, 105 runs short of the tourists' first-innings total, Joe Root (143 not out) and James Anderson (81 not out) have continued their record-breaking 10th-wicket partnership to reach 485-9 at lunch, giving England a 28-run lead.
Anderson has produced his highest ever Test score, having previously only hit 34 during a match against South Africa, and also scored the runs that drew the scores level.
India toiled as they tried to wrap up the home side's innings just before the break, even bringing Murali Vijay into the attack, despite the opening batsman having only bowled one previous over in Test cricket.
The session was extended by 30 minutes in order to give India time to find the final wicket, but Root and Anderson continued to pick up runs to edge England in front, surpassing the world record 10th-wicket partnership set by Australia during last summer's Ashes.
Multiple cricket records have been broken on day three of the first Test between England and India at Trent Bridge this morning.
Joe Root and James Anderson's 100-run 10th-wicket partnership meant that for the first time in Test history, there were two 100+ 10th-wicket partnerships in the same game after India managed the same with Bhuvneshwar Kumar andMohammed Shami.
Anderson was in tears last month when he was dismissed two bowls from salvaging a draw against Sri Lanka, but put that disappointment behind him today.
The Lancashire bowler went past his previous best of 34 early in the day and then reached a landmark first 50 with a hook shot to the boundary in his 131st Test innings.
That meant that Anderson had waited longer than any other batsman for his first Test 50 and he then broke another record by becoming the highest-scoring number 11 in England Test history.
The previous record of 59 was held by John Snow from 1966, but was broken when Anderson reached 60 not out.
Soon after, yet another record was smashed when Root and Anderson's partnership reached 134 not out - the highest 10-wicket partnership in England Test history.
