England moved closer to levelling the series against India with another dominant display on day four of the third Test in Southampton.
Chasing a notional 445 to win, the tourists were reduced to 112-4 at the close, with Moeen Ali taking two wickets and Joe Root one.
And England could have ended the day in an even stronger position had James Anderson clung on to a difficult return chance off Rohit Sharma, who remains on six, alongside Ajinkya Rahane (15).
Earlier, Anderson took two wickets in the morning session to finish with 5-53 as India were bowled out for 330, a first-innings deficit of 239.
England opted not to enforce the follow-on, coasting to 205-4 declared as Root smashed 56 from 41 balls and captain Alastair Cook confirmed his return to form with an unbeaten 70.
That left 42 overs remaining in the day - plus 90 on Thursday - for England to wipe out the 1-0 deficit established by their defeat in the second Test at Lord's.
And on a pitch increasingly showing signs of turn, England tore through the India top order with Moeen coming to the fore.
India had appeared to be successfully resisting the threat of the new ball when they presented a breakthrough to the home side.
Shikhar Dhawan called Murali Vijay through for a single and, with Vijay slow to set off, Stuart Broad swooped on the leg side to hit the stumps at the striker's end direct and leave Vijay just short of his ground.
In the next over, Moeen - who should have had Dhawan given out lbw - deceived Cheteshwar Pujara into edging towards slip, where Chris Jordan took an excellent one-handed catch, diving to his right.
Beautifully as Moeen was bowling, Cook's instinct was to call on part-time off-spinner Root, a decision that paid dividends when he turned one to take Dhawan's edge, Jordan holding another catch.
Another Cook bowling change was rewarded when Moeen returned to the attack and enticed Virat Kohli to poke through to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.
The successful shuffling of his bowlers rounded off another good day for the England skipper, who, buoyed by his first-innings 95, batted with great freedom to anchor his side's second innings.
He had earlier decided not to enforce the follow-on, despite wrapping up India's first innings inside 20 minutes.
The tourists, resuming on 323-8, added only seven more runs as Anderson, on his 32nd birthday, produced two bouncers that Mahendra Dhoni and Mohammed Shami in turn gloved to Buttler, giving the paceman his 16th five-wicket haul in Tests.
If there were concerns among onlookers that England might linger over their second innings and delay their declaration too long, they were soon allayed by a scoring rate that rattled along at more than five an over.
Only Sam Robson, who edged a wonderful delivery from Bhuvneshwar Kumar to first slip, failed to contribute as Gary Ballance, Ian Bell and Root played lively cameos around Cook.
Ballance was fluent for his 38 before wrongly been given out caught at short leg off Ravindra Jadeja, the second poor decision the left-hander has received in the match.
Bell busily reached 23 from 21 balls before being bowled sweeping Jadeja, while Root thrilled with his invention on the way to the fastest half-century of his Test career.
All the while, Cook repeatedly swept the spinners as he posted a second fifty in a single Test match for the first time in three years.
If Cook's poor form and a winless run of 10 Tests were the two major problems facing England before this match, one has been addressed and the other is six wickets away from being ended.
