India begin the second day of the third Test at Trent Bridge on 307 for six in their first innings.
India captain Virat Kohli hit 97, with Ajinkya Rahane adding 81 as the tourists recovered from a difficult start on Saturday.
Ben Stokes endured a slow start to his Test comeback but left his England team-mates in no doubt he will be ready to make an impact when his chance comes.
Chris Woakes reported his fellow all-rounder was his usual self at Trent Bridge on the hosts’ occasionally frustrating first day.
There were three early wickets for Woakes, none for Stokes but an important catch at first slip for the returning resident match-winner when India captain Kohli fell for 97 – edging a drive at an Adil Rashid leg-break.
Asked about Stokes’ demeanour in his first match since being acquitted of affray at Bristol Crown Court just four days ago, Woakes said: ‘There was no real difference in Ben.
‘He’s the same as he always is – obviously desperate to do well, desperate to perform for England.
‘Today probably didn’t go as well as he’d have liked … he’d have liked to pick up a couple of wickets, but that’s the game.’
Woakes was Stokes’ replacement at Lord’s last week, and responded with a man-of-the-match display – and it was therefore Sam Curran who had to drop out of a winning team here.
