Off-spinner Moeen Ali chipped with an useful spell of one for 31 in nine overs, while Broad and Woakes must consider themselves unlucky not to finish among the wickets.
India's batting was poor as all the batters gave their wickets away cheaply with some careless shots.
Binny (44) salvaged the situation in company of captain Dhoni (34) as the duo added 70 runs for the sixth wicket. Rahane played some cracking shots in his 40-ball 33 but he threw his wicket away with a reckless shot after getting set and after that the floodgates opened with wickets falling at regular intervals.
The England innings will resume in a few minutes and they will be itching to make a strong start in the new overs before the lunch break.
