Rohit Sharma, who was playing his Test of the series, failed to make an impact. He fell for 28 as India lost half their side for just 210 runs.

Ajinkya Rahane, who has been in exceptional form away from home, notched up his third half-century to hold India's faltering innings together.

Ravindra Jadeja and Dhoni added 58 runs for the seventh wicket but Anderson trapped the former in front of his stumps to halt another potential match-saving partnership. Jadeja fell for 31.
