Rahul batted the day out as England struggled to get his wicket. His opening partner, Rohit Sharma, however, missed out on what would have been a well-deserved century, dismissed for 83 by pacer James Anderson.
A free-flowing Rohit thrashed the England bowlers around the start of play and had a 126-run opening partnership with Rahul.
At the end of the day's play, Rahul was unbeaten on 127. At stumps on Day 1, India were 276-3.
This was Rahul's sixth century in 38 Tests.
