Pacer Stuart Broad took six wickets to put England in control after India were skittled out for 152 on the opening day of the fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester, on Thursday.
At stumps on Day 1, England were sitting pretty on 113 for three with Ian Bell unbeaten on 45, trailing India's score by just 39 runs.
Ruthlessly exploiting favourable conditions after India had won the toss, the pace duo of James Anderson and Broad obtained prodigious swing on an overcast morning to put England in control of the match inside two sessions, with the series level at 1-1.

The start of the match was delayed by half an hour due to overnight rain.
India made three changes from the side which lost the third test in Southampton, bringing in Gambhir, seamer Varun Aaron and spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. England named an unchanged team.

Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, surely ruing his decision to bat first, and Ajinkya Rahane stopped the rot with fighting fifth-wicket partnership of 54 as conditions for batting improved.
But Rahane was out for 24 just before the interval when he drove at a full wide ball from Jordan and Ian Bell took a regulation catch at second slip.
Dhoni, dropped by Jordan at fourth slip, was 25 not out at the lunch break with Jadeja yet to open his account.

He then bowled Pankaj Singh for another duck to complete superb figures of six for 25.
