India's batting woes continued as they were left reeling at 174/6 in reply to England's 332 in the first innings, at stumps on Day 2 of the fifth and final test match here on Saturday.
At the crease were debutant Hanuma Vihari (25 batting) and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja (batting 8).
James Anderson (2/20) and Ben Stokes (2/44) were the pick of the bowlers for the hosts who have already won the series 3-1. Indian skipper Virat Kohli was the top-scorer for the hosts with a defiant 49 before Stokes got his back.
Earlier, Jos Buttler (89) helped England post 332 despite a middle-order collapse on Day 1.
