It was a special comeback for seamer Chris Woakes in London as he ended with 4/55 in the first innings. Complementing him was fellow pacer Ollie Robinson with figures to 3/38. India lost openers Rohit Sharma (11) and KL Rahul (17) early on, and it was Kohli who got a partnership of sorts going with Ravindra Jadeja.
The middle-order saw another collapse before Thakur infused some life into the innings with a quickfire 57 off 36 balls. India managed a paltry191, but bounced back admirably with the ball.
Jasprit Bumrah struck twice, dismissing openers Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed. Umesh Yadav, playing his first game of the series, sent the in-form Joe Root packing as England were left reeling at 53 for 3.
