England will need to make 371 runs for victory in a little over three sessions to win the series opener.
Resuming the day on 90 for two, India lost skipper Shubman Gill early but the duo of Rahul and Pant added 195 runs for the fourth wicket to put India in a position of strength at Headingley.
However, both batters got out in their quest to add some quick runs to the tally and set England a stiff target in the fourth innings.
Opener Rahul made 137 in 247 balls, while Pant became only the second wicketkeeper in the game's history to score hundreds in both innings of a Test match en route to his 118 off 140 balls, an innings that was studded with 15 fours and three sixes.
Rahul hit 18 fours during his stay in the middle.
