Ollie Pope also starred with the bat as he hit an astonishing 196 runs in his second innings to give England a chance.
But India were still favourites as they returned to the crease needing just 231 runs to win.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja had all scored big to help India to a total of 436 in their first innings – but they all failed to replicate those knocks second time around.
Hartley took the wicket of Jaiswal before getting Shubman Gill out for a duck.
Jack Leach and Joe Root also took a wicket each while captain Ben Stokes ran out Jadeja with a genius piece of fielding.
