Dravid and Yuvraj were batting on 83 and 43 respectively at the break.
Dravid and Yuvraj revived Indian innings after losing Sachin Tendulkar and Suresh Raina quickly after lunch on Day 2.
Dravid and Yuvraj, who is playing his first Test in England, shared an unbeaten 50 runs fifth wicket stand to bring back Indian campaign on Day 2.
England bounced back strongly in the second session as they removed Sachin and Raina to reduce India to 139/4 in 50.3 overs.
Raina could not continue his good form and managed to score only 12 runs before became the victim of James Anderson.
On the other hand Rahul Dravid carried his good touch, who reached his 61st Test fifty, as he held the one end with consummate ease.
Sachin Tendulkar again failed to capitalise his good start and was again left stranded on 99 international hundreds, when he was dismissed for 16, after he top-edged a cut off Stuart Broad to England captain Andrew Strauss at first slip.
Earlier, England took the lone wicket of VVS Laxman in the morning session as India reached 117 for two at lunch on Day 2.
Rahul Dravid was 44 not out after surviving a painful blow on his right arm while Sachin Tendulkar was unbeaten on 14, again seeking his 100th international century.
England were bowled out for 221 on Friday. Laxman edged Tim Bresnan to wicketkeeper Matt Prior when he was on 54.
With less cloud overhead and with the sun shining, India exploited good batting conditions, unlike day one when the ball swung prodigiously.
There were 19 boundaries in the morning session and four consecutively in one early sequence that summed up their intent.
Laxman drove James Anderson through cover point twice and Dravid clipped a Stuart Broad delivery through square leg before driving him square on the off side.
England thought they had Laxman caught behind when he was on 27 but umpire Asad Rauf gave him not out.
The home team used up their second permitted video review but replays showed no evidence of an edge.
England lead the four-match series 1-0.
