But the dismissal of Dhawan, who was caught behind by Buttler off the bowling of Chris Woakes, triggered the collapse.
Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina both perished cheaply trying to take on the off-spin of Moeen Ali.
Rahane lost another partner when Ambati Rayudu edged behind, handing Stuart Broad his first wicket of the series.
The powerplay saw India lose further ground, with only 23 runs scored for the loss of Rahane and Stuart Binny.
Finn accounted for both, dismissing Rahane caught behind and Binny courtesy of an outstanding slip catch by Ian Bell.
MS Dhoni fell - undone by a ball that kept low from James Anderson, five balls after being hit on the helmet by the seamer - India looked unlikely to make it to 200.
However, some lusty hitting from Mohammed Shami saw 35 runs added for the last wicket.
Chris Woakes eventually ended the innings with 11 balls remaining, but not before Shami had made the second-highest score by an India number 11 against England.

 James Taylor made his fourth fifty in eight matches since being recalled to England's ODI Squad
