Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) MS Dhoni, India captain:

(On if he would have preferred to have been tested by England in the series)

"We were not tested because our fast bowlers bowled well initially. When they didn't our spin bowlers took the initiative. So on and off it was good. Batting we have kept improving from the first game which I feel is important. Testing is something that is good, but you don't always want to be tested. You want to win games easily because that's what really matters. You don't want to hang on to the 49th or 50th over."

SOUNDBITE (English) MS Dhoni, India captain:

(On how they turned things around from the test series)

"We stuck to the basics and also we were quite focused on the present because we had a tough time in the test series. The change of format also helps because this format pushes you to be expressive on the field. At the same time it pushes you to back yourself and play your shots."
