England captain Ben Stokes claims they have "massively evolved" since the Ashes and dismisses any step backwards after the series defeat against India. Despite winning the first Test in Hyderabad, the visitors have conceded the series after three consecutive defeats. Rohit Sharma and his troops lead the series 3-1 as we prepare for the final Test in Dharamshala. The individuals and the team have massively evolved on this tour," Ben Stokes said. "Progression doesn't always show itself with the results. It doesn't mean that we've gone backwards. "I think the way in which everyone committed to becoming a better version of themselves from when we last played was quite obvious; everyone's fitter, everyone was - I don't want to say more desire - but it was just a really different feel around how we operated from the summer before. "When you know that you're part of something special, you want to work your nuts off to keep your place in the team. "We've been on so many India tours, you know what it's like when you get to an end of a long one that sometimes you start thinking about the end of the game, whereas honestly, I don't think that anyone is thinking like that because every opportunity we feel at the moment is special to play for England." Jonny Bairstow is set to play his 100th Test in Dharamshala. The England batter has been going through a lean patch in this series, but is likely to keep his place. The 34-year-old has only scored 170 runs at an average of 21.25, without even scoring a half-century across eight innings. "I'm super excited for him and he's been quite chipper the last couple of days," Stokes said.
