England seamer Brydon Carse insisted their win over India at Lord's was "very satisfying" despite their different approach.
The hosts won by 22 runs on the final day of the third Test to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
Carse scored an important half-century in England's first innings, which went along at a slower pace than expected. They scored 387 from 112.3 overs at a run rate of 3.44, which was not their typical 'Bazball' style.
Carse also removed Karun Nair and Shubman Gill late on day four to swing momentum in England's favour.
He explained why England were happy not just to win, but to do so while proving they can adapt.
"It was not the typical style of cricket that we would like to play, and it took some adjustment, but it shows this side can move forward and adapt to certain situations," said Carse at an event for Step One.
"We spoke a lot at the start of the series about how to get to that next level, about being a dominant Test team and the best Test team in the world.
"And as this game panned out, we showed that it's not always going to be one-minded or a certain style of cricket. So, it was very satisfying as a group.
"To be able to pick up a couple of wickets in that spell [on day four] and put the momentum back into our hands going into day five was incredibly satisfying.
"At times, over the course of the series so far, I feel like I've been bowling well and maybe haven't had as much luck as I would have liked, but that was certainly satisfying for me.
"Once we got off that field and walked through the Long Room, it was an incredible atmosphere … really loud. A couple of the guys who had played in the Ashes said that's the loudest they've ever heard the Long Room. It was a pretty special week."
England face India in the fourth Test of the series at Old Trafford, which begins on Wednesday.
