Ian Bell has come out with an approach of looking for the four-ball Paul Collingwood

England captain Paul Collingwood praised his team's dedication after they crushed India in the one-day series decider at Lord's on Saturday.

Collingwood said: "We've done well against a very good India side. Our approach, our dedication has been there and the effort has been fantastic."

He said the challenge was to take the same form into the ICC World Twenty20.

"It's a massive tournament but we will continue in the same vein. There are a lot of positive vibes around the camp."

Collingwood said the tone of the deciding match had been set by the first delivery, when Indian opener Sourav Ganguly was surprised by a short ball from James Anderson and almost spooned a catch.

Electing to bat first, India made just 187, a total England knocked off with more than 13 overs to spare and with seven wickets in hand.

Collingwood said: "Jimmy [Anderson] and Stuart [Broad] have really come together as a new-ball partnership and then when you have Freddie [Flintoff] coming on first change it puts them under the pump.

"Ian Bell has come out with an approach of looking for the four-ball, not going out there nudging and nurdling.

"For a number three to play like he has, he has really come on leaps and bounds.

"There are so many positives - the amount of hundreds we've scored and the batting in depth - we have batters who can come in at number eight and smash 30 off the last over."

Bell, man of the series for his 422 runs at an average of 70.33, said: "The consistency has been there this series and that's what I've been working for.

"In the past I've put in a couple of good performances and not gone on.

"But I'm enjoying it now - a bit more intent through those middle overs.

"I want to have boundary options against the spinners and rotate the strike with the big hitters in the team."

Kevin Pietersen was man of the match on Saturday after hitting an unbeaten 71 to end a run of disappointing scores.

He said: "It means a heck of a lot to me. I was very disappointed and down in the dumps for a while after the last game [India winning a thriller at The Oval] but now I am a very happy man."

Pietersen said a recent adjustment to his technique had paid dividends.

"A couple of days ago I realised I wasn't moving my feet," he said.
