England can seal the series with a win in the fourth game in Ahmedabad and Wood said it would be a "brilliant achievement".

"It can give us huge confidence going into the English summer and the World Cup being here."

The 31-year-old, who missed the second game because of a bruised heel, said he has been using the tour to find out more about the Indian conditions he could face in the World Cup in October.

"I'm watching their bowlers. I played with Shardul Thakur at Chennai and he's got a new slower ball," said Wood.

"I'm looking at that and how well that's worked – is that something I could try and adapt to my game."

Wood said he was also trying to improve his yorker.

"There are always things to improve on, these are the conditions we're going to come up against in the World Cup so it's about trying to get the right skills in place to adapt on any given surface."
