Alex Hales was England's standout player on day four of the third Test, hitting a career-best 94, helping England to a 330-run lead heading into the final day at Lord's.
The Nottnghamshire batsman continued his excellent recent form in a series where he has scored 292 runs at an average of 58.40, including three scores over 50.
"I'm really pleased I think I would have taken that particularly after the tour to South Africa where it didn't quite go exactly to plan," Hales told Sky Sports.
"I had a tough time of it in a country where it is pretty hard to open the batting anyway. I learnt a lot from that tour but this has hopefully given me something to build on for the rest of the summer.
"The biggest thing I learnt from South Africa is not having any preconceived ideas of how to play.
"At the top of the order, sometimes you can get off to a good start but other times it can be tough and you have to adapt.
"Now I'm not necessarily looking at tempo at the start of the innings."
The 27-year-old also discussed how he has modified his game to suit the longer form of the game and detailed where he thinks he has improved.
