Bell: 'Third Test win just the start'

Ian Bell has urged England to repeat their third Test performance against India in the remaining two matches as they pursue a first series triumph in four.

England beat the tourists by 266 runs at the Ageas Bowl to end a winless run of nine Tests and level the series at one apiece ahead of next week's match at Old Trafford.

Bell has insisted that this is just the start of a return to form as they look to build some winning momentum.

"It was a start for us all. It was a really good five days but that is all that it is," Bell told Sky Sports News. "The next Test match we have to start all over again and do it again."

The middle-order batsman made a first-innings century in Southampton to help England to victory.
