Graeme Swann believes that England's 2-1 lead in the Test series against India is "magnificent" but insists that the fourth and final battle needs to be won.

England spinner Graeme Swann has claimed that he feels 'proud' to have clinched two crucial Test victories over India.

The visitors have taken full control of the series with one Test left to go and while Swann has branded England's 2-1 lead as "magnificent", he has insisted that his team must wrap up the series in Nagpur.

"I think it's very difficult to quantify just how good they were, I mean they've been magnificent wins away from home, they've certainly not been my two favourite wins because you tend to save those for the ones against the Baggy Green team but you know they've been good wins," Swann told BBC Sport.

"To lose the toss and go on to win the games so convincingly has been very encouraging and when my career finishes I'm sure I'll look back with a great deal of pride on how we won those games but I won't be looking back with as much pride if we don't finish the job off this week."

The fourth and final Test gets underway on Thursday.
