England will be aiming to end their tour of India on a high as they prepare for the fifth and final Test this week. 

Ben Stokes’ side have already lost the series after tasting defeat for the third straight Test last month to go 3-1 down. 

The visitors are only going to be playing for pride in Dharamsala, being beaten in a series for the first time with Stokes as captain. 

Brendon McCullum won’t want to see his squad admit defeat though, and they will be aiming to come out on top in the final Test.
