(Reuters) - England's cricketers admit they will be taking a leap in the dark when the country hosts its first day-night test, with a pink ball, against the West Indies this week.

Few England players have any experience with the ball, which will be the centre of attention when the first test gets under way at 1300 GMT at Edgbaston on Thursday.
