The three-Test series starts on Wednesday in Southampton behind closed doors.
LONDON - West Indies great Brian Lara says the Caribbean side must try and beat "overwhelming favourites" England in four days because their batting is not strong enough to last five days.
Jason Holder’s tourists boast a powerful pace attack but their batsmen have struggled to post challenging totals in recent years. Lara, who scored a record 11,953 runs for West Indies in 131 Tests, said it was vital the tourists adapted to English conditions quickly."I don’t think they can last five days, so they have to take these games in four days. They have to establish a lead and keep it."
