Moeen Ali all set to play in England's first day-night Test

Edgbaston, August 16: England all-rounder Moeen Ali is said that it will take more than a pink ball to put him off his stride during England's inaugural day/night Test. '

Ali was England's man-of-the-series after starring with both bat and ball during the recent 3-1 Test triumph at home against South Africa.

The Birmingham-born Ali returns to the city's Edgbaston ground, where he came through the youth ranks with Warwickshire, for what will also be England's first taste of floodlit Test cricket in a series opener against the West Indies starting on Thursday (August 17).

"It's different... it feels lighter off the bat. Sometimes you don't feel like you've hit it, and it goes; other times you've nailed it, and it doesn't," he said at an event by series sponsors Investec. "But you get used to it ... I did by the end of the (net) session."

As for bowling with a pink ball, the 30-year-old Ali, who against South Africa became the first man to take 25 wickets in a four-Test series, said: "The seam is good -- it's not quite as slippery. It spun, maybe because the seam is hard. "Seeing it is fine. It will be interesting at twilight, but I will try not to think about it."
