Shane Watson has claimed that England's tactic of employing five specialist bowlers in one-day cricket could be an advantage for his team during this summer's series.
The Australian vice-captain believes that the hosts' tail could be exposed earlier if Alastair Cook's team play with five bowlers.
Watson said: "For England to be able to go in with four frontline quick bowlers is a very good thing for them against our batting lineup, but I suppose playing for out-and-out quick bowlers and one main spinner as well means if we're able to make inroads into their batting lineup early it means they might be one batsman short.
"That's something that we see as very important for us to have success here, to try to make early inroads."
The ODI series begins at Lord's on Friday.
