Hampshire aim to be unchanged for their first visit to the picturesque Recreation Ground at Bath in eleven years, where Somerset will play hosts for the Frizzell County Championship match, starting on Wednesday.

The only amendment to the side that held out against Warwickshire could be Jason Laney replacing Test hopeful John Crawley, if he receives the nod for his return to old pastures at Old Trafford.

Laney is on standby, while Robin Smith returns to lead the side after missing the previous two one-day encounters with an Achilles tendon injury.

On the injury front, Alex Morris and Adrian Aymes are expected to play a full part in the four-day second XI Championship match at the Rose Bowl against Essex, which was due to start on Tuesday, weather permitting.

Team: Derek Kenway, Will Kendall, John Crawley or Jason Laney, Robin Smith (capt), Neil Johnson, Giles White, Nic Pothas (w-k), Dimitri Mascarenhas, Shaun Udal, Chris Tremlett and Alan Mullally.
