Hampshire will look to get their promotion bid back on target in their match against Nottinghamshire in the CricInfo Championship at the Rose Bowl.

Robin Smith's side were well beaten in their last venture against neighbours Sussex.

Hampshire have named a 12-man squad for the game although there is a slight doubt over Shaun Udal, who has a minor groin strain. Lawrence Prittipaul is back in the side after being left out in the Sussex defeat.

Nottinghamshire coach Clive Rice admits he has been looking forward to the game against Hampshire for some time. "They are a much improved side from their last seasons problems", says Rice, "We need a victory to keep us in touch with the leading sides".

Usman Afzaal is at Lord's on England duty but could still play if released ahead of the second Test.

Hampshire 12: Giles White, Derek Kenway, Will Kendall, Robin Smith (captain), Neil Johnson, Lawrence Prittipaul, Adi Aymes (wicket-keeper), Dimitri Mascarenhas, Shaun Udal, Alex Morris, Alan Mullally, Chris Tremlett.

Nottinghamshire 12: Darren Bicknell (captain), John Morris, Greg Blewett, Paul Johnson, Kevin Pietersen, Bilal Shafayat, Chris Read (wicket-keeper), Richard Logan, Greg Smith, Adrew Harris, Richard Stemp, David Lucas.
