Although Northants are currently without a win and are at the bottom of Division One of the CricInfo Championship, Somerset coach Kevin Shine is not underestimating their capability - particularly at Wantage Road.

The Northampton wicket has a reputation for turning and the home side regularly features two spinners, Graeme Swann and Jason Brown in their line up.

With this in mind the coach has named both Blackwell and Dutch in the squad of 12 which also includes Matthew Wood who made such an impression on his debut at Bath last week.

The full squad for the trip to Northampton is: Holloway, Bowler, Burns, Lathwell, Wood, Trego, Turner, Blackwell, Dutch, Kerr, Johnson, and Steffan Jones.
