Dexter back for Kent

Neil Dexter goes straight into the Kent side after returning from his loan at Essex

Neil Dexter will go straight into the Kent side to face Hampshire in LV County Championship Division One after completing his loan period with Essex.

Dexter replaces Darren Stevens at the St Lawrence Ground as Stevens is still troubled by the injury that threatened to keep him out of the Twenty20 Cup finals at the Rose Bowl last week.

The one other change from the team that took to the field on Saturday sees Robbie Joseph come in for Simon Cook. 12th man is Matt Coles.

Hampshire are set to stick with Chris Benham after he returned to the starting XI with two half-centuries against Lancashire.

Michael Carberry could come back in after Sean Ervine struggled in his new role opening the batting, with James Adams also pressing for a recall as Michael Lumb and John Crawley struggle for form.

Imran Tahir will be hoping to buid on his impressive debut after match figures of 12-189 at Old Trafford.

Spinner Liam Dawson could come into contention after scoring a century and taking four economical wickets for England Under-19s against New Zealand.
