Although he went on to hammer a crucial 51 from just 31 balls in the Steelbacks' 171 for six, the injury meant he was unable to keep wicket in the Somerset innings, with Ricardo Vasconcelos deputising behind the stumps. Tuesday's showdown with the Bears is followed by a trip to Edgbaston to take on Glamorgan in front of the Sky Sports TV cameras on Thursday, and Ripley said: "We are a bit concerned about Adam's finger. "Maybe the break we have with the four-day game (Northants play Gloucestershire in their final Bob Willis Trophy on Sunday) might come at a good time to help him get ready if it continues to be sore. If Rossington doesn't make it to face the Bears, Vasconcelos would step into the wicket-keeper/batsman breach, and it could be that Rossington is played purely as a batsman, with one of the all-rounders dropping out. The match at the County Ground on Tuesday starts at 6.30pm.
