Same base for category and post

I’d like to have the following:

Single Post test.com/blog/new-category/post-name/

Category test.com/blog/new-category/

So I changed the Permalink structure to: /blog/%category%/%postname%/ and the category base to blog. But this gives me a 404 on the post.

So I tried blog/. for the category base, which works. But only for the first page. On the second page it gives me a 404 for test.com/blog/new-category/page/2/.

I guess WP is looking for a post with the slug page/2/.

Does anybody had a similar problem and may know a solution?

Thanks!
