England and Surrey all-rounder Will Jacks wreaked havoc in Vitality T20 Blast match against Middlesex on June 22, Thursday. The 24-year-old emulated KKR batter Rinku Singh’s IPL heroics as he smashed five consecutive sixes off Middlesex leg-spinner Luke Hollman.
The England all-rounder, who opened the inning for his side reached his half-century in the ninth over of the inning. Who would know what was next as the batter smashed consecutive sixes in the 11th over off Hollman. On the first delivery of the 11th over, Jacks pulled it massively over deep mid-wicket. He followed the next full outside off for another six. He continued to throttle as he completed a hattrick of sixes on the next delivery over outside off. The next two came over deep extra cover and over long on region.

Talking of the match, Middlesex invited the Chris Jordan-led side to bat first. Surrey posted 252/7 in the 20 overs, courtesy brilliant half-centuries from the Surrey openers in Will Jacks (96) and Laurie Evans (85). But an all-round effort from the Stephen Eskinazi-led side and a captain’s knock of 73 off 39 deliveries helped the side win the match by seven wickets.
