While he continued going hammer and tongs, Jacks later admitted that he thought about a hundred only after reaching 98 off 22 balls.

“People were just chatting that 120-130 was an average score so I just wanted to try and have fun, that was it,” Jacks told Surrey’s official Twitter handle.

“I didn’t even think about the 100 until I was on 98” 😂

“I didn’t even think about the 100 until I was on 98,” Jacks added.

Jacks was recently a part of the England Lions’ squad which played against Board President XI.
