What an innings by Will Jacks. England players looking good right now in the IPL.

Think he got his 50 up in 31 balls, which is a pretty decent strike rate, but got his hundred off 41 balls! That's some acceleration that!!

He looked scratchy to begin with and wasn’t picking the spin very well then went wild. He smashed Rashid Kahn in the final over who I think is probably the best leg spinner in the world in this format.
Didn’t realise he was such a big hitter tbh.

I guess it has at least 2 weeks to go. Just checked and final is on the 26th May and the World Cup starts 1st June

Cheers, found the fixtures.

How come Jimmy Anderson isn't getting a game? Would be useful in these swinging conditions.
