WINVINCIBLES

England ace Jacks is king as Oval claim the glory for third time in row

- BY GARY FITZGERALD

WILL Jacks lit up Lord's with his batting firecrackers as the Oval Invincibles blew Trent Rockets away to be Hundred champions for the third time in a row.

The explosive England star was red-hot with the bat, thrashing a rapid 72 before spin duo Nathan Sowter (3-25) and Adam Zampa (1-21) sent Rockets spiralling to a 26-run defeat.

Jacks and Jordan Cox (40) laid the foundations for victory in this final with Invincibles setting their rivals 169 for victory.

Rockets needed England star Joe Root to fire but he made just a scratchy 10 in his side's response.
