Jacks' 150 puts Country Championship leaders Surrey in command vs Essex

A fantastic knock of 150 not out from Will Jacks turned the tide for LV= Insurance County Championship leaders Surrey in their clash with Essex. DIVISION ONE

Will Jacks' stunning 150 not out helped LV= Insurance County Championship leaders Surrey out of trouble and into a position of strength against Essex at the Kia Oval.

Surrey were 159 runs adrift of Essex after staggering to 112 for seven on day two and that precarious position might have been even worse had Alastair Cook held on to a slip chance with Jacks on nine.

Jacks capitalised on the drop, getting support from Tom Lawes (19) and Kemar Roach (29), and exploded into action when Surrey fell nine down, thumping Simon Harmer for two sixes en route to three figures.

Worse was to follow for Harmer as he conceded 23 in his next over, including three successive sixes, while Matt Critchley leaked 26 in five balls as Jacks went from 100 to 150 in just 16 deliveries.

Surrey were all out for 319 and a 48-run lead before Daniel Worrall, whose resistance for 17 balls allowed Jacks to excel, took centre stage himself. With six overs remaining in the day he followed up his first-innings six for 56 by removing Alastair Cook and Sam Cook as Essex closed on 19 for two.

Elsewhere in Division One, Yorkshire were left in the lurch by their former seamer Jack Brooks, whose three for 38 put Somerset in command at Taunton.

Tom Abell added just two to his overnight 114 but Lewis Gregory's 77 carried Somerset to 424 all out, with England spinner Dom Bess taking four wickets, but it was Brooks' impact which left Yorkshire wobbling.

Brooks, who played for Yorkshire from 2013-2018, snared captain Adam Lyth before accounting for the in-form Harry Brook and Matthew Revis from back-to-back
