This knock by the batsman enabled the team to post 176 runs on the board and the score proved too much for Lancashire as they lost the match by 95 runs.
The batsman said that he was looking to play shots from the first ball.
"From the first ball I just tried to play my shots, after the first few overs my intention was to try and hit every ball for six, and I think after four sixes I thought, "I could hit six sixes here". I had never done it before and it was nice to do that and something I will cherish," International Cricket Council quoted Jacks as saying.
