On jacks

England's exciting off-spinning all-rounder Will Jacks could be on the selectors' radar for the Test series against Pakistan in December following his impressive showing in the ongoing T20I series in Karachi and Lahore.

Coming in to open the batting with Phil Salt in the third T20I at Karachi on September 23, Jacks scored a 22-ball 40 as he gave England the start they needed, with Ben Duckett (70 not out) and Harry Brook (81 not out) showing their batting prowess down the order as the visitors amassed a mammoth 221/3 in 20 over. England, riding on the fine performance of the three batters thrashed Pakistan by 63 runs on September 23.
