WORCESTERSHIRE'S Vikram Solanki remains top of the Sky Sports Sixes League thanks to two maximums against Hampshire.
Solanki leads the league with seven, one six ahead of second-placed Martin van Jaarsveld, who continued his strong start to the season with three in Kent's triumph over Sussex at Canterbury.
Gloucestershire's Craig Spearman is one six further back in third place with five, while the remaining seven players in the top 10 have four each.
The Sky Sports Sixes League, sponsored by the Daily Express, ranks the top 10 batsmen that have hit the most sixes in Friends Provident, Twenty20 Cup and NatWest Pro40 matches.
It provides batsmen with another incentive for big-hitting with £2,000 and the Sixes trophy for the winner, plus awards for each month's big hitter.
Last year, Graeme Hick hit 28 sixes from 850 deliveries, finishing four maximums ahead of second-placed Luke Wright.
