AUSTRALIAN Phil Jaques slept for two nights with his score on 86 before reaching three figures for Northnats against Worcestershire at New Road.
A nudge to mid-wicket raised his hundred from 171 balls, and when the rain made a terminal re-turn on Saturday lunch-time, he had scored a century in boundaries -- 24 fours and a six in his side's first innings 312-5.
Jaques dominated everything else in a match hit by the loss of 254 overs.
The main support came from David Sales, with 33 in a stand of 108, before paceman Kabir Ali flattened his middle stump and Worcestershire failed to add to their bonus points despite a further wicket for Gareth Batty.
The New Road off-spinner quickly spotted Gerard Brophy's charge and fired the ball through for a stumping by Steve Rhodes.
