Will was 79 not out at the close of play and will be eyeing a maiden first-class century on Monday with his previous highest score being 60. After earning his first Aces contract for this summer, Will has thrived. He was the leading run-scorer in the Ford Trophy one-day competition, racking up 537 from 10 innings at 53.7, including a century and six fifties.
