Graeme Hick moved ahead of WG Grace and into the top 10 all-time century makers on Thursday as he hit 176 for Worcestershire to record his 127th first-class ton.

The Zimbabwe-born former England batsman smashed eight sixes and 20 fours off 231 balls in a Worcestershire all-out total of 306

Hick, 39 next month, is one century behind his former England captain Graham Gooch and two behind Len Hutton.

Englishman Jack Hobbs is the all-time leader with 197 centuries.
