PIETERSEN BLASTING CENTURY FOR SURREY

KEVIN PIETERSEN roared back to form by blazing a century for Surrey on Saturday.

The axed England batsman put the fact he has been charged for his foul-mouthed Twitter rant behind him with his most fluent innings for some time.

As he's been dropped from the one-day internationals with Pakistan, KP was able to come in at number three in the clash with Sussex to wow the Hove crowd.

A single off Yasir Arafat ended a seven-year wait for a domestic one-day ton and he went on to smash 116 from 105 balls in the tied 40-over match.

James Kirtley eventually clean bowled Pietersen after eight fours and six sixes to spark his own celebrations as the paceman is due to retire knowing he has a prize scalp to enjoy.
