Aaron Finch has tuned up for the upcoming Australian summer by hitting 117 not out off only 52 balls while playing for Surrey in England's domestic T20 competition.

Australian T20 captain Finch reached his 50 in just 16 balls as Surrey made a victory target of 222 to beat Middlesex by nine wickets at The Oval.

In all, Finch hit eight sixes and 11 fours in his sixth T20 hundred, and second of this English domestic T20 season.

Fellow Australian Nic Maddinson then came in to keep Finch company until the win was completed, swinging bowler Tom Barber for a six of his own high over midwicket in his unbeaten 13.

Meanwhile, Australia's Marcus Stoinis spearheaded Kent's attack as they bowled Hampshire out for 88 in another English domestic T20 encounter.

Stoinis ended with figures of 4-17 and also scored 26 with the bat in the 51-run thrashing.
