Martin van Jaarsveld holds on to his number one spot in the county MVP, both overall and in the Friends Provident Trophy, after scoring his third century in seven one-day matches.

His 113 off 108 balls against Surrey at Canterbury helped Kent stay top of the South East division and means he has scored 480 runs off 465 balls in the competition and 704 runs overall.

Van Jaarsveld's county colleague Yasir Arafat occupies second spot overall, with the Pakistan all-rounder also ranked second in the Friends Provident MVP, after another six wickets across two matches this week.

He took 4-29 against Essex and 2-55 in the high scoring affair versus Surrey, which has taken his tally to 19 wickets in the Friends Provident Trophy and 29 in all cricket.

After two weeks spent playing against New Zealand, Ravi Bopara got his points moving again with an unbeaten 85 in Essex's win against the Middlesex Crusaders.

Bopara is still ranked eighth in the LV County Championship despite only having played two games, and fourth in the Friends Provident Trophy. He occupies third spot overall having amassed a total of 584 runs, claimed 11 wickets and taken four catches.

Former England one-day all-rounder Tim Bresnan is doing his chances of a recall no harm by bouncing back into the top ten this week.

The Yorkshireman returned figures of 4-73 and 2-58 against Durham as well as contributing 78 runs in the match.

In the Friends Provident match against Scotland he racked up further bowling points with a miserly spell of 1-27 from his ten overs.

Somerset's Peter Trego is also a new entry into the top ten this week and is the third England-qualified all-rounder on the list.

The 26-year-old is making an impression in the MVP again this year, thanks to a quickfire 41 off 40 balls and 3-49 against county champions Sussex in the LVCC and 31 and 3-37 against Worcestershire in the Friends Provident Trophy.
