Gayle clubbed 11 sixes and seven fours in an electrifying 91-ball 123. The 38-year-old was in sparkling form and made the ball disappear to all parts of the park at his leisure on a bright and sunny morning in front of 250-odd spectators.

He reached his half-century from 47 balls with five fours and three sixes, while his next 50 runs came from 32 balls with two fours and five sixes.
