Gayle welcomes Warner to his 'club'
One of the best knocks that Chris Gayle has played, is his innings against Sri Lanka at Galle, where he put up a spectacular show as he scored mammoth 333 runs in 437 balls and remained unbeaten with nine sixes and 34 fours coming off his bat.

Aussies dominate Pakistan
Australia's pace spearheaded Mitchell Starc wreaked havoc on the Pakistan batting line-up as the visitors were reduced to 96-6 at the end of the day's play. Australia declared their innings after posting a mammoth total of 589 runs, thanks to David Warner's maiden Test triple ton. Mitchell Starc was right on the money and struck gold in the fourth over as he got rid of Imam-ul-Haq. Starc then picked up two wickets off the 31st over to send Ifthikar Ahmed and Rizwan packing. Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood grabbed one wicket each as Pakistan ended Day 2 on a very dry note, with just four wickets left.
