[12thMan]

Gayle runout. unlucky there

17.4 Johnson to Marshall, OUT, Gayle is run out. Oh what a way to go.Marshall had driven a fullish delivery back down the track and the lunging Johnson had got a hand on it and it went on to break the stumps and Gayle couldn't get back into the crease in time. He was in murderous mood but has to go back to the hutch.
CH Gayle run out 53 (54b 5x4 3x6) SR: 98.14

WI 87-1
