    Don't forget to give credit to Sam Northeast and Daniel Bell-Drummond for posting the score Somerset and Gayle could not quite reach!

    @ Nitin Kirit - Gayle and sixes took them to 3 runs closer.

    Its funny when it comes to T20 cricket nobody dpes it better than Chris Henry Gayle. One of the cricket writers was talking about how important it is for a team to have a Gayle when chasing a mammoth 220 odd runs...and he did not disappoint...well, almost.

    Gayle n running between the wkts to score the extra runs might have cost them the game.
