Zimbabwe 289 all out against the West Indies. Gayle took 2 wickets to add to his double century.
Next up is Ireland v United Arab Emirates. England's next match is against Sri Lanka at the weekend.
Ridiculous number of sixes Gayle hit.
Crumbs
.
His second hundred came in 33 balls

The luck has deserted the Irish in their match today against the UAE.
They had the UAE at 131-6. But then UAE middle order batsman, Anwar hit 106 off 83 balls, mostly off every edge of his bat.
Ireland's death bowling was very ragid and the fielding poor.
UAE scored 278-9 in their 50 overs
extraordinary bit of luck for ed joyce. the ball went through the stumps hitting them on the way but the bails managed to stay on! they even lit up they were hit with that much force.
also love the fact that 'the fields of athenry' will do the irish for any sporting occasions!
To quote the commentator, it was 'The game of the tornement'
Ireland won with 4 balls and 2 wickets to spare.
I've never seen so many scrambled singles.
Great game.UAE could have won it with more accuracy throwing to the stumps
In terms of a watchability it was a cracking game in terms of skill level it was a poor game on so many levels.
Possibility of another good match tonight
Scotland v Afganistan
Afganistan won the toss and chose to field.
After 1 over, Scotland are 1-0
Afganistan were cruising to an easy victory. Then Scotland came back big style.
Then Afganistan made a come back...
And they ended up winning with 1 wicket and 3 balls left to record their 1st ever World Cup win.
Scotland had their chances to win it but missed an easy run out in the last over.
18th match of the World Cup
