Gayle etched his name in history when he became just the fourth batsman after Bradman, Lara and Sehwag to make two 300-plus scores in Tests.
Chris Gayle was the hero on day 2 as well scoring 333 runs and really helping West Indies put up a big total on the board.

That's stumps on day 2 of the first Test. The final session by far was the most enthralling one with wickets tumbling for West Indies.
The visitors did well today though raking up a score of 580/9 before they finally declared. Sri Lanka did well to restrict the visitors to a score below 600 and did they it courtesy the magic of Ajatnha Mendis. Both sides will be happy with the day's progress.
Sri Lanka finished the day at 54/1 and will want to continue their solid start tomorrow. So tomorrow should make for an interesting 3rd day of Test cricket where both sides will be looking to get their nose ahead.
Do join for the 3rd day's action tomorrow at 1000 IST (0430 GMT).
