That's another disappointing innings in this World Cup from Chris Gayle. You could hear the lack of timing through the effects microphone.

Gayle c Hasaranga b Binura 1 (WI 1-1)
Gone!
That's poor from Chris Gayle. He tries to go up and over the in field but he doesn't time the ball with any great conviction, instead toe-ending the ball straight to Hasaranga at mid-off. Not great.
Binura rattles the outside edge of Chris Gayle's bat first up.
Pace, in the form of Binura Fernando.

Keep an eye on Evin Lewis. Chris Gayle doesn't like the quick single anyway, so it might be a case of stand and deliver from both of them.
Target 190
Chris Gayle strolls a single to get West Indies under way, and that's all they can muster from the opening over.
Chris Gayle turns Maheesh Theekshana's first delivery into the leg side, and we're off.
West Indies need to go at 9.50 runs per over.
Here we go.

Here comes Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis.
Sri Lanka's Charith Asalanka: "I am very pleased with this performance by the team. Now we have to defend it. I think it is about par. We were talking about 170 but it's now 189. It's good.
"It's a good surface, a little slow, but good to bat on. I just tell the bowlers to bowl straight lines - don't give room to batsmen."
Cheers, Callum.
This will take some getting, frankly, from West Indies.
West Indies have a lot of power in their batting line-up so 190 is definitely not out of their reach.
Amy Lofthouse will take you through their chase.
West Indies are going to have bat very well to chase this total down. Remember they need to improve their net run-rate, alongside winning their two games, to progress so they could do with chasing 190 with time to spare.
They were a bit sloppy in the field at times.
Charith Asalanka looks like a proper player...

It's going to be a tough ask for West Indies but they have no choice but to go for it. If they lose, they are out of the tournament.
A couple of leg byes down to fine leg to finish.
West Indies will need 190 to win and stay in the World Cup.
A fifth yorker executed and Dasun Shanaka just shovels into the covers for a single.
Ravi Rampaul follows Dasun Shanaka but he manages to pick up two through mid-wicket.
A single for Chamika Karunaratne.
This is good from Ravi Rampaul.
