Amla's double ton puts South Africa in driver's seat

NAGPUR: Indian bowlers toiled without much success as South Africa rode on Hashim Amla's maiden double century to tighten their grip over the first Test on Sunday.

Amla (253 not out) lit up the second day's proceedings with his unbeaten marathon double century -- a product of more than 11 hours of ceaseless vigil -- even though the co-star of his 340-run partnership Jacques Kallis (173) missed the mark.
