The South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis has struck his third hundred in five cricket Tests, sharing a double century stand with Hashim Alma to put in control of the first Test against India at Nagpur.
Kallis's magnificent 159 in an unbroken 285 for the third wicket with Amla, who scored 115, helped the visitors reach 291 for two after winning the toss.
Left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan dismissed openers Ashwell Prince for nought and skipper Graeme Smith for six in successive overs to reduce the tourists to six for two before Kallis orchestrated the recovery with his 34th Test hundred.
Kallis, one of only eight batsmen to score over 10,000 Test runs, hit 13 fours and two sixes as he joined India's Sunil Gavaskar and West Indian Brian Lara in third place on the list of most Test centuries.
Only India's Sachin Tendulkar, who's scored 45, and Australian captain Ricky Ponting with 39 have scored more.
