South Africa's Hashim Amla has continued his superb run of form in the 2nd Test Match against India in Kolkatta, the middle order batsman scored a career best 258 in the 1st Test Match which South Africa went on to win by an innings and 6 runs.
Amla then backed up that performance by scoring a century in the 1st innings of this Test Match, and he has now become the 1st South African to score a hundred in each innings, in a Test Match in India.
South Africa still appear to be heading for a defeat in this match but as long as Amla is out in the middle they will have the belief that they can escape with a draw and win the series.
Should India complete the job and win the match they will hold on to their number 1 ranking, however if South Africa manage to win the series then Graeme Smith's men will regain the number 1 Test Match ranking.
