The Standard Bank Proteas will be looking to correct the ‘mistakes’ from the previous match in the second One-Day International (ODI) against England at the Ageas Bowl on Saturday. The Proteas face a must-win situation following the 72-run loss on Wednesday, which Faf du Plessis has described as disappointing and below par for a team with high standards and expectations. Du Plessis says the opening match was an opportunity to dust off any early-season cobwebs, and expects an improved performance in the bid to keep the series alive.The Proteas have a good record at the Southampton ground, which houses the record for the highest South African ODI score against England; 150 off 124 balls scored by Hashim Amla in 2012. South Africa is unbeaten at the venue with two wins from two matches - a seven-wicket win against Zimbabwe in the tri-series in 2003 and an 80-run win against the hosts in 2012.
