Bloemfontein - In a great display of international netball the Proteas went head to head against world number 3 England yesterday.
Despite putting in a strong effort and leading in the early stages of the game, the English side proved too strong for the South Africans and ended the game with a 49-39 win.
It was the second quarter that let the Proteas down, as the match got a bit scrappy from both sides.
South African shooters missed a number of shots at goal, which gave the England side the gap to run away with the lead.
The South African defence was as strong as ever, but the attack lacked accuracy into the goal circle and completing the shot.
Following the match, coach Elize Kotze said they should have made better use of their opportunities which were on offer.
England play the world's eighth seeded team, Trinidad & Tobago at 17:30 this evening.
