Hashim Amla says South Africa are preparing for "three finals" as they bid to turn around the one-day series against England.
The Proteas are 2-0 down in the five-match series ahead of Tuesday's encounter at Centurion and Amla refused to contemplate the possibility of falling 3-0 behind.
"We're not thinking about that (losing the series). We're out to win tomorrow, get some momentum for the next one and then hope to win in Cape Town as well.
"Everything starts tomorrow. It's a massive motivating factor. We've got three finals in a row, and tomorrow is the first one we have to knock off."
Amla believes the five-wicket defeat at Port Elizabeth on Saturday offered some hope for the hosts, but conceded South Africa do not have the batting depth of England.
"I think in that last game we were pretty close," he added. "We played some good cricket at times and it was a bit of an improvement from the first game, although even there we were still in with a shout.
"I hope we can put it all together at once, consecutively in three matches.
"They bat very deep, and I think that allows the English team to attack throughout the game.
"Because they bat to number 10, they have a bit of a cushion to keep going. I think Adil Rashid is batting 10, and he's got first-class hundreds galore.
"It's a really fortunate position that England are in. It is very important for us that, with our seven batters, we score the runs - and don't leave it for eight to 11."
