South Africa is trending in the news because of coverage of its match against New Zealand and discussion about England’s team for a series against South Africa. The live match headline says the All Blacks have “hit back,” putting the response from New Zealand at the centre of that update. It points to attention on the contest as it unfolds, rather than reporting a final result.
The other headline focuses on team selection: Broad says Cox deserves a place in England’s side for the South Africa series. That is an argument for Cox’s inclusion, not an announcement that he has been selected. Together, the stories put South Africa in the spotlight both as New Zealand’s opponent and as the opposition in the England series being discussed.
