Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Gloucestershire are trying to persuade their highly-rated batsman Andrew Symonds to turn down an invitation to play for Australia A against the touring West Indies in Melbourne on Friday. If the 21-year-old Anglo- Australian, named in a 12-strong squad, accepts the offer, it would effectively end his career at the county and would also make him ineligible to play for England.

England's batsmen failed to capitalise on an excellent bowling display on the second day of their four-day Under-19 International against Pakistan in Faisalabad after wrapping up the hosts' innings for 256. England then slipped from 192 for 4 to 230 all out - a first-innings deficit of 26.
