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.

England lost the Under-19 one-day series 2-0 to South Africa yesterday when they went defeated by 50 runs at Centurion Park. After Morne van Wyk had hit a top score of 45, Goolam Bodi smashed a six and a four off the last two balls bowled by Jonathan Powell to steer South Africa to 252 for 9.

In response, England's batsmen again committed several lamentable errors as they were dismissed for 202. Durham's Michael struck 56 not out.
