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.

PAKISTAN, 1-0 up in the three- match series, face an uphill struggle to reassert their anticipated superiority over Zimbabwe when the second Test resumes in Rawalpindi today.

They are 33 ahead with seven second-innings wickets standing, and much depends upon the ability of Inzamam-ul-Haq and Javed Miandad to fend off the Zimbabwean pace trio of Eddo Brandes, David Brain and Heath Strook.

The fourth day of the inaugural Test between Sri Lanka and West Indies in Colombo yesterday was washed out after heavy overnight rain. Sri Lanka are 29 ahead with eight second-innings wickets standing.
