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.

The weather had the final say in the second Test between the West Indies and Sri Lanka, which ended in a thrilling draw on the fifth day at Arnos Vale, St Vincent, on Tuesday night. Chasing a victory target of 269, Sri Lanka were 233 for 8 when poor light halted play with 16 overs still scheduled to be bowled. Heavy rain ensued, preventing a resumption of play. The West Indies won the two-match series 1-0 after their six- wicket victory in the opening match in Antigua.

The India's Cricket Control Board has lifted its two-year international ban on the off-spinner Rajesh Chauhan, who was suspected of throwing by the International Cricket Council.
