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.

Faced with Sri Lanka's imposing 502 for 3 declared, the Zimbabwe President's XI stuttered to 68 for 6 at the close of the second day of their three-day match in Harare yesterday. The Sri Lankan declaration came as soon as the two left-handers, Hashan Tillekeratne (105) and captain Arjuna Ranatunga (100), reached their centuries. Then the home side had little answer to the left-arm seamer Chaminda Vaas, who took three for 25, and Ravindra Pushpakumara, who achieved three for 27.
