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.

Fidel Edwards picked up five wickets in a devastating opening spell to stun Bangladesh in Mirpur before the hosts recovered to end the second day of the second Test against the West Indies on 204 for 7 yesterday.

After dismissing the tourists for 355, Bangladesh had no answer to Edwards's extra pace and bounce on a supposedly low and slow track and were reduced to 59 for 5 before former captain Shakib al-Hasan provided some resistance with a quick-fire 73.

Shakib's eventful 74-ball knock was brought to an end when he was deceived by the flight and turn from Devendra Bishoo and was bowled, handing the spinner his only success of the day. REUTERS
