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 second day's play in the second Test between England and the West Indies was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to torrential rain today.

England ended the first day on 302 for two with Alastair Cook on 126 not out and nightwatchman James Anderson on four.

Rain is also forecast to disrupt the match over the weekend.

England lead the two-Test series 1-0.
