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.

DIPAK PATEL, the former Worcestershire off-spinner, took 5 for 54 from 27 overs on the first day of New Zealand's three-day match against Zimbabwe B in Harare. After the home side declared at 246 for 8, the tourists' openers, Blair Hartland and Mark Greatbatch, put on 43 without being separated.

ZIMBABWE, the latest country to be awarded full Test-match status, have accepted an invitation to play in next summer's 107th Scarborough Festival. Their brief visit will include a three-day match in early September against a President's invitation team likely to contain several members of the Australian Ashes tour party.

TOUR MATCH (Harare, first day of three): Zimbabwe B 246 for 8 dec; New Zealand 43 for 0.
