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.

John Langridge, the former Sussex batsman, has died at the age of 89 in Eastbourne. He hit a record 76 centuries for the county, scored 34,152 runs in his career between 1928 and 1955, nearly 5,000 more than Sussex's second-highest run-getter Ken Suttle.

Sussex have capped the former Northamptonshire opener, Richard Montgomerie, who moved to the south coast this season and has so far hit 632 County Championship runs at an average of 48.61 for his new employers.

The England women's team are to play three one-day internationals against India. The first is at Old Trafford next Tuesday, the second is at Northampton on Friday 9 July and the final match is at Trent Bridge on Sunday 11 July
