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.

BAD weather in New Delhi yesterday, which followed overnight rain, wiped out play in Sri Lanka's match against the Indian Board President's XI on the first day of their tour.

MERV HUGHES, the Australian fast bowler, took five wickets when he returned to first-class cricket yesterday after having undergone knee surgery. Hughes led Victoria's attack in their Sheffield Shield match against Queensland in Brisbane, his first senior appearance since the final Test against England last August.

SHEFFIELD SHIELD (Brisbane) (First of four days): Queensland 347 (M Hayden 126, J Maher 70, M Love 50; M Hughes 5-70); Victoria 9 for 1.
