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.

England Under-19 could not cope with the leg spinner Shahid Khan Afridi and slumped to a nine-wicket defeat in a three-day game against their Karachi counterparts yesterday.

Shahid, who took five first-innings wickets to help dismiss England for 238, claimed 4 for 46 in England's second innings of 181.

The home side experienced little difficulty in reaching 126 for the loss of only one wicket, making their target in just 20.4 overs.
