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.An unbroken 72-run partnership between Australian openers David Warner and Phil Hughes put Australia in prime position to chase down victory against New Zealand on the third day of the second Test in Hobart.
New Zealand collapsed before lunch to be dismissed for 226 in their second dig, giving them an overall lead of 240. The hosts then moved into the box seat before bad weather ended play. By that time, Warner, in his second Test, had raced to 47 off 50 balls and his out-of-form partner, Hughes, had battled to 20 as Australia chased a 2-0 series win. They needed 169 runs to win when play resumed last night.
