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 have made Test history by becoming the first side ever to name an unchanged line-up for the sixth successive match.

Captain Michael Vaughan announced the same side at Lord's today prior to tomorrow's start of the opening npower Test against South Africa.

Hampshire seamer Chris Tremlett once again missed out from the 12-man squad and Vaughan said: "Hopefully this side will put in a similar performance to the one we delivered against New Zealand at Trent Bridge (when England won by an innings and nine runs).

"I think our performances got better as the New Zealand series went on and we want that to continue against South Africa."
