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.

Cricket

England have been given a generous helping hand in their quest for practice before the second Test against South Africa.

The four-day game against Orange Free State has been split into two contests, which means all 16 England players can be assured of at least one outing on Bloemfontein's Springbok Park.

A three-day game will start tomorrow, with a 50-overs-per-side match scheduled for Sunday. Initially, England had only one game before the Test series resumes in Johannesburg on 30 November.

The new arrangement will also give England the chance to face Allan Donald. The Free State fast bowler had been withdrawn from the four-day fixture by South Africa, who did not want him overworked, but they have agreed to let him play in Sunday's one-day game.
