Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Trevor Penney, the Warwickshire batsman, has turned down the chance to play in next summer's World Cup. Zimbabwe tried to persuade the 30- year-old to give up his career in county cricket to return to play for his native country but Penney has said he intends to stay with Warwickshire.

Leicestershire have signed the seam bowler Scott Boswell from Northamptonshire and the Sussex leg spinner Amer Khan for next season. Boswell, 24, has signed a one-year contract at Grace Road, while the Pakistan-born Khan is joining on a two-year deal.

John Bracewell, the Gloucestershire coach, has signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until the end of the 2001 season.
