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.India took an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match one-day 'Sahara Cup' series against Pakistan in Toronto when they won the third encounter by 34 runs. Pakistan, the defending champions, restricted India to 182 for 6 in their 50 overs, when the match was re-started following Wednesday's wash-out because of rain. Pakistan collapsed to 148 all out in the 36th over.
Durham have released 22-year-old batsman Robin Weston, who had a top score of just 36 in 19 first-class innings. The county released another home-bred batsman, Darren Blenkiron, last month but all other players are being retained.
Sussex have released Nicky Phillips, the 23-year-old off-spinner who has been with the county since 1993, by mutual consent. He has played in 16 first-class games, taking 23 wickets.
Kent are releasing Tim Wren and Nick Preston at the end of the season. Wren, 27, made 30 first-class appearances for the county in seven years, while 25-year-old Preston has not played first-class cricket this summer.
