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.

David Lloyd said he still thought England had a chance of salvaging a draw. The coach said: "We have a fighting chance, and both Nasser and John have batted with great determination.

"Nasser played just like he did when he made 200 at Edgbaston - watchful in defence but also looking to put the bad ball away.

"We have put a partnership together at last and batting always looks easier when you do that. But we have to get through the first hour, and then the new ball. We will be scrapping like mad and it will mean everything to us if we can save this Test."

Australia's coach, Geoff Marsh, said: "We were disappointed not to get a couple of wickets in the last session, but if we bowl the right length tomorrow then we will win the game."
