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.

Another good over from Rashid. 4 from it. #WI need 102 from 60.LIVE: bit.ly/WT20-35 #ENGvWI #WT20 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CfIWSKSWIAIBbza.jpg
61-3 - Samuels 43 Bravo 9Both sides will feel fairly comfortable with that last over - seven for the West Indies. It feels like both sides are waiting for the other to make a mistake - it's all very cautious out there.
8 from a Stokes over, and #WI need 93 from 53. Fascinatingly poised!LIVE: bit.ly/WT20-35 #ENGvWI #WT20 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CfIXoNqXEAUew0l.jpg
#ENGvWI Required run rate now 11.13; 89 required from 48. WI 67-3 (12 ov) Samuels 46*, Bravo 11.
67-3 - Samuels 45 Bravo 10More of the same from the West Indies pair as they hit cautious singles - 89 from 48 needed. Tense, tense stuff.
Well bowled by Rashid. #WI now need 89 from 48 balls. . .LIVE: bit.ly/WT20-35 #ENGvWI #WT20 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CfIYS9BWIAEuU43.jpg
76-3 - Samuels 48 Bravo 17Great drama in this over as Billings should catch a long hit from Bravo, but slips as he tries to take it! The ball slips out of his hands and runs for four. Then there's a collision at an attempted run-out, but Bravo survives again!
Bravo is dropped in the deep, and then is almost run-out! 80 needed from 42LIVE: bit.ly/WT20-35 #WT20 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CfIZsTHWwAAHQH_.jpg
