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.England's World Cup group match against the co-hosts India will now take place in Bangalore. The fixture, to be played on 27 February, had been scheduled to be hosted by Kolkata's Eden Gardens but the venue lost the match last week after an ICC inspection team decided it would not be ready in time.
Bangalore's M Chinnaswamy Stadium was chosen as both sides will play Ireland in that city shortly afterwards. ICC officials will visit Eden Gardens next Monday to see whether it can host the three other World Cup matches it was allocated.
