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.

Hampshire's Michael Lumb has become English cricket's latest Indian Premier League signing after agreeing a deal with Rajasthan Royals.

Eoin Morgan was the only England-qualified player to be bought in Tuesday's auction, but Lumb was signed afterwards in a deal reportedly worth £30,000. Non-internationals can be signed outside of the auction and Lumb's former Hampshire captain Shane Warne, the Royals captain and coach, opted to add the 29-year-old to his roster.

In Chittagong, a fifth century in five Tests from Gautam Gambhir left India on top in the first Test against Bangladesh. Gambhir hit 116 as India declared their second innings at 413 for 8. The hosts ended the day on 67 for 2, needing 348 for an improbable win.
