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.The weather that has hampered Bangladesh's first tour to New Zealand returned yesterday and prevented a ball from being bowled in the second Test.
The weather that has hampered Bangladesh's first tour to New Zealand returned yesterday and prevented a ball from being bowled in the second Test. The hosts were set to resume on 72 without loss in reply to Bangladesh's 132, but early showers forced a delayed start.
When the covers were eventually removed in the early afternoon the groundsmen discovered water had leaked on to both ends of the wicket. Workers, in an attempt to dry one end, used a hair dryer, but another shower at 4.30pm forced the abandonment of play.
Weather permitting, play on the third day is scheduled to start half an hour early, with Mark Richardson unbeaten on 38 and Matthew Horne on 30.
