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.AUSTRALIA beat South Africa in comprehensive fashion in the third one-day international at St George's Park yesterday to reduce their deficit in the eight-match series to 2-1. On a perfect batting wicket, the Australian captain, Allan Border, helped his side to 281 for 6 after winning the toss and choosing to bat. After David Boon and Dean Jones put on 123 for the second wicket, Mark Waugh hit 60 from 55 balls and Border made an unbeaten 40 off just 17 balls, with four fours and three sixes. In reply, the hosts were bundled out for 193 with leg-spinner Shane Warne and fast bowler Craig McDermott sharing seven wickets.
STEVE MARSH, the Kent vice-captain and wicketkeeper, has been awarded a benefit in 1995. Marsh, 33, joined the county in 1982 and was capped four years later. He has scored more than 6,000 first-class runs and claimed nearly 500 victims.
