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.

After the match, the two captains paid tribute to their best players. England's Mike Atherton said of Angus Fraser: "Angus bowled outstandingly well throughout the match for us. It's extremely unfortunate for him to take 11 wickets in the match and finish up on the losing side."

The West Indies' skipper Brian Lara said of Carl Hooper: "As long as Carl was there, I thought we were going to win the game. Carl came in at the luncheon break and he said if he was there at the end, it would be the best innings he had ever played. I think it was the best innings I've ever seen him play. It was a great innings."
