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 captain Andrew Strauss confirmed bowler Chris Tremlett will be monitored ahead of tomorrow's second Test against India but remains "confident" the paceman will be available for the Trent Bridge clash.
Tremlett, who teamed up so effectively with Stuart Broad and James Anderson in the first Test, missed training yesterday with a "tight" hamstring and only trained briefly at the Nottinghamshire ground this morning.
Strauss, however, said: "I think he's fine, obviously he's had a bit of a niggle with his hamstring. He's just getting a massage and will be coming out for a bit of a bowl later.
"At the moment we expect him to be fit for tomorrow but obviously like all these things we'll see in the morning.
"We're confident he should be okay.
"You've always got to weigh these things in, it's a short turn-around between Test matches but we're not going to pick someone in the side unless we're sure he is 100% fit and able to get through the full five days."
