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 collapsed on the second day of the first Test against India in Brisbane before bad light brought play to an end with the hosts 323 for nine.
On a rain-interrupted day, Australia resumed on 262 for two - but with bad weather restricting play to just 5.4 overs before lunch, the tourists grabbed three quick wickets with the scalps of Justin Langer, Damien Martyn and Steve Waugh.
Things went from bad to worse for the home side after the break.
After another three-and-a-half hour rain delay, India skittled out four further wickets to take their tally to seven for 61 for the day.
