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 seem to have been spared a delicate selection problem for the third Test tomorrow.
They were faced with a choice between Chris Tremlett, the impressive fast bowler who missed the win in Nottingham with a hamstring niggle which was followed by a back spasm, and Tim Bresnan, who replaced him and took seven wickets and scored 111 runs.
But Tremlett was forced to miss the squad's training session yesterday with a recurrence of the back trouble. It is unthinkable that England would risk him in a five-day match. The Nottinghamshire all-rounder Samit Patel trained with the squad yesterday, prompting the thought that England were thinking of playing two slow bowlers on an Edgbaston pitch likely to turn. But Patel left for home immediately afterwards and his left-arm spin will not feature. Not yet, that is.
