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.

England are looking to put some distance between themselves and the rest of the teams with a win against West Indies in their fourth World Cup match.

Eoin Morgan’s side recovered from a defeat against Pakistan to convincingly win against Bangladesh, but will need to be at their best against Jason Holder’s men. England drew a bilateral series 2-2 with the West Indies during their winter tour but will be confident as they look to extend their winning run at the Ageas Bowl to five matches.

India vs New Zealand was abandoned yesterday without a ball being bowled due to rain. The forecast for today is much better and any early rain should pass. Follow live updates in the blog below:

England 199-1

WICKET! Woakes (40) b Shannon Gabriel c Fabian Allen

It's not been the best fielding from Allen this afternoon and he was taking some stick from the supporters behind him, but he was underneath Woakes' effort at fine leg.

Two wickets and now a century for Joe Root, the tournament's leading scorer. What a knock by England's finest batsman.
