Rain Helps Kiwis

MANCHESTER-- Rain came to New Zealand's assistance in the fourth day of the third and final test, washing out most of the day's play. Resuming at 205 for 5 and needing 26 runs to avoid an innings defeat, the New Zealanders advance to 253 for 5 when play was eventually called off. Martin Crowe remained unbeaten on 94, and looked comfortable, while Adam Parore was not out 66, his highest test score. New Zealand had been forced to follow on after a dismal first innings of 151, in reply to the 382 scored by England. The English lead the series 1-0.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
