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.

CHRIS ADAMS, taking advantage of a placid pitch and an inexperienced Nottinghamshire attack, hit a career-best 175 as Derbyshire banished thoughts of following on at Trent Bridge yesterday, writes James Allen. The local argument will hinge on a declaration by Tim Robinson, the Nottinghamshire captain, tomorrow.

Contests with a regional flavour elsewhere are less evenly balanced. Worcestershire, thanks to a century from Steve Rhodes, secured a healthy first-innings lead over Warwickshire at Edgbaston. At Headingley Yorkshire had the better of things against Durham, who trailed by 68, Darren Gough finishing with 5 for 79.

Adrian Aymes hit his maiden first-class century for Hampshire against Sussex at Portsmouth, while a hundred from Carl Hooper revived Kent after Wasim Akram had taken three quick wickets for Lancashire at Lytham.
