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.SURREY WILL be led by Adam Hollioake against Yorkshire at Headingley today. While he was on England one-day duty Mark Butcher was captain when they beat Nottinghamshire. The Championship leaders also welcome back their England quartet of Butcher, Stewart, Ben Hollioake and Ian Salisbury.
Yorkshire include the 20-year-old Gary Fellows in their squad. Fellows, a product of the club's Academy, is included along with Craig White, who returns to the four-day squad for the first time since June, since when he has been out of action with an injury to his lower back. He is likely to play just as a batsman.
Lancashire will wait on the return of John Crawley from The Oval before finalising their team against Derbyshire at Old Trafford. Mike Atherton could return, providing he does not suffer any further back problems, and Ian Austin and Peter Martin are definitely back after missing the last game at Durham on England duty.
Chris Lewis - dropped for the last Championship game against Nottinghamshire - is set to return for Leicestershire against Warwickshire at Edgbaston but probably not as captain. Phil Simmons is in line to continue in the role.
Gloucestershire are expected to keep the team beaten by Somerset on Sunday for their game against Northamptonshire at Bristol. They have included wicketkeeper Richard Williams with the possibility that he could play as a batsman.
