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.HAVING picked some of their Texaco Trophy squad to win it (Derek Pringle, Richard Illingworth) and others with an eye to the Tests (Andrew Caddick, Mark Lathwell) it is surely certain that, with the series lost, England will give Lathwell his debut in the third and final match at Lord's today, writes Glenn Moore. It is also the ideal time to reintroduce Mark Ramprakash on his home ground. In the bowling, the available options are the return of Illingworth or the inclusion of Dermot Reeve, called up yesterday to replace Chris Lewis, who has a groin injury.
Allan Border has indicated that Australia will approach selection with a long-term view. Michael Slater and one or both of Wayne Holdsworth and Brendon Julian are in line for their debuts. Border said: 'We want to win at Lord's to keep the momentum going.' England, having lost their last five Tests and last five one-day matches, need a win just to get into first gear.
