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.Warwickshire achieved their first home Championship victory of the season yesterday as they edged out Nottinghamshire by 85 runs with Ashley Giles taking 5 for 70 - his best figures of the season - after the visitors had been set a target of 297 in 81 overs.
He was well supported Shaun Pollock, who took 3 for 19, as Warwickshire triumphed with 14.1 overs to spare and took the defending champions to fifth place.
Pollock trapped Tim Robinson lbw for nought in his first over but Paul Pollard and Ashley Metcalfe looked to have given Nottinghamshire a solid base with a stand of 91 in 35 overs. After a wayward opening spell, Giles switched to the City End and had Metcalfe caught behind for 44 and in his next over Paul Johnson perished at mid-off for two.
Wickets then fell at steady intervals and the only resistance came from Kevin Evans, who made 60 before he was last out caught hooking at Pollock.
Glamorgan's Steve Watkin broke into Gloucestershire's tail with a spell of three wickets in seven balls without a run being scored, but the Welsh side still had to settle for a draw. The home side held on with two wickets remaining and nine fielders around the bat for Watkin's final over.
