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.NICKY PHILLIPS, the Durham off-spinner bowled unchanged for 42 overs at Chester-Le-Street yesterday to take a career-best four for 70 in the County Championship match against Yorkshire.
Following his captain David Boon's marathon innings of 139 not out, Phillips was on in the 10th over as Yorkshire replied to Durham's 337 with 235 for 8.
The depleted visitors were indebted to opener Michael Vaughan, who batted for 332 minutes to make 118 not out. He hit just six fours, most of them during an opening stand of 62 with Anthony McGrath. Vaughan now has the chance to become the first Yorkshire player to carry his bat since Geoff Boycott made 55 out of 131 against Surrey at Sheffield in 1985.
Phillips, whose confidence was boosted by the early scalp of Darren Lehmann, found enough turn to keep all the batsmen tied down
