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.Worcestershire are set to go on flood watch after the abandonment of their match with Nottinghamshire at rain-battered New Road yesterday.
Club officials anticipate at least a 48-hour wait before the Severn, which flows directly past New Road, reaches its peak level. The Severn has flooded New Road to devastating effect before, most recently in 2007.
The final-day washout against Nottinghamshire killed off the visitors' plans to set up a finish. With Neil Edwards on 49 not out, they closed 174 ahead on Saturday after reaching 88 for two in their second innings.
The weather wreaked havoc with all the weekend's county championship fixtures. Division One leaders Warwickshire were frustrated in their match against Sussex at Hove. No play was possible on the final day, and only 45 minutes of play was possible on Saturday. A draw meant Warwickshire took eight points and Sussex five.
In the Indian Premier League, Kevin Pietersen managed just 5 in his final innings before returning to county cricket– or, more accurately, the England team – but his Delhi Daredevils managed a thrilling one-run win over Rajasthan Royals.
