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.Mark Butcher steered England to a sensational six–wicket victory in the fourth Test at Headingley with an unbeaten century as the hosts made light of work of reaching the 315–run target.
The Surrey left–hander hit a Test best 173 not out as England averted an Ashes whitewash against the Aussies, who had won the first three Tests of the series.
Butcher shared in a third–wicket stand of 181 with captain Nasser Hussain (55) – the pair coming together after openers Mike Atherton (8) and Marcus Trescothick (10) had departed with just 33 runs on the board.
