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.

In reply to Middlesex's first-innings total of 170 they were bowled out for 287, with Michael Yardy making a patient 89 and then Steve Magoffin and James Anyon adding lusty tail-end runs. Seamer Toby Roland-Jones was the pick of the bowlers, taking 6 for 66.
In reply, Middlesex ticked off most of the deficit in reaching 92 for 2, and with a game in hand they will also hope to stay in touch with the top teams in Division One.
In Division Two, bottom club Leicestershire struggled at Northampton, limping to 187 for 6 in reply to 399. South Africa's two-day match at Derby ended in a draw.
