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.

Title-chasing Lancashire are battling to stave off a second successive Championship defeat after conceding a first-innings lead of 197 to Nottinghamshire.

Ryan Sidebottom and Andrew Harris took three wickets each as the visitors were shot out for just 200 but hit back to reduce Nottinghamshire to 94 for 5.

The leaders Sussex were frustrated by Nick Knight's 123 at Edgbaston as Warwickshire made 329 for 7 on the first day.

Graham Onions took six wickets as Durham left Middlesex in deep trouble at Lord's. In reply to Durham's 409, Middlesex crashed to 176 all out and then slipped to 10 for 1 following on.

In the Second Division, Mike Powell's 299 for Glamorgan against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham helped the Welshmen declare on 647 for 7. Gloucestershire closed on 122 for one.

David Sales' 225 pushed Northamptonshire to 660 for 5 against Essex at Wantage Road. The visitors replied with 113 for 3.

Vikram Solanki's 140 gave Worcestershire a 33-run lead at Derbyshire.
