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.

Sussex's Scott Styris smashed a century from 37 balls to put his side through to Twenty 20 finals day at the expense of Gloucestershire.

The T20 quarter-final was particularly expensive for Gloucestershire bowler James Fuller, whose third over went for 38 runs. The over, the 18th of the innings, started with two no-balls which both found their way to the boundary, before Styris launched a six to make it 16 runs from one legitimate delivery. Another maximum was followed by a four, before Fuller finally produced a dot ball then Styris top-edged a hook that dropped inches short of the rope launching the last ball over long-on for six more.

In last night's other game, Somerset beat Essex by 27 runs, James Hildreth hitting 58.
