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.

Sheffield Wednesday's David Jones controls the ball

Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Swansea

33' - Yep, there's really not too much noteworthy stuff going on at Hillsborough. 

Early games are always so hit-and-miss and this first half is definitely going in the 'miss' category.

Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Swansea

37' - What a save!

Kyle Naughton's pin-point cross finds Mike van der Hoorn in the box but his header is superbly tipped over the bar by Wednesday goalkeeper Cameron Dawson.

Luciano Narsingh of Swansea City is challenged by Daniel Pudil of Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Swansea

42' - Ki Sung-yeung tries his luck from distance but the Swansea midfielder's effort slices well wide of Cameron Dawson's goal.

Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Swansea

45' - We'll have a minimum of one additional minute at the end of the first half.

Half-time - Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Swansea

45+1' - Wednesday's Adam Reach heads the ball towards goal from a corner but misses the target from a tight angle.

The referee brings the opening period to a close a few moments later and we're level at the break after an uninspiring 45 minutes of football.

Let's hope for a vast improvement in the standard of play after the interval.

Sheffield Wednesday's Morgan Fox skips away from Swansea's Tammy Abraham during the first half 

Liam Corless17 February 2018 13:24

Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Swansea

46' - We are back underway at Hillsborough!

Liam Corless17 February 2018 13:34

Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Swansea

48' - Swansea's Luciano Narsingh wants a penalty after a coming-together in the box with Morgan Fox but the referee waves play on.

There looked to be a little contact there but the way Narsingh theatrically went to ground probably counted against him.
