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.With international cricket just around the corner once more, Devon Malcolm weighed in with a reminder of his match-winning capacity with 6 for 52, including three in four balls, to help Derbyshire to a 110-run win over Glamorgan at Cardiff.
Malcolm's best Championship performance was backed up by a career-best 4 for 55 from Andrew Harris on a day of dramatic collapses. Derbyshire began it by subsiding from 56 for 1 to 97 for 8, eventually finishing 132 all out and setting Glamorgan a target of 218.
When the Welshmen replied, Hugh Morris fell to the 10th ball of the innings without scoring and then Malcolm accounted for Adrian Dale and Matthew Maynard with successive balls. Tony Cottey prevented the hat-trick, but Stephen James went a ball later.
Malcolm later bowled Neil Kendrick and Colin Metson with successive balls and although he was again denied a hat-trick, this time by Darren Thomas, the innings ended seven runs later.
At Bristol, Courtney Walsh took 5 for 69 to deny Somerset victory over Gloucestershire. The visitors had set off chasing 250 to win, but after Walsh had put Peter Bowler in hospital, Somerset were happy to escape with a draw, finishing on 171 for 8. Bowler was hit in the face by a ball that found its way through his visor, but he returned to the ground after treatment.
