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.

Relive all the action as Ireland haplessly chased a famous victory over England at Lord's.

Jack Leach's 92 as a nightwatchman appeared to have England on course to right the wrong of Wednesday's 85 all out but yet another middle order collapse had Ireland on the verge of a monumental win in just their third Test match.

Chris Woakes and Stuart Broad were sensational with the ball though to prevent humiliation for the hosts in preparation for the Ashes.

14.1 Ireland 36 - 9 Andy McBrine 0  Tim Murtagh 0 (c Root b Broad 0)

WICKET!

This will be over by lunch at this rate. Irish chances squandered and hopes demolished. Broad gets his fourth, brushing an edge out to Root who comfortably catches. Another duck.

15.4 Ireland 38 ALL OUT! (Murtagh b Woakes 2) 

WICKET!

It's all over for Ireland as they are skittled for 38 and England win by 143 runs. Woakes has his sixth and Ireland have capitulated. The lowest Test total of all time at Lord’s behind the 47 achieved by New Zealand in 1958.
