Miller to the rescue
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.England's women showed encouraging signs that the groundwork for the defence of their European Nations's Cup next month is proceeding satisfactorily in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Germany, writes Bill Colwill from Sheffield.
The match was the focal point of the All England Women's Hockey Association Centenary, and so the result, caused by Nadine Ernsting-Krienke giving Germany a 43rd-minute lead and Tammy Miller equalising for England in the 50th, was relatively unimportant - the occasion was what mattered.
Both teams contributed to some marvellous moments to entertain the capacity crowd, particularly in the second half.
England's coach, Maggie Souyave, was pleased with her squad's fightback although she will be aware that the defence looked cumbersome and the forwards did not take full advantages of all the chances that came their way.
