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.

TIM MUNTON'S injury problems returned on the second day of Warwickshire's three-day fixture against Oxford University at The Parks yesterday.

Munton, who missed the whole of last season while recovering from back surgery, pulled up with a tweaked hamstring midway through the morning session. He could be out of action for a fortnight.

A career-best 73 from Jason Molins led a creditable Oxford reply to Warwickshire's first innings of 307 for 7, as the students declared at 269 for 9 off 93 overs. Warwickshire scored a rapid 64 without loss off 13 overs before the close.

At Fenner's, Durham closed on 186 for 1 in their second innings, 337 ahead of Cambridge University, who were dismissed for 119 in their first innings.
