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.

England A . . . . . . . . . . . .220

Australian Cricket Academy. . . .7-0

PAUL PRICHARD led a rescue operation for England A who were struggling against the spin attack of the Australian Cricket Academy on the first day of their four-day match in Melbourne yesterday.

Prichard shared stands with Jack Russell and Andy Caddick in scoring his second half-century in four innings, and managed to steer the side from 95 for 5 to a fairly respectable 220 all out.

England's prospects were dealt a blow when James Boiling was struck by a delivery from fast bowler Troy Corbett. It is feared that Boiling has sustained a broken toe which would sideline him along with the other injured bowlers, David Millns and Dominic Cork.
