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.

IN A tense finish at Bristol, Cardigan Connor drove a six to give Hampshire a one-wicket victory over Gloucestershire with a ball to spare. Gloucestershire could muster only 102 in their second innings, giving Hampshire a target of 211.

A century in each innings by Nick Folland and a 12-wicket match haul for the leg spinner, Mushtaq Ahmed, were the main ingredients of Somerset's 120-run victory over Sussex at Taunton. Sussex were set 350 to win in a minimum of 75 overs but slipped from 142 for 2 to 229 all out.

At Kidderminster, the West Indian paceman, Ken Benjamin, produced a deadly spell to assist Worcestershire to a nine-wicket victory over Derbyshire. Benjamin collected the last four wickets for five runs in 15 balls to leave Worcestershire needing only 50.
