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.

ENGLAND suffered their second loss to the Netherlands in four years on Saturday in Haarlem. Ironically it was a New Zealander, Roger Bradley, and an Australian, Peter Cantrell, who sealed the seven-wicket defeat with 88 not out and 64 respectively.

England set the Dutch 189 after struggling to 90 for 4 off 35 overs at lunch. The captain, Mark Benson, took 47 overs to score 58. The 138 partnership for the third wicket between Bradley and Cantrell sealed another embarassing defeEat.

Keith Fletcher, the England manager, admitted that Martin McCague and Mark Illot should not have gone on the trip, sTHER write erroraying they would have been better off at home recharging their batteries for another crack at Australia.
