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.

ROUND UP

Worcestershire moved into second place in the Sunday League with a thrilling two-run victory against Warwickshire at New Road. The win enabled Worcestershire to leap-frog above the visitors into second place and dents Warwickshire's hopes of retaining the title.

Facing a target of 158 on a difficult, slow pitch, Warwickshire fell just short, subsiding to their first limited-overs defeat in 15 games.

Warwickshire needed eight runs off the last over but could not find the boundary as Phil Newport sealed the win by bowling Keith Piper.

Lancashire are in third, also above Warwickshire, after a 15-run win over Hampshire with Peter Martin taking 4 for 29.
