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.

Courtney Walsh dealt Brian Lara, his successor as West Indies captain, a fresh blow as Warwickshire skipper yesterday, taking six for 65 in a commanding 170 runs victory by Gloucestershire at Bristol.

It was the fourth defeat in the last five matches for Warwickshire and Lara's run of poor form continued when Mike Smith trapped him lbw for a duck.

In the only other match to produce a winner Lancashire beat Somerset by nine runs at Old Trafford. A defiant eighth-wicket stand between Marcus Trescothick (73 not out) and Graham Rose (56) was not quite enough for the visitors.
