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.Lancashire's John Crawley warmed up for the Lord's Test with a rapid 91 at Old Trafford yesterday but his effort failed to prevent Kent from winning by 58 runs to go to the top of the County Championship.
Crawley was fifth out with the score at 203 and Lancashire then capitulated to the leg-spin of the Zimbabwean Paul Strang, whose figures of 4 for 68 gave him a match return of 11 for 186. Kent had declared at 217 for 9 shortly after lunch, setting the home side 306 in 58 overs.
Worcestershire's seamer Stuart Lampitt ended Jack Russell's resistance and consigned Gloucestershire to their first Championship defeat of the season - by 95 runs - at Bristol.
Russell, who had shared a 57-run, seventh-wicket stand with Mark Alleyne and a 70-run stand for the eighth wicket with Tim Hancock, was eventually caught on 65.
