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.The Leicestershire opener Vince Wells, dropped by Dominic Cork when he had made 25, made bottom of the table Derbyshire pay with a magnificent 190 at Grace Road yesterday. Wells' third century of the season helped Leicestershire to 373 for 7 at the close.
Kevin Curran made the highest score of his career to help Northamptonshire fight back against Glamorgan at Abergavenny. The veteran all-rounder came in at 51 for 3 and hit an unbeaten 159 as his side closed on 302 for 8.
Yorkshire have re-signed the Australian left-hander Darren Lehmann on a one-year contract as their overseas player for next season, and he repaid their faith with his 11th innings of 50 or more in 19 Championship innings to put Yorkshire in command against Sussex at Scarborough.
The Australian left-hander built on the advantage forged by the seamers Chris Silverwood and Paul Hutchison, who shared the honours as the visitors were bowled out for 157 after winning the toss. Lehmann was unbeaten on 63 at the close as Yorkshire reached 174 for 5.
