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 suspicion that promoted Worcestershire face a tall task to avoid a rapid return to the Second Division appeared to be well founded at Trent Bridge, where Nottinghamshire won by an innings and five runs. Any hopes Worcestershire had of avoiding defeat disappeared in the morning session when four wickets fell, England's Stuart Broad claiming two.
At Edgbaston, Jim Troughton's maiden double-century was the cornerstone of a record-breaking fifth-wicket partnership for Warwickshire against Hampshire. Troughton and wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose (153) put on 335. After a declaration on 630 for 8, Hampshire reached 61 for 0. In the Second Division, Middlesex's Phillip Hughes resumed on 100 but chopped a ball from Garnett Kruger on to his stumps to be out for 118. Middlesex declared on 414 for 8 – a first-innings deficit of 91. Glamorgan were four down at the close.
Derbyshire should beat Surrey at Derby, where they need only another 74 to reach at target of 218, with eight wickets in hand. A century from Stephen Peters helped Northamptonshire to draw with Kent at Canterbury.
In the Indian Premier League in Durban, England's Ravi Bopara hit a 59-ball 85 as Kings XI Punjab powered to a seven-wicket win over Bangalore Royal Challengers, whose captain, Kevin Pietersen, fell for a second-ball duck.
