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.Lydia Greenway has warned her England team-mates not to take anything for granted despite her unbeaten 69 in the first one-day international, leaving Charlotte Edwards’ side on the brink of retaining the Ashes.
A seven-wicket win over Australia in Melbourne means England now lead the series 8-0, after winning the one-off Test which was worth six points, and now need just one victory in either the final two ODIs or three Twenty20s to keep the urn.
“England and Australia in any sport is always going to be huge competition,” said Greenway.
“It’s a good win, it probably looks a little more comfortable than it actually was.”
After the hosts posted a target of 201 with an unbeaten 89 from Alex Blackwell, England were struggling at 68 for 3 until Greenway and Arran Brindle (64 not out) put on an unbroken stand of 142.
