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.Mike Hussey's unbeaten 163 made him the first batsman to pass 1,000 first-class and County Championship runs this season as Northamptonshire took control against Worcestershire at New Road yesterday.
The visiting captain hit 29 fours in his 278-ball stay to carry his team to 339 for 7 in the Second Division game.
Essex's Ronnie Irani hit an unbeaten 109 to keep his team afloat against the leaders, Middlesex, at Southgate. Earlier, an unbeaten 81 from David Nash had seen the hosts convert their overnight 376 for 6 into 538 all out. By the close Essex had advanced to 239 for 4, having been 7 for 3 at one stage.
Michael Di Venuto, with 91, and Andrew Gait, who hit 76, shared a first-wicket stand of 147 in Derbyshire's first-day 324 for 7 against Nottinghamshire at the Racecourse Ground. Chris Bassano added 83, but slow left-armer Nicky Boje nipped out both Di Venuto and Bassano on his way to figures of 4 for 45 as Derbyshire fell away, having reached 220 for 2.
