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.

WARWICKSHIRE emphasised once again yesterday that cricket is more about collectivism than individual derring-do.

By defeating Hampshire at Edgbaston to win the County Championship, the team duly completed the second leg of what would be an unprecedented 'Grand Slam' of all four domestic competitions - this just hours after the club had failed to gain any representation in the England party to tour Australia this winter.

Before a packed house at Lord's today, Warwickshire will attempt to retain the NatWest Trophy - the premier one-day competition - when they resume hostilities with Worcestershire, their victims in the Benson & Hedges Cup final.

With just two matches remaining, they also lead the Sunday League by two points. No county has ever won three competitions in the same season.

One factor was the signing of the Trinidadian batsman, Brian Lara, who against Durham in May added the highest first-class score (501 not out) to the Test landmark of 375 he established the previous month.
