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.

Worcestershire registered a last-ball win over Leicestershire at Grace Road. The visitors won by two runs as the home side, chasing 204 for victory, finished on 201 for 9. They needed 14 off the last over from Phil Newport and, when nine came off the first three balls, Leicestershire looked to have the match in their grasp.

But Peter Hepworth, who had earlier taken a Sunday best of 5 for 51, was run out for 32 off the fifth ball and, with three needed off the last, Adrian Pierson was caught by Gavin Haynes at square leg.
