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.IT WAS not quite making hay while the sun shone, but the Surrey batsman, David Ward, did his best against Glamorgan at Neath yesterday, collecting his second century in two days.
Following on directly from a match-winning unbeaten 103, which gave Surrey their first Championship win of the season against Northamptonshire, he tucked in greedily to Glamorgan's attack, hitting 17 fours and one six on his way to a 129-minute, 114- ball hundred.
Ward's fireworks followed an early session dominated by a Surrey old boy as Mark Frost dismissed both Surrey's openers, Darren Bicknell and Paul Atkins, in a pre- lunch burst of 2 for 34. Monte Lynch followed when the score was on 53, but from then on the day belonged to Ward and England B's Graham Thorpe. Ward eventually fell for 138, made off just 140 balls, and including 25 fours.
