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 are waiting on their injured wicketkeeper, Keith Piper, before their Championship match with Somerset at Edgbaston today. Piper has returned to the one-day side, but may not be ready for a Championship game after a persistent Achilles tendon injury.

The left-arm paceman, Michael Bell, and the off spinner, Neil Smith, are likely to compete for the final place in the game put back 24 hours to accommodate the floodlit match in the AXA Life League.

Starting times vary on the first two days, with play at noon today and at 11am tomorrow.

WARWICKSHIRE (from): Moles (capt), Wagh, Hemp, Ostler, Penney, Brown, Welch, Giles, Frost, Piper, Donald, Bell, Smith, Edmond.
