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.

LEICESTERSHIRE'S Vince Wells produced the batting performance of the day to ensure his team made up for lost time against Yorkshire at Headingley after their first-day washout.

Opener Wells finished just six short of his 150, having brought up his hundred in 161 balls with 13 fours and a six, to help Leicestershire towards 353 for 9 declared.

Hampshire's captain Robin Smith, scoring 84, led his team close to first innings parity against Glamorgan. Adrian Aymes and Paul Whitaker added 84 in an unbeaten partnership that took their team to 247 for 5, just 22 runs behind.
