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.

Derbyshire, the County Championship Second Division's bottom team, beat Durham by four wickets at Chester-le-Street yesterday, reaching a target of 224 thanks to a century from the Tasmanian Michael Di Venuto and an unbeaten 70 from Christopher Bassano.

The defeat was no reward for a stunning bowling display by Durham's James Brinkley, who took 6 for 14 in Derbyshire's first innings of 95.

Middlesex were rocked by two late dismissals against Gloucestershire at Lord's, with Owais Shah being caught by Martyn Ball off the bowling of Jeremy Snape and David Alleyne lbw to his namesake Mark. The home side ended the day at 140 for 4, chasing Gloucestershire's 400 for 3 declared.
