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.Lancashire and Glamorgan maintained their 100 per cent records at the top of the totesport League yesterday.
Lancashire ended Hampshire's unbeaten record at Old Trafford, while Glamorgan saw off Essex at Sophia Gardens.
Hampshire made 189 for 9 from their 45 overs against Lancashire. The Australian Michael Clarke cracked 54 runs and Nic Pothas continued his recent run of form with 45, but there was little resistance from the lower order. Sajid Mahmood took 3 for 39.
A third-wicket stand of 98 between Stuart Law (83) and Mike Chilton (58 not out) swung the game Lancashire's way and they won by seven wickets with almost 14 overs to spare.
Andrew Davies took 3 for 35 and Alex Wharf 3 for 24 as Glamorgan restricted Essex to 162 for 9. The home side then sank to 15 for 2 in reply, but Wharf, with 41, and Mike Powell with 21 steadied the ship before Matthew Maynard (45 not out) and David Hemp (31 not out) finished off a six-wicket win.
