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 wrapped up their sixth County Championship victory of the season yesterday as Glamorgan were condemned to their 11th defeat out of 12.

The champions made light work of their trip to Colwyn Bay, winning by 10 wickets with more than a day to spare. The maximum-points win drew Warwickshire back into contention to defend their title.

They were indebted to some poor Glamorgan batting which saw them reduced to 188 for 7 before Michael Powell and Robert Croft offered some resistance with a partnership of 81 in 27 overs. They did enough to ensure Warwickshire batted a second time but it took Nick Knight and Ian Westwood only 2.1 overs to knock off the three runs required to win.

The Surrey coach, Steve Rixon, is to leave the club at the end of this season. Rixon joined Surrey on a two-year contract before the 2004 campaign and has chosen not to sign a new deal.
