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.

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.

Law's well-crafted 111 enabled Lancashire to reach 281 for 8 in response to the hosts' 289.
In the First Division, Nottinghamshire's title aspirations suffered a setback on an abbreviated second day against Glamorgan at Cardiff, despite a century for Darren Bicknell. Only 33 overs were possible because of rain but Nottinghamshire still collapsed from 231 for 2 to 251 for 7 in the face of spin from Robert Croft and Dean Cosker.
Middlesex also slumped from a promising position, going from 178 for 3 to 238 for 6 against Gloucestershire at Bristol.
