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.

Watford appear to be maintaining possession this half and are beginning to control the tempo of the play. They have rightfully binned the defending deep approach that they had been using in the first half, that was allowing Stoke to control the midfield.

Arnautovic wins a free kick, after Amrabat lunges into the back of him in the middle of the park.
59 MINS
Stoke send a long distance free kick up the field, with Shaqiri leading the attack. Pereyra brings this attack to the end with a clever defensive tackle.
This game is non-stop free kicks right now, for pointless fouls. This is stopping the games tempo and giving neither side the chance to attack.
62 MINS
Pieters has gone to ground after a clumsy challenge from Amrabat. After already being armed witha yellow card, the Dutchman will have to be very careful. Again, it's a free kick that is stopping the rhythm of the play and stopping them from scoring.
65 MINS
Pereyra sends a corner in for Watford, but Pieters clears the danger. The ball is then sent back in, but Grant comes out and punches it away.
68 MINS
A corner for Stoke is cleared to safety by Ighala. Neither side are making the most of their set pieces so far.
70 MINS
An attack from Watford begins with Capoue, but the final cross into the box from Britos is easily headed away by the Stoke defence. Nonetheless, the home side certainly look more threatening going forward this half. The Potters are on the backfoot.
72 MINS
Pieters takes down Pereyra and gives away a free kick in a dangerous position for Watford.
They need to make the most of this.
