“This year’s #RedforRuth campaign will raise awareness of our new Family Support Service – a vital service that provides much-needed pre-bereavement support for families with dependent children, where a parent is told they don’t have much longer to live, helping families prepare for grief, death and dying,” the foundation confirmed in an official statement.

While talking about the Test match, India got off to a disappointing start on Day 2 losing the key wickets of both their overnight batsmen, KL Rahul and Ajinkya Rahane quite early. Rahul got out in just the first over of the day after playing a poor shot off Ollie Robinson’s bowling. The right-hander still was absolutely phenomenal scoring an excellent knock of 129 runs that included 12 fours and 1 six. On the other hand, Ajinkya Rahane once again failed to contribute much with the bat getting dismissed for a 23-ball 1.

However, the duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant have resurrected the Indian innings and now the visitors will definitely be targeting to score atleast 400 runs in the first innings.
