What's ‘Red’ day at Lord's? Why everyone are wearing red during England vs India third Test today?

The entire Lord's on Friday turned red during the ongoing third Test between India and England for a special cause in an heartfelt tribute to the Ruth Strauss Foundation. In its seventh year, the annual #RedForRuth day has become a significant tradition in English summer calendar where players, broadcasters, staff and spectators don red in the memory of former England captain Sir Andrew Strauss's late wife Ruth. 

The initiative aims at supporting families who are grappling with terminal illness of a parent and transforming grief into a powerful community support. A special ceremony was also held just before the start of the first ball on the day. 

In fact, volunteers at the ground were also seen selling #RedForRuth bucket hats and handed out Ruth Roses in exchange for donations. 

With the support of the cricketing fraternity, the Foundation has provided aid to over 3,500 family members and has trained more than 1,000 cancer care professionals.
