Sport Two

on BBC Two England

with Colin Welland and Ian Wooldridge
The actor-playwright and the sportswriter-of-the-year continue their look at the sporting summer.

Lonesome Road: The marathon
...26 miles 385 yards... in Munich. It will be the climax of the Olympic athletics, as usual. This film tells the story of the race from classical antiquity to the present - and of double-winner Abebe Bikila, who now sits crippled in a wheelchair.

Cricket: England v Australia
Richie Benaud introduces the story and highlights of today's play in the Fourth Test at Headingley.
