Sunday Grandstand

on BBC Two England

Introduced by Frank Bough

2.35* International Tennis The Stella Artois
Grass Court Championships from The Queen's Club, London
The winner of this afternoon's final will take away just over E8,000 plus a great boost to his confidence for the Wimbledon Championships which start in a week's time. Commentators DAN MASKELL, JOHN BARRETT

3.15* International Athletics GDR v GB from Dresden
The all powerful GDR team will inevitably win the Men's and Women's team matches but the British athletes will find this calibre of opposition good preparation for the important European Cup competitions next month. Ron Pickering says:
' The mighty East Germans proved their strength again at the Moscow Olympics. Nevertheless, this annual match is one which always produces some outstanding individual British performances. Our young stars tend to cut their teeth on the East Germans and display the character and commitment we are always looking for. I look forward to seeing Maritta Koch in action - the world record holder at 200 and 400 metres has brought a new dimension to sprinting.'
Commentators RON PICKERING , STUART STOREY

3.30* Cricket The John Player League
A fast over rate and spectacular run-making, combined with the splendid settings of our most picturesque grounds make this competition extremely popular with the cricket audience. Commentators CHRISTOPHER MARTIN-JENKINS and PETER WALKER
* The above times indicate only the first of several transmissions.
