1.55; 2.25; 3.45* International Tennis from Crystal Palace: The Wightman Cup: Great Britain v USA
The final matches, two singles and a doubles, of this annual team event for ladies, which was inaugurated in 1923. Although Great Britain have won the Cup only nine times, they have beaten the USA for the last two years, but this year, captained by Virginia Wade, they face a very strong American team led by the world's No 1 player, Chris Evert.
Organised by The Lawn Tennis Association in conjunction with Tate & Lyle
Commentators DAN MASKELL and JOHN BARRETT

2.25; 3.0 International Netball from the Empire Pool, Wembley: England v Trinidad and Tobago
This match is the climax of the month-long tour by the Trinidad and Tobago team. Currently ranked fourth in the world, they are assured of a tense struggle as the England team were runners-up in the World Championships last year.
Organised by the All England Netball Association in conjunction with Cussons Imperial Leather.
Commentator STUART STOREY
