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

Starring Donald Sutherland, Francine Racette, David Hemmings, David Warner

Jay Mallory, a top operative in a field that has no margins for error - the murky world of international contract murder - returns to his Montreal apartment to find his wife Celandine is missing. The organisation expects Mallory to carry out his next assignment, but he is now totally preoccupied with his wife's disappearance. Donald Sutherland stars as the contract killer who faces dangerous dilemmas and a web of intrigue in this itmospheric and unusual thriller.

"It is a film of memorable individuality, leaping from shattering violence to melancholy introspection, photographed with nightmarish vividness ... and it gives Sutherland an opportunity for one of his most deeply felt performances." (THE SUNDAY TIMES)
"...a weird, beautifully composed film which makes handsome use of its wintry Canadian and Suffolk locations." (DAILY MAIL)
