The sporting week reaches a frenetic crescendo on Sunday as the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow stages its final day of competition and the AIG Women’s Open plays its concluding round at Royal Lytham and St Annes. Broadcasters have assembled a stacked schedule that will carry British viewers from early-morning snooker through to late-night tennis.
Glasgow curtain call — medals, track and ceremony

Either way, Sunday promises to be a rare televisual buffet for sports fans, with early starts and late finishes to satisfy nearly every taste.
