T20 CRICKET Glamorgan v Somerset, 6.45pm, Sky Sports 2

COMIC-BOOK MOVIE Ant-Man, 8pm, Sky Premiere

THE latest Marvel hero is a bit smaller than all the others — but he’s no less heroic. Buffed-up Paul Rudd (pictured) is the thief who crosses paths with the original Ant-Man when he steals his special suit and puts it on — and finds that his strength increases as he decreases . . .

U.S. DETECTIVE Unforgetta­ble, 9pm, Sky Living
