International Test Cricket: England v India10am, Sky Sports 2

Final day of the second test, a contest which should see an improvement on last week's drab opener. Blame for that dull encounter has largely been aimed at the flat Trent Bridge pitch, though in truth neither outfit looked willing to show their hand at such an early stage. England will look for another strong batting performance from Joe Root, whose record-breaking 10th-wicket stand was one of the first test's few outstanding moments. Gwilym Mumford

John Bishop's Australia9pm, BBC1

The last in Bishop's bicycle odyssey around a country he first visited 20 years ago. Tonight, he trains with soldiers at a garrison town in Queensland, and meets a chapter of Vietnam veterans and bikers with a moving story to tell. In Undara, whose ancient forest dates back to a time when Australia was attached to Africa as part of a single land mass, he meets Indigenous Australian musician David Hudson. Good stuff, marred only by ill-advised attempts at humour and a dreadful David Attenborough impression. David Stubbs

Clothes To Die For9pm, BBC2

The 2013 Rana Plaza garment factory collapse in Bangladesh, in which more than 1,000 workers died, is the 21st century's worst industrial disaster. This documentary casts a look at the lives of the people (mostly women) who worked in the factory. The common story is one of female financial liberation turned horrifically sour in light of corruption and bad governance, multiplied by western corporate and consumer greed. It is a heartbreaking, sobering look at the effect on human lives of an industry worth £15bn. Bim Adewunmi

Royal Marines Commando School9pm, Channel 4

It's stage two of training, which we see largely through the eyes of two recruits. While sunny teenager Callum ("I'm pretty rubbish at generally everything") can't seem to take soldiering, or indeed anything, seriously, 31-year-old Magnus finds the physical challenges of training especially hard. It says much for the charm of both that you root for them as they struggle to make it through to a much-anticipated family day, when their nearest and dearest pay a visit. "That's a bayonet, Mum …" Jonathan Wright

Every Breath We Take: Understanding Our Atmosphere9pm, BBC4

An interesting assignment for chemist Gabrielle Walker: to present a romantic view of scientific things, then deconstruct it. Here she probes a question that was left unasked for 2,000 years: what is air? The ancient Greeks assumed it was one element, as did everyone else until 1754, when Dr Joseph Black made an important discovery. The age of enlightenment's "natural philosophers" continued to explore it – but a breakthrough was a while in coming. John Robinson

Virtually Famous10pm, E4

Glee's Kevin McHale hosts a new panel show devoted to things that go viral on the internet. Seann Walsh and Chris Stark are your team captains, buoyed by comedians Chris Ramsey and Romesh Ranganathan, plus Rachel Riley and Tyger Drew-Honey. Cat memes are great internet fodder, but don't always translate well to TV. Just as well there are giggles as Rachel explains Countdown to the American host, and the moment Seann takes on Romesh in a lip-synching challenge should get its own show. Hannah Verdier

Banshee10pm, Sky Atlantic

When the body of a Native American girl is found on Amish land, tensions quickly arise between the inhabitants of the nearby reservations and the Amish community, one of whose boys has also gone missing. Lucas uses his old con smarts to make his investigation, but is himself in danger of being exposed when the son of the man whose identity he assumed arrives in town. Banshee is watchable but a bit more moral complexity and emotional depth and fewer protracted, violent set-pieces would improve the series. DS

The Shooting Gallery12midnight, Channel 4

Two talent-packed offerings open the new series of this short film showcase. First up is comedian Spencer Brown's surreal fable The Boy with a Camera for a Face, which features Steven Berkoff narrating the life and subsequent celebrity of its title character. It is followed by director duo Bert & Bertie's oddly poignant 2012 film Worm, the tale of a man who has visions of his recently deceased father reincarnated as a soothsaying invertebrate, starring Robert Glenister and the always brilliant Tom Basden.
