Brief violent disturbance in match report? That is probably exaggerated (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
tall story
'brief violent disturbance in match' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'report? that is probably exaggerated' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'report?' could be 'story' (story is a kind of report) and 'story' is present in the answer.
'exaggerated' could be 'tall' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'tall' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tall story that I've seen before include "romance?" , "unreliable account" , "Exaggerated tale" , "Distortion of the truth" , "Exaggerated and incredible yarn" .)
