Edition of newspaper - English Times - reflected skill (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extra

'edition of newspaper' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'english times reflected skill' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'times' becomes 'x' (2 times 4 is 2 x 4).
'reflected' is a reversal indicator (letters reflected back).
'skill' becomes 'art' (both can mean a talent).
'art' written backwards gives 'tra'.
'e'+'x'+'tra'='EXTRA'

(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "Additional, more than expected" , "Additional - bye" , "Wide, no-ball, leg bye, etc" , "Especially" , "Ancillary" .)
