Go berserk in high-scoring Lord’s game? (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

run riot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'go berserk' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'high-scoring lord's game?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'game?' could be 'ru' (rugby union) and 'ru' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for run riot that I've seen before include "Behave unrestrainedly" , "Act wildly" , "Grow profusely (of plants)" , "Raise hell" , "Behave wildly and without restraint" .)
