Next day, a more shortened line (6)
I believe the answer is:
morrow
'next day' is the definition.
'morrow' can be an answer for 'day' (morrow is a kind of day). I am unsure of the 'next' bit.
'a more shortened line' is the wordplay.
'shortened' means to remove the last letter.
'line' becomes 'row' (a row or line of things).
'more' with its final letter taken away is 'mor'.
'mor'+'row'='MORROW'
