Crossword Genius

Bend down, getting no score (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

duck

This clue is a triple definition!

'bend down' is the first definition.

'getting' acts as a link.

'no' is the second definition.
(duck means zero in cricket)

'score' is the third definition.
(duck is a kind of score)

(Other definitions for duck that I've seen before include "Evade - bird" , "sporting failure" , "Bob" , "Swimming bird" , "poor score?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
