Bowled slow break for game (5)
I believe the answer is:
bowls
'game' is the definition.
(bowls is a kind of game)
'bowled slow break' is the wordplay.
'bowled' becomes 'b' (cricket abbreviation).
'break' indicates an anagram.
'slow' with letters rearranged gives 'owls'.
'b'+'owls'='BOWLS'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for bowls that I've seen before include "Game; vessels" , "Throws or rolls a ball" , "Rolls smoothly along the ground" , "Game played on green" , "Kitchen vessels" .)
