Commotion in street - I run (4)
I believe the answer is:
stir
'commotion' is the definition.
('stir' can be a synonym of 'commotion')
'street i run' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st'.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'st'+'i'+'r'='STIR'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for stir that I've seen before include "Prison (sl.); agitate" , "Slight movement" , "Sensation" , "Excite emotionally" , "Commotion; wake" .)
