Crossword Genius

Crowd-scene actor in run (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extra

I believe this is a double definition.

'crowd-scene actor' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'run' is the second definition.
(cricket run)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "Spare" , "Studio crowd player" , "E.g. wide in cricket" , "Sundry" , "lesser player" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
