England's first slip gets run out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elapse

'run out' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'england's first slip' is the wordplay.
'first' says to take the initial letters.
'slip' becomes 'lapse' (lapsing is a kind of slipping**).
The initial letter of 'englands' is 'e'.
'e'+'lapse'='ELAPSE'

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for elapse that I've seen before include "Tick by" , "Slip away" , "(Of time) go by" , "run by" , "Pass away - asleep (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
