Exaggerate aspect of proceedings from Lord's gallery? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overstate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'exaggerate' is the definition.
('overstate' can be a synonym of 'exaggerate')

'aspect of proceedings from lord's gallery?' is the wordplay.
'aspect of proceedings from lord's' becomes 'overs' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'gallery?' becomes 'tate' (I've seen this before).
'overs'+'tate'='OVERSTATE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overstate that I've seen before include "Exaggerate, go beyond bounds of truth" , "Exaggerate, make too much of" , "lay it on thick" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
