Examine pressure getting into cricket? (7)
I believe the answer is:
inspect
'examine' is the definition.
(inspecting is a kind of examining)
'pressure getting into cricket?' is the wordplay.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'getting into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cricket?' becomes 'insect' (cricket is a kind of insect).
'p' put into 'insect' is 'INSPECT'.
(Other definitions for inspect that I've seen before include "Go over" , "Assess; examine" , "Look critically at" , "vet" , "test" .)
