Extend beyond time showing cricket terms (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overrun

This might be a double definition.

'extend beyond time' is the first definition.
(to overrun is to go beyond an allotted time)

'cricket terms' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'showing' is the link.

(Other definitions for overrun that I've seen before include "Exceed (allowed cost/time)" , "area beyond end of airstrip" , "Inundate, infest" , "Flood" , "Exceed (allowed time/cost)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
