Fan missing first part of Test match (4)
I believe the answer is:
over
'part of test match' is the definition.
(cricket)
'fan missing first' is the wordplay.
'fan' becomes 'lover' (synonyms).
'missing first' means to remove the first letter.
'lover' with its first letter taken away is 'OVER'.
(Other definitions for over that I've seen before include "Finished -- as a remainder" , "Accomplished" , "Completely ended" , "Beyond; finished" , "balls > left" .)
