Fielder for one second blocking rising ball (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leg slip

'fielder' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for leg slip that I've seen before include "On-side fielder" , "that may be found in field" , "Cricketer" , "Fielding position" , "One hoping to hold ball" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
