Find two on a wicket (4)

I believe the answer is:

bail

(Other definitions for bail that I've seen before include "Scoop water out of (a boat)" , "Temporary release of one awaiting trial" , "One of two on the stumps" , "Piece placed on top of cricket stumps" , "Temporary release of an accused person on conditions" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
