First-rate report (5)

I believe the answer is:

crack

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'first-rate' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'report' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for crack that I've seen before include "Witticism" , "Very skilful" , "Narrow opening, break" , "Opening; sharp blow" , "Break; gap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Irish Independent.
