Hastily make approach (3-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

run-up

This clue is a double definition.

'hastily make' is the first definition.
(to produce or fix quickly)

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

(Other definitions for run-up that I've seen before include "Preliminary period" , "Bowler's approach?" , "Cricketing approach?" , "Approach - preliminaries" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
