In cricket, a run scored other than by hitting the ball with the bat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extra

(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "Bit actor in film" , "special edition of the paper" , "A bit on the side" , "Cricket run; unusually" , "Wide, no-ball, leg bye, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
