Just one delivery, then away for a rest (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

off break

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'just one delivery' is the definition.
'off break' can be an answer for 'delivery' (cricket). I am unsure of the 'just one' bit.

'away for a rest' is the wordplay.
'away' becomes 'off' (synonyms).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a rest' becomes 'break' (I've seen this before).
'off'+'break'='OFF-BREAK'

'then' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for off break that I've seen before include "Spinner's delivery" , "One result of bowling" , "Ball" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
