Live game's beginning: runs written in for scorer? (4)
I believe the answer is:
berg
'scorer?' is the definition.
(20th Century Austrian composer)
'live game's beginning runs written in' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'beginning' says to take the initial letters.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'written in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
The initial letter of 'game' is 'g'.
'be'+'g'='beg'
'beg' placed around 'r' is 'BERG'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for berg that I've seen before include "Viennese composer" , "South African hill - Austrian composer" , "Mountain; Alban --, composer" , "Lump of ice" , "Austrian composer of 12-tone music, d. 1935" .)
