Look round over leg in play (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ogle

'look' is the definition.
(ogling is a kind of looking)

'round over leg in play' is the wordplay.
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation**).
'in play' is an anagram indicator.
'leg' is an anagram of 'gle'.
'o' going inside 'gle' is 'OGLE'.

(Other definitions for ogle that I've seen before include "as lecher might do?" , "Perv" , "Stare at in a lecherous manner" , "Close scrutiny" , "Cast flirtatious glances at" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
