Match action (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suit

This clue is a double definition.

'match' is the first definition.
(I know that suit is a more specific form of match)

'action' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for suit that I've seen before include "clubs, for example" , "C, D, H or S" , "Formal clothing" , "Hearts, maybe" , "Spades, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
