Minimal runs in an international match, still (2,4)
I believe the answer is:
at rest
'still' is the definition.
('at rest' can be a synonym of 'still')
'minimal runs in an international match' is the wordplay.
'minimal' indicates taking the first letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'international match' becomes 'test' (I've seen this before).
The initial letter of 'runs' is 'r'.
'a'+'test'='atest'
'r' put within 'atest' is 'AT REST'.
(Other definitions for at rest that I've seen before include "late" , "Still" , "Not moving, free from trouble - maybe dead" , "Treats (anag.)" , "Immobile" .)
