Needing to go at once, way to get out direct (6,5)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

6

6,5

caught short

'needing to go at once' is the definition.
(to be caught short is to need to urinate)

'way to get out direct' is the wordplay.
'way to get out' becomes 'caught' (catching is a way to get a player out in cricket).
'direct' becomes 'short'.
'caught'+'short'='CAUGHT SHORT'
