Next day, a more shortened line (6)
I believe the answer is:
morrow
'next day' is the definition.
'morrow' can be an answer for 'day' (morrow is a kind of day). I'm not certain of the 'next' bit.
'a more shortened line' is the wordplay.
'shortened' means to remove the last letter.
'line' becomes 'row' (row is a kind of line).
'more' with its last letter taken off is 'mor'.
'mor'+'row'='MORROW'
