Place under batting data (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

input

'data' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'place under batting' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'put' (synonyms).
'under' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'batting' becomes 'in' (as in batting or being 'in' in cricket).
'put' after 'in' is 'INPUT'.

(Other definitions for input that I've seen before include "Insertion of data" , "Data contributed" , "supply" , "Provision of data" , "Data etc supplied to computer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
