Provide evidence for visiting Lord's perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attest

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'visiting lord's perhaps' is the wordplay.
'visiting' becomes 'at'.
'lord's perhaps' becomes 'test' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'at'+'test'='ATTEST'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for attest that I've seen before include "Declare to be true or genuine" , "Adjure" , "Sign on" , "University town" , "Vouch for" .)
