Pulls grass up (5)
I believe the answer is:
draws
'pulls' is the definition.
(I know this)
'grass up' is the wordplay.
'grass' becomes 'sward' (literary term for grass).
'up' is a reversal indicator (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'sward' reversed gives 'DRAWS'.
(Other definitions for draws that I've seen before include "Match results without winners" , "Sketches" , "proves alluring" , "Gets out" , "lugs" .)
