Recovered in league following run (7)
I believe the answer is:
rallied
'recovered' is the definition.
(rallying is a kind of recovering)
'in league following run' is the wordplay.
'in league' becomes 'allied' (I've seen this before).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'allied' after 'r' is 'RALLIED'.
(Other definitions for rallied that I've seen before include "Made a recovery" , "Gathered" , "bounced back" , "(Of shares) increased in value after a fall" , "Met together for cause" .)
