Report on-fielder? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cover

This clue is a double definition.

'report on' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'fielder?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for cover that I've seen before include "(Put) lid (on) - fielding position - insurance" , "Disguise" , "Extend over (an area)" , "the point of cricket" , "Lid or shelter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
