Resinous substance in part of cricket field (5)
I believe the answer is:
pitch
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'resinous substance' is the first definition.
(pitch is a resinous substance)
'part of cricket field' is the second definition.
(strip of ground between the stumps in cricket)
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for pitch that I've seen before include "Erect (tent); steepness of roof" , "lurch about in the waves?" , "Tarry stuff for football field?" , "Level of intensity" , "Street seller's location" .)
