Run joint and cause resentment (6)
I believe the answer is:
rankle
'cause resentment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'run joint' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'joint' becomes 'ankle' (ankle is a kind of joint).
'r'+'ankle'='RANKLE'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for rankle that I've seen before include "Continue vexing" , "Nag" , "Cause lasting bitterness or upset" , "Cause ill-feeling" , "Go on irritating" .)
