Run right into the chopper, turning (5)
I believe the answer is:
extra
'run' is the definition.
(cricket run)
'right into the chopper turning' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the chopper' becomes 'axe' (something which chops).
'turning' is a reversal indicator.
'rt' placed inside 'axe' is 'artxe'.
'artxe' written backwards gives 'EXTRA'.
(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "eg Wide; additional" , "Player taking little part" , "Crowd-scene actor" , "wide? It could be" , "additional supplies" .)
