Seconds away from late run on Echo cutting journalist's top line (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
halter neck
'seconds away' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'late run on echo cutting journalist's top line' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'late' is 'alte' which is located in the answer.
'run' could be 'r' (cricket abbreviation) and 'r' is present in the answer.
'echo' could be 'e' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'e' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for halter neck that I've seen is " revealing clothes".)
