See cricket perhaps missing runs (4)
I believe the answer is:
spot
'see' is the definition.
(to spot is to notice or catch sight of)
'cricket perhaps missing runs' is the wordplay.
'cricket perhaps' becomes 'sport' (cricket is a kind of sport).
'missing' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'sport' with 'r' removed is 'SPOT'.
(Other definitions for spot that I've seen before include "Blob" , "Small round mark" , "make out" , "Mark - position - perceive" , "Drop of rain" .)
