Shots from England cricketer securing runs (7)

I believe the answer is:

strokes

'shots' is the definition.
(I know this)

'england cricketer securing runs' is the wordplay.
'england cricketer' becomes 'Stokes' (Ben Stokes).
'securing' is an insertion indicator.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'stokes' enclosing 'r' is 'STROKES'.

'from' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
