Shots of Surrey opener stir the Oval (5)
I believe the answer is:
salvo
'shots' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'surrey opener stir the oval' is the wordplay.
'opener' says to take the initial letters.
'stir' indicates an anagram.
The initial letter of 'surrey' is 's'.
'oval' with letters rearranged gives 'alvo'.
's'+'alvo'='SALVO'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for salvo that I've seen before include "Rapid simultaneous shooting" , "A volley of shots, perhaps as salute" , "Simultaneous artillery fire" , "Firing of guns as a salute" , "Fiery outburst" .)
