Stands and delays (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stalls

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'stands' is the first definition.
(eg stands or stalls at a market)

'delays' is the second definition.
(stalling is a kind of delaying)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for stalls that I've seen before include "Deliberately delays" , "Plays for time" , "Cuts out in parterre?" , "Part of theatre" , "Stops suddenly like engine out of fuel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
