enticed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tempted' is the definition.
('entice' can be a synonym of 'tempt')

'a yorker in the final' is the wordplay.
'a yorker' becomes 'tice' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in the' is an insertion indicator.
'final' becomes 'end' (synonyms).
'tice' put into 'end' is 'ENTICED'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enticed that I've seen before include "were seductive" , "Persuaded with attractive offer" , "Tempted, lured" , "Given inducement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
