Crossword Genius

Test match? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trial

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'test' is the first definition.
('trial' can be a synonym of 'test')

'match?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for trial that I've seen before include "competition" , "Judicial examination" , "Court appearance on charge - it's an ordeal" , "Test to determine guilt or innocence" , "Test of suitability" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
