They sit on stumps in Bali's redevelopment (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bails

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

'they sit on stumps' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'bali's redevelopment' is the wordplay.
'redevelopment' indicates an anagram.
'balis' anagrammed gives 'BAILS'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bails that I've seen before include "Scoops water from boat" , "Wicket crosspieces" , "Part of wicket" .)
