The woman and man run after (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

her

'the woman' is the definition.
('her' refers to a woman)

'man run after' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'he'+'r'='HER'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for her that I've seen before include "That lady" , "That lady's" , "Belonging to a female" , "The female's" , "She, objectively" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
