Asian draw reported (4)
I believe the answer is:
thai
'asian' is the definition.
(from Thailand)
'draw reported' is the wordplay.
'draw' becomes 'tie' (synonyms).
'reported' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'tie' is a homophone of 'THAI'.
(Other definitions for thai that I've seen before include "Indo-Chinese language" , "From Bangkok, for instance" , "Native to Phuket, for example" , "Morte d'16author" , "Asian language" .)
