Ended innings as stated (8)

I believe the answer is:

declared

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

'stated' is the definition.
(I know that stated can be written as declared)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for declared that I've seen before include "Announced publicly" , "Announced formally" , "Named the trump suit in card game" , "Closed an innings" , "Announced, proclaimed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
