Left it blazing? (3)

I believe the answer is:

lit

'blazing?' is the definition.

'left it' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'l'+'it'='LIT'

(Other definitions for lit that I've seen before include "Enlightened" , "Settled" , "Fired" , "books etc?" , "landed here" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
