Test cricket, for example, filled with pressure (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inspect

'test' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cricket for example filled with pressure' is the wordplay.
'cricket for example' becomes 'insect' (cricket is a kind of insect).
'filled with' indicates putting letters inside.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'insect' enclosing 'p' is 'INSPECT'.

(Other definitions for inspect that I've seen before include "Study" , "vet" , "Look critically at" , "Check" , "Ecamine closely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
