Hello all, Is anyone else struggling with the extra on-line cryptic crossword today. I can't even get started. It's apparently puzzle number 25,762 from 1961 so perhaps they thought differently in those days (I was only 1 at the time!). If anyone could help with the following that would be great and might even kick start me into action.

1A - A swipe at Lord's is positively incandescent xxTxxING

15D - What the gate-crasher can't do 4-4 but I haven't got any letters

Thanks ever so much

I am not finding it easy at all. Have managed 4d & 26 ac, with guesses at 2d and 11ac!

Gaperon - what have you got for 26a - I have nothing in there at all yet. We think we've got 1d, 2d, 3d, 4d, 29d and 21d as well as 1a, 9a, 10a, 11a, 25a and 27a so doing a bit better now. Still a long way to go though!

Thanks mallyh

were my answers any good ?

I think batswing is OK but not sure about open door as I've not got any of the across answers from it to "prove" it.
