Last one, and I'm tired. 32d "White haricot beans" C_N_L_I_I Thought it must be a different spelling of 'cannelini', but can't find it anywhere. Are any of my letters wrong? Thanks in advance

Last round-up; 9d 'A net across a river to trap elvers' (3-3). E-L -E- Can't find an alternative to 'eel-net', but it'd be unusual. Thanks
