26a Pitch is old- resolve to score runs (5). I have pec?e.

PECKER (resolve) with R (runs) 'scored' (ie rubbed out) = PECKE, Shakespearean form of 'peck', to pitch.

Pecke is an old Shakespearean word meaning 'pitch' - I don't know how the rest of the clue works!

Thank you, Jacknatter and Malone. Much obliged.

Last one - 21d, Elegance about to depart - aged goddess; I have ?RA?AE, any ideas?

Graeae. (Grace = elegance and the 'c' for about/circa goes). It's plural, goddesses - which I think was what the clue had?

Many thanks Malone. Can send it in now!
