Was no one else confused by the miss-print of 'Gr ace' in 15d?
For a long time I thought this might represent a frustrated or suspended climax. It therefore suggested an answer for which the first four letters could easily relate to dip(ping).

23 I didn't have the UK GK to parse, but guessed from crossers. See a1phil@11.
Parses as 3, 1, 3. Definition "one puts the music down".

15: definition "with grace"; parses 4, 4 where the second 4 is a reversal.

Tough. Filled the grid but I didn’t understand a few. Thanks Jono for the explanation of 11a, and the type for 18d. Last one in 22d which made me groan - cakes, okay…
Can anyone explain the wordplay 13a and 20a?

Hi gamma
Not sure about 13, but Google your answer for 20 - Wiki will elucidate. The parsing includes another cricket reference (reversed).
