???O

Also 55a Old warning dismissing energy with mens' ground-breaking device (9) T?????T?R

10d Where users of Roman roads rarely drive? That's crazy (5,3,4) R???? ?H? ??N?

52 Echo- Eco round H

10 Round the bend

52. Ec H o

55 excavator

ex cav(e)at OR (men)

Thank you so much, jazzgirl. Crossword appears done but still haven't been able to parse these two confidently so think they may be wrong.
56a Where crickeTER finally DIps iNTo wine BefoRe GamE? (5,6) TRENT BRIDGE ?

50d Went fifty-fifty, avoiding a scrap (5) SHRED

both correct

56 sh(a) red

56 (crickete) R
dips into TENT (wine)
game : bridge

Blow me, I'm a wine connoisseur of sorts, and I've never heard of tent as a wine, but now I see it's a Spanish wine related to "tinto". Trouble is I don't use a dictionary much when I'm doing the crossword but just use my memory and occasionally the "quick solve" on this web site. Next week I'll use the dictionary more. Many thanks, jazzgirl
