I'm trying the FT crossword for the first time in ages - with only about half done so far. Some help might give me a push.
6D is "restrained Tory was abusive on line (10)". I have just ????r?????
5D is "afflicted by the runs (8)". I have just ????e???
Suggestions will be appreciated.

6 Controlled
6d Tory = CON + TROLLED = abusive on line
5 increases? In creases
5 maybe laddered as in stockings etc
Laddered looks best, I've just picked up the grid again
I was thinking of 'laddered' but 'afflicted' seems a bit strong
The stockings may be afflicted?.
