Two clues I think I've solved but can't understand logic.
19a. Beasts hold back short grey element (6) O?Y?E?
I have ORYXES and E affects first letter of 20d (I believe OS is derived from element Osmium and oryx is a beast)

20d. One after another (6) E?E?E?N
First letter E dependent on 19a being correct
I have ELEVEN but can't understand why or the logic of the clue

Thanks

Oxygen
One= 1 and then another one = 1, so you have 11 (eleven)
20 1 followed by another 1 = Eleven
Oxygen- g(re)y reversed inside Oxen(beasts)
Eleven written as 11 is one after another
19d Oxygen (element) - 'oxen' (hold) 'g(re)y' (back)
20d Eleven - 11 - 1 after another (1)
