10. Runs scored when a batsman is dismissed
11. Runs scored when ball becomes dead
12. Batsman returning to wicket he has left
(a) Before the toss, the umpires shall agree the boundary of the field of play with
both captains. The boundary shall if possible be marked along its whole length.
(b) The boundary shall be agreed so that no part of any sight-screen is within the
field of play.
(c) An obstacle or person within the field of play shall not be regarded as a
boundary unless so decided by the umpires before the toss. See Law 3.4(ii) (To
inform captains and scorers).
Notwithstanding 1 above, or any other provisions elsewhere in the Laws, the
scoring of runs or awarding of penalties will be subject to any disallowance of
runs provided for within the Laws that may be applicable.
(a) A run is short if a batsman fails to make good his ground on turning for a
further run.
(b) Although a short run shortens the succeeding one, the latter if completed shall
not be regarded as short. A striker taking stance in front of his popping crease
may run from that point also without penalty.
Except in the circumstances of 5 below,
(a) if either batsman runs a short run, unless a boundary is scored the umpire
concerned shall call and signal Short run as soon as the ball becomes dead and
that run shall not be scored.
(b) if, after either or both batsmen run short, a boundary is scored, the umpire
concerned shall disregard the short running and shall not call or signal Short run.
(c) if both batsmen run short in one and the same run, this shall be regarded as
only one short run.
(d) if more than one run is short then, subject to (b) and (c) above, all runs so
called shall not be scored.
If there has been more than one short run the umpire shall inform the scorers as to
the number of runs scored.
(a) Notwithstanding 4 above, if either umpire considers that either or both
batsmen deliberately run short at his end, the following procedure shall be
adopted.
(i) The umpire concerned shall, when the ball is dead, warn the batsman
or batsmen that the practice is unfair, indicate that this is a first and
final warning and inform the other umpire of what has occurred.
(ii) The batsmen shall return to their original ends.
(iii) Whether a batsman is dismissed or not, the umpire at the bowler’s end
shall disallow all runs to the batting side from that delivery other than
the penalty for a No ball or Wide, or penalties under Laws 42.5
(Deliberate distraction or obstruction of batsman) and 42.13 (Fielders
damaging the pitch), if applicable.
(iv) The umpire at the bowler’s end shall inform the scorers as to the
number of runs scored.
(b) If there is any further instance of deliberate short running by either of the same
batsmen in that innings, when the ball is dead the umpire concerned shall inform
the other umpire of what has occurred and the procedure set out in (a)(ii) and (iii)
above shall be repeated. Additionally, the umpire at the bowler’s end shall
(i) award 5 penalty runs to the fielding side. See Law 42.17 (Penalty
runs).
(ii) inform the scorers as to the number of runs scored.
(iii) inform the batsmen, the captain of the fielding side and, as soon as
practicable, the captain of the batting side of the reason for this action.
(iv) report the occurrence, with the other umpire, to the Executive of the
batting side and any Governing Body responsible for the match, who
shall take such action as is considered appropriate against the captain
and player or players concerned.
Runs shall be scored for penalties under 5 above and Laws 2.6 (Player returning
without permission), 24 (No ball), 25 (Wide ball), 41.2 (Fielding the ball), 41.3
(Protective helmets belonging to the fielding side) and 42 (Fair and unfair play).
Runs shall be scored for boundary allowances under Law 19 (Boundaries).
Runs shall be scored when Lost ball is called under Law 20 (Lost ball).
When either batsman is dismissed
(a) any penalties to either side that may be applicable shall stand but no other runs
shall be scored, except as stated in 10 below. Note, however, Law 42.17(b)
(Penalty runs).
(b) 12(a) below will apply if the method of dismissal is Caught, Handled the ball
or Obstructing the field. 12(a) will also apply if a batsman is Run out, except in
the circumstances of Law 2.8 (Transgression of the Laws by a batsman who has a
runner) where 12(b) below will apply.
(c) the not out batsman shall return to his original end except as stated in (b)
above.
10. Runs scored when a batsman is dismissed
In addition to any penalties to either side that may be applicable, if a batsman is
(a) dismissed Handled the ball, the batting side shall score the runs completed
before the offence.
(b) dismissed Obstructing the field, the batting side shall score the runs completed
before the offence.
If, however, the obstruction prevents a catch from being made, no runs other than
penalties shall be scored.
(c) dismissed Run out, the batting side shall score the runs completed before the
dismissal.
If, however, a striker with a runner is himself dismissed Run out, no runs other
than penalties shall be scored. See Law 2.8 (Transgression of the Laws by a
batsman who has a runner).

laid down in 9 and 10 above.

is called dead by an umpire, unless there is specific provision otherwise in the
Laws, the batting side shall be credited with
(i) all runs completed by the batsmen before the incident or call
and (ii) the run in progress if the batsmen have crossed at the instant of the
incident or call. Note specifically, however, the provisions of Laws
34.4(c) (Runs permitted from ball lawfully struck more than once) and
42.5(b)(iii) (Deliberate distraction or obstruction of batsman).
and (iii) any penalties that are applicable.

return to the wicket he has left, except as in (b) below.
(b) The batsmen shall return to the wickets they originally left in the cases of, and
only in the cases of
(i) a boundary;
(ii) disallowance of runs for any reason;
(iii) the dismissal of a batsman, except as in 9(b) above.
