13. The ball shall be bowled in overs of five balls from each wicket alternately. When five balls have been bowled and the ball is finally settled in the bowler’s or wicket-keeper’s hands, the umpire shall call “Over.” Neither a “no ball” nor a “wide ball” shall be reckoned as one of the “over.”
14. The bowler shall be allowed to change ends as often as he pleases, provided only that he does not bowl two overs consecutively in one innings.
15. The bowler may require the batsman at the wicket from which he is bowling to stand on that side of it which he may direct.
16. The striker may hit a “no-ball,” and whatever runs result shall be added to his score; but he shall not be out from a “no ball,” unless he be run out, or break Laws 26, 27, 29, 30. All runs made from a “no-ball,” otherwise than from the bat, shall be scored “no-balls,” and if no run be made one run shall be added to that score. From a “wide ball” as many runs as are run shall be added to the score as “wide balls,” and if no run be otherwise obtained one run shall be so added.
17. If the ball, not having been called “wide” or “no-ball,” pass the striker, without touching his bat or person, and any runs be obtained, the umpire shall call “Bye;” but if the ball touch any part of the striker’s person (hand excepted) and any run be obtained, the umpire shall call “Leg-bye,” such runs to be scored “byes” and “leg-byes” respectively.
18. At the beginning of the match, and of each innings, the umpire at the bowler’s wicket shall call “Play;” from that time no trial ball shall be allowed to any bowler on the ground between the wickets, and when one of the batsman is out the use of the bat shall not be allowed to any person until the next batsman shall come in.
19. A batsman shall be held to be “out of his ground” unless his bat in hand or some part of his person be grounded within the line of the popping crease.
20. The wicket shall be held to be “down” when either of the bails is struck off, or, if both bails be off, when a stump is struck out of the ground.
The striker is out:
21. If the wicket be bowled down, even if the ball first touch the striker’s bat or person:—“Bowled.”
