(i) Leg bye: a run scored when the ball, not having touched the bat or the batter's hands, touches any part of the batter's body and the batters run, provided the batter was attempting to play the ball or avoid being hit. The run is added to the team's total as an extra. (ii) Leg before wicket (LBW): a batter is out when the ball, bowled by the bowler and not hitting the bat first, hits the batter's leg or body and would have gone on to hit the stumps. The ball must pitch in line or on the off side and must not pitch on the leg side of the stumps.
