Timed outAccording to the Laws of Cricket, when a batsman is dismissed and a team is not "all out", the next batsman is given three minutes to report to the pitch and be ready to receive (or partner, if the incoming batsman is not on strike) the next delivery. If the time passes and the batsman is not in position, the fielding team can appeal to the umpire to rule the new batsman out "timed out".

A batsman running for a run and fielder throws the ball to the wicket and hits it before the batsman completes the run is run out in cricket.
