A batsman may be dismissed Run out whether or not a run is being attempted, even if the delivery is a no ball (ie not a fair delivery). There are a number of exceptions to this:

(1) A batsman is not given out (either run out or stumped) if 'no ball' is called, but had the ball been a fair delivery the batsman would have been out stumped.

(2) A batsman is not run out if he or his bat had been grounded behind the popping crease, but he subsequently leaves it to avoid injury, when the wicket is put down.

(3) A batsman is not run out if the ball has not been touched by a fielder (excluding a helmet worn by a fielder), after the bowler has entered his delivery stride, before the wicket is put down.

(4) A batsman is not given out Run out if he can be given out Stumped.

The batsman who is out Run out is the batsman who is closest to the end where the wicket has been put down. The runs completed before a Run out are still scored by the batsman and his team (compare caught where the reverse is true). The bowler does not get credit for the wicket.
