Once the bowler has done this no more runs can be scored.

A no-ball and 2 runs will be awarded to the batting team if the bowlers bowl bounces more than twice or if a ball goes above the batsman s waist height. A batter cannot be dismissed from a no ball. A no-ball will be an award of two runs to the batting team plus any additional runs but no extra balls will be bowled at the end of the over except in the last over of the innings.
