no ball

Cricket umpire's call

In cricket, a no ball is an illegal delivery by the bowler—typically for overstepping the crease, throwing rather than bowling, or bowling dangerously.

The batting team receives an extra run, and the ball must be bowled again.

The umpire called no ball after the bowler's front foot landed beyond the line.
