If a ball in play cannot be found or recovered any fieldsman may
call "lost ball" when 6 runs shall be added to the score; but if
more than 6 have been run before "lost ball" is called, as many
runs as have been completed shall be scored. The run in progress
shall count provided that the Batsmen have crossed at the instant
of the call of "lost ball".
2. How Scored
The runs shall be added to the score of the Striker if the ball
has been struck, but otherwise to the score of byes, leg-byes,
no-balls or wides as the case may be.
