Rule on fouled pitches and catcher’s protector rebound
The rule states that if a two strike batsman swings at a foul ball that hits the catcher's protector and bounds away, the batter is out only if the catcher gains possession before the ball touches the ground. If the ball momentarily lodges under the protector or uniform, the out is nullified even if caught before ground contact, with no delay in rebound to the catcher's hands.
