Explanation

Under Law 21.5 of cricket, if a bowler runs on the protected area of the pitch (the central strip), they receive warnings. After the first instance, a final warning is given. On the third instance (second after the warning), the bowler is suspended from bowling further in that innings. The ball is called dead and no runs are scored.
