For professional matches, often one or more of the stumps is hollow and contains a small television camera. This is aligned vertically, but can view through a small window on the side of the stump via a mirror. The so-called stump-cam gives a unique view of play for action replays, particularly when a batsman is bowled. We've been made painfully aware that certain aspects of the scorecard are no longer important. But recognition of individual and team scores are limited.

As per the law, both edges of the bail need to be dislodged, with the batsman short of his crease for him to be adjudged run out. Law 29.1.1.5 states: To summarise the entire process, an inductive loop is created along with an inductive sensor, which detects any change in inductance. The lights glow as soon as a change is detected. Each bail has two inductive loops; one for each of the arms. These inductive loops fit perfectly on the rim of the stumps and as soon as a movement is detected from the stump rim, the bails glow. Australia v West Indies, Trent Bridge.

Five times in 13 games since the tournament started a bowler has hit the stumps and the electronic 'zing' bails have lit up but stayed firmly in place. At times, this felt like a child-friendly Twenty20 Cup greatest hits. No hot tubs or Ferris wheels, but many other bells and whistles. Zing stumps have completely changed the way we look at stumpings and run outs. Since both stumpings and run outs are dependent on whether or not the bails have been completely dislodged, and in case of close calls, two people might have divergent views, the use of zing bails helps in increasing accuracy to a great extent because the bails glow only when they are completely dislodged from the stump rims, thereby making it easier for the third umpires and spectators alike, while taking decisions. But a lot of people haven't been impressed, from former bowlers... Ex-Pakistan pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar tweeted his disbelief

In Williamson’s case, without the use of zing bails the third umpire trusted his eye and with the replays shown and the laws in place, there could be little argument against the decision made. However, with LED bails in use, the decision could easily have gone the other way. Topics Off Stump". Sports Definitions.com. Archived from the original on 15 March 2013 . Retrieved 11 July 2012.

If a batsman is out of their ground (that is, no part of their body or bat is behind the popping crease, the line in front of the stumps) whilst attempting to take a run, they are run out. These names are relative to the batsman, so a right-handed batsman's leg stump becomes the off stump when a left-handed player is batting.
