Run out: the batters are attempting a run and no part of the batter's bat or body is grounded behind the popping crease when a fielder breaks the stumps. A batter can be run out off a wide. This is your call at the striker's end, once the fielding side appeals.
Stumpings are never given out in Stage 1. If the keeper breaks the stumps while the batter is out of their crease and not running, it's not out.
In Stage 1 the batter isn't sent off: they keep batting and the dismissal is worth 4 runs to the bowling team. After a run out the batters stay where they are.
