How do I record wides, no balls, byes and leg byes, and do they count as balls faced?

From the umpire signals and Stage 2 Match Day Rules:
- Wide: both arms out horizontally. One extra run to the batting side, and the delivery is re-bowled.
- No ball: one arm out horizontally. One extra run to the batting side, and the delivery is re-bowled.
- Bye: one arm raised vertically. An extra run to the team total, not to the batter.
- Leg bye: a leg lifted and patted. An extra run to the team total, not to the batter.
- Four: arm swept side to side. Six: both arms raised.
- Short run: a tap on one shoulder. Disregard last call: arms crossed on the chest, tapping both shoulders.
Ball counts: regardless of wides or no balls, every delivery counts in the batter's ball count towards their retirement limit. An over is 6 balls, but wides and no balls are re-bowled up to a maximum of 8 balls in an over.
PlayHQ requires extras to be entered by type for each innings.
