Bowled:

If the bowler’s delivery of the ball sends into the stump of the  batsman and at least one bail can be removed, the batsman is declared out. Essentially, a batsman is bowled out when he can’t protect his stumps from the bowler.

If the ball strikes the batsman instead of hitting the stumps not been impeded by the batsman’s  body, the umpire declares  the batsman out LBW provided the fielding team invite for it. Though, it is a bit complicated, at any rate, the ball must  hit the body of the batsman  before it touches his bat or glove.

Run Out
