Editing Timed out (section)

===Test cricket matches===

No batter has been dismissed timed out in [[Test cricket]] as of November 2023, but there are some notable incidents where a batter could have potentially been dismissed in this manner:

# During the third Test at [[Cape Town]]'s [[Newlands Cricket Ground]] of the [[Indian cricket team in South Africa in 2006–07#Third Test .282.E2.80.936 January.29|2006–2007 series]] between [[India national cricket team|India]] and [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]], India quickly lost two opening batters at the start of their second innings. [[Sachin Tendulkar]] was listed as the fourth batter, but as he had been replaced as a fielder for 18 minutes at the end of South Africa's first innings, he was ineligible to bat in India's second innings until another 18 minutes had expired from its commencement. After confusion in the Indian dressing room about Tendulkar's ineligibility resulting in a six-minute delay, [[Sourav Ganguly]] came in as the next batter. South African captain [[Graeme Smith]] did not appeal for a "timed out" dismissal of the incoming batter as the Umpires had told him it would not be entertained due to confusing information given by the match referee regarding Tendulkar's short suspension, and Ganguly was allowed to commence his innings.<ref name="ESPNcricinfo - 5 January 2007 - Out of sight, out of time">{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/rsavind/content/story/275283.html|title=Out of sight, out of time|author=Dileep Premachandran|date=5 January 2007|work=[[ESPNcricinfo]]|publisher=[[ESPN Inc.]]|accessdate=17 March 2015}}</ref>
# During the second Test in the [[2023 Ashes series]], Australian player [[Nathan Lyon]] suffered a severe calf injury while fielding that prevented him from moving at a normal pace. During the Australian second innings he decided to take his place as the final batter and to avoid the potential for England to appeal and have him dismissed by a time out, Lyon moved closer to the field than the Australian players pavilion so he could hobble onto the ground within the time limit. He avoided being timed out, scoring 4 runs before he was dismissed.
