13. Runs resulting from a No ball †“ how scored

Ah, I see what you're getting at, but it's not quite the same thing.
With the no ball going to the boundary, there are two *separate* events, ie firstly the one run for a no ball is "instantly" awarded, then, subsequently, if it goes to the boundary *another* four runs are added.
Whilst this totals five, of course, it's actually one extra plus four extras, not an automatic award of five immediately.

Full credit to the Aussies for surviving this (well, yesterday!) evening, although they were a) a little lucky and b) pushing their luck with a risk of an (optional!) five penalty runs for delay of play!
399 to win, not impossible, but can England get 10 wickets???
