It is only 4 runs the the higher score counts not both and they get an extra ball as normal with the no ball going against the bowler as normal.

5 is scored if the ball hits a helmet the fielding side are using,that's why they tend to be placed directly behind the stumps,less chance of being hit.

Back to the game if we can get them out early today, I'd bat again get another 200 to 250 and declare. If the Aussies then get ahead with Giles turning it now, imagine what Warne could do on the last day. Problem is the weather forecast isn't too good for today.
