byen.¹

Brit.

/bʌɪ/, U.S.

/baɪ/

Etymology: Variant spelling of by prep. in its substantive use.

1. A term used in various games and sports:

a. Cricket. A run credited to the batting side as an extra (see extra n. 1), scored when a ball delivered by the bowler (not being called a wide) passes the striker without touching the bat or person, and the batters cross safely or the ball reaches the boundary. In early use also †bye ball, †bye run. Cf. boundary-bye at boundary n. 3c, leg bye n. at leg n. Compounds 2a.The definition of the bye has changed slightly over the history of the game. Byes were implied but not explicity named in the Laws until 1884, though leg byes had been defined since 1850. Before c 1850, byes as reckoned on scorecards could include leg-byes and wides.

to steal a bye: to score a bye by starting to run early in anticipation of being able to make one's ground.
