Law 38 (Run out) states that a batsman is out if:
(i) he is out of his ground and (ii) his wicket is fairly put down by the action of a fielder.
The batsman that is out of his ground has not had his wicket put down, therefore he is not out. The batsman that has had his wicket put down is in his ground, therefore he is also not out.
