How do cricket wickets fall?

In cricket, a 'wicket' falling means a batter is out. Ollie Robinson 'trapped' Azan Awais, likely meaning 'leg before wicket' (LBW), where the ball would have hit the stumps if the batter's leg wasn't in the way. He then 'bowled' Abdullah Shafique, which means the bowler hit the stumps directly with the ball.
