An innings is the period of time in which a team is in to bat. In one day cricket this is made up of 50 overs per side.
An over is a spell of bowling consisting of six balls being bowled. the bowler changes at the end of each over and in one day cricket a bowler can bowl a maximum of 10 overs.

A ball, first of all, is when a bowler has bowled the ball to the batsman, and he has either hit it, left it, missed it or got out. The next ball happens once the ball has been returned to the bowler and everybody is ready.
An over is 6 balls in succession. After a full over, a new bowler takes over, and sometimes there is a drink's break.
An innings is when a whole team has finished their batting. In test cricket, this happens when either 10 wickets have been taken or the team declares to voluntarily end the innings. In some matches, limited overs are played to encourage more attacking and interesting cricket, because it means there are only 50 overs in which a team can score as many runs as they can without losing all 10 wickets. 20-20 cricket is even more exciting for this reason, as there are only 20 overs for the team to score as many as they can.

An innings is the time it takes for one team to bat once. In limited over cricket that is a set amount of deliveries (or times the ball is bowled) eg 20 overs in Twenty20 cricket or 40 in matches such as in the world cup. In Test cricket the team bats until they are out (or declare but we won't worry about that!).
A ball is a delivery and an over is 6 balls. Each bowler bowls one over then the other bowler bowls another over from the other end.

A ball is when the bowler bowls to the batsman once.
An over is six balls.
An innings varies, in limited overs cricket (ODI, Pro40, Twenty20 etc) it is the time each team bats for and this is a set number of overs, 50 for an ODI and 20 for a twenty20 match. In test cricket it is the entire time one team bats for (until they are all out or declare - declaring means stopping before they are all out because they think they have enough runs) in test cricket each team has two innings. (one teams bats, then the other one, then the first team bats again)
Hope that helps

Innings-
Cricket in played in sections called innings. In one innings Side A bats and Side B bowls and fields. In the next innings Side B bats and Side A bowls and fields. You have to have at least two innings to have a match.
One Day International games have only two inninings, each side gets one chance to bat and one chance to bowl and field. Test Cricket has at least three.
Balls-
Each time a bowler run up and bowls (tosses the ball at the batsman in a legal way, which the batsman has to try to hit and score runs) that can be called a "ball".
Over-
Bowlers bowl in sets of 6 "balls", so in one (1) "over" a bowler runs up and delivers a ball six times for the batsman to try to hit and score runs.
When an over is finished another bowler can have a chance to bowl an "over".

A standard 'over' consists of a set of 6 balls which a bowler of a fielding team bowls at a batsman/men of a batting team.
A complete innings comprises 50 overs or when all batsmen of batting get bowled.
And, if someone says how many 'balls' left in an over, it means how many balls does a bowler have to bowl to complete an over.
Hope this helps.
