Let us presume a fielder has got a hand to the ball before it hits the opposing wicket.Else no one is out.
Since you have not crossed each other your partner will be out.
When both are in different half (before or after crossing)the batsman in that half will be out.
Only when both are in the same half it will be more difficult to decide.Usually one of the batsman will get into the crease or move to the other half to make it easy.That is how some one sacrifices his wicket.

The first answer is correct, with the provision that the ball must have struck the bowler or any other fielder on their body with the exception of external protection eg a helmet. If no contact has been made then it should be given not out.
However if the ball strikes the wickets at the bowlers end, and breaks the stumps you may still run. If in attempting this run any fielder may run you out by lifting a stump out of the ground and holding the ball onto it whilst the nearest batsman is out of his crease he is run out.

Neither are out. The wicket has been broken by chance. If the bowler had thrown or deflected onto the wicket, or a close in feild, then you would be deemed out. If the Non Striking Batsman had deflected the ball onto the stumps he would be out if he was outside of his ground when the bails fell. Otherwise no one can be deemed out at that end of the pitch until the ball is dead.

The only batsman who could be out is the non-striking batsman, as the wicket is broken down his end, and you haven't crossed half-way down the pitch. However, you are only out in this circumstance if the ball touched the bowler's hand on the way to the stumps. (constituting a run out) Otherwise (i.e. if it didn't touch a fielder's hand), it's not out.

In the situation explained by you, nobody will be out as a run out when the ball hits the wickets at the other end can take place only ifthe ball is deflected to the stump by a fielder or the ball has touched the fielder befiore hitting the stump

it would be your partner, he is nearest to the end when the stumps are broken. Whoever is nearest to the end where the stumps are borken is the out batsman, regardless of whether they were runnign awayfrom or towards the broken stumps.
However, in this situation, this can only ever be given out if the ball makes contact with a member of the fielding side, usualy the bowler, before hitting the stumps. If the ball hit them directly then it shouldn't be given out. The only penalty to the batting side is the almost definite deprival of a four down the ground

If a fielder touches the ball before it hit the wickets the other batsman as you had not crossed and it hit his end.
If you hit the ball and it hits the stumps at the other end no one.

your first answer is that the non striker will be out but before this I want to tell you that in the laws of cricket ,if you have played a shot straight down the ground and the ball has hit the opposite stump with non striker out of the ground ,the non striker will be out only if the bowl had touched the bowler's hand and then after it had hit the stumps.If the ball has not touched the bowler's hand no one will be out.
