Who bats?

[BigBlue4u]

Two out, runner at second.  2-2 on the batter. (B3)   On the next pitch, he swings and misses for strike three.  However, the catcher drops the ball.  Meanwhile, the runner from second attempts to advance to third and is thrown out.  The question is, who is the lead off batter the next inning.  B3 or B4?

B4

batters at bat ended when he became a runner.  Fact that play was made on r2 (why; who knows) means nothing.

Is next inning the same as next half inning?

Approximately 50% of the time.
