No.
The batter's feet must be inside the square when hitting the ball and they cannot step outside of the square until after the ball has been bowled.
Sue MansonCoach, England
Yes, although a batter must start with 2 feet within the batting square, they may step out the side of the box to strike the ball. A batter may not step out the front or back of the box on either a good or a no ball until they have either struck, missed or let the ball pass. if they they do so, the batter should be declared out.
