What happens when the striker hits the ball, which then splits into two. One half crosses the boundary whilst the other half breaks the wicket. Is the striker Bowled Out?

This situation was considered so unusual that it has been omitted by all the recent editors of Tom Smith.
I do recall reading about such an incident and guess that it was probably in some edition of Gerald Brodribb's Next Man In.
Can anyone cite the example?

I suppose each new generation of umpires goes through questions such as this.

SIR,
Ball splitting into two pieces, does not have its original existence and neither the batsman is out bowled nor the boundary will be considered.
Ball will be counted as one in the over as the striker has received the ball and thereafter it was hit and torn into two pieces. In other words, Either umpire will call and signal dead ball.
