Speaking ASA

They do at the beginning of their defensive half of that inning (6FP.9) By rule, the new inning starts immediately upon the execution of the third out of the previous half-inning (1.Inning)

In many cases, the pitcher isn't even in the circle by the time a third of the allotted minute has expired.
