Catcher interference!

[docs67]

Is it an imediate dead ball when the batter swings at a pitch, the catcher reaches for the pitch with gloved hand, the bat hits the catcher's glove and the ball goes into fair territory?

Or do we have a delayed dead ball, batter gets first, runners that advanced go back to original bases and score only if forced in?
