Former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood kept his cool on the hottest day of the year in England by hitting a last-ball six to seal a dramatic four-wicket win for Surrey against Gloucestershire in their domestic Twenty20 tournament clash at The Oval on Wednesday.

With temperatures in London rising to 36.7 degrees Celsius, the 40-year-old Mahmood showed he still knew how to finish with a flourish as his unbeaten 22 off 14 balls saw Surrey to victory

After the match, Mahmood said: "I knew when I connected that it would be six."
