Grant Stewart's match-winning six off the last ball has been described as one of those "moments you dream of as a cricketer" by Kent captain and former English representative Joe Denly.
The Hunter-bred all-rounder said "luckily today it came off for me" after his clutch play saw the country XI defeat Yorkshire by three wickets at Canterbury on Saturday (AEST) and keep alive their Royal London Cup finals chances.
Stewart (28 not out) cleared the fence over squad leg to reach 7-297, a revised 45-over total based on Duckworth Lewis, having declined a single just a ball earlier.

"They're moments you dream of as a cricketer, hitting a six off the last ball to win a game for your team," Denly told Kent media.
"Credit to Grant, he works very hard at his batting and especially his power game and moments like that make it all worthwhile.
"If there was one player I had to pick to hit a six off the last ball, I'd have Grant Stewart every day."
