Second run completed before the ball crossed boundary line. So total 6 runs (2+4) as per rules.
Rule 19.8 states: "If the boundary results from an overthrow or from the wilful act of a fielder, the runs scored shall be any runs for penalties awarded to either side, and the allowance for the boundary, and the runs completed by the batsmen, together with the run in progress if they had already crossed at the instant of the throw or act."
As per ICC rule 19.8, second run is in progress, so only 5 runs allowed. Biggest blinder from Umpire
