'obvious' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'set of six deliveries before end of test?' is the wordplay.
'set of six deliveries' becomes 'over' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'end of' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'test' is 't'.
'over'+'t'='OVERT'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overt that I've seen before include "Open and obvious" , "Done in an obvious way" , "Obvious, patent" , "totally visible" , "Open to view" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
