- Australia 383 and 164; beat New Zealand 179 and 196 by 172 runs
- Lyon finishes with 10 wickets after Cam Green’s unbeaten 174
Nathan Lyon has spun Australia to victory in the first Test and the retention of the Trans-Tasman Trophy, with New Zealand feeble in their second innings at the Basin Reserve.
Australia won the Test by 172 runs in a contest likely to be remembered for Cameron Green’s unbeaten first-innings 174, a breakout performance as the youngster looks to cement his place at No 4.
