Nathan Lyon took four wickets as Australia thrashed New Zealand by 247 runs to win the second Test here and the series on Sunday with a battling century from opener Tom Blundell proving futile.

But some fighting partnerships spearheaded by Blundell delayed the inevitable until Lyon worked his magic as the pitch deteriorated.
Blundell was last man out for a swashbuckling 121 — his second Test century and his first in two years — as New Zealand was dismissed for 240 with Trent Boult not batting after fracturing his hand in the first innings.
