Nathan Lyon has spun Australia to victory in the first Test against a feeble New Zealand at the Basin Reserve, retaining the Trans-Tasman Trophy for another three years.
Australia won the Test by 172 runs in a contest that will be remembered for Cam Green's unbeaten first-innings 174, a breakout performance as the 24-year-old looks to cement his place at No.4.
Green was the only man capable of a century in Wellington, where the Lyon-led Australian attack suffocated New Zealand on their home patch.
