Australia vs New Zealand, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Australia wrap up a clinical 247-run win in Melbourne.Blundell is the last man to fall for 121, going down fighting. It was a one-man show for New Zealand, with Blundell receiving no support from the other end barring a couple of cameos from Henry Nicholls and Mitch Santner. Blundell's record ton gave New Zealand hope, but it was too much left for him to do alone.

Pattinson dented them early on, and Lyon's four ensured the game didn't get to see a fifth day. It was an all-round clinical effort from the hosts, who ended 2019 on a high, going into the Sydney Test with the series sealed. New Zealand have much to think about ahead of the final Test. How will they respond? Thank you for your company today.

Run out! Terrible mix up between Southee and Blundell.Southee sets off, Blundell responds, Blundell retreats and both are caught running in the same direction until Southee gives himself up. Australia are a wicket away, IF Boult doesn't bat.

OUT! Lyon strike takes Australia one step closer.Santner departs. Faint edge to the keeper. Lyon varied his pace and it was the quicker one, lovely length on the line outside off that had Santner unsure whether to play. Ends up poking at it, stuck on the backfoot and edges. The stand of 40 is broken!
