Melbourne, Dec 29: Nathan Lyon and James Pattinson kept Tom Blundell's brilliant hundred in a shade to help Australia win the second Test by 247 runs and take an unassaible 2-0 lead in the three-match rubber against New Zealand on the fourth day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) here on Sunday.

Chasing a stiff 488 for victory, New Zealand were reduced to 35/3 as Pattinson (3/35) claimed three wickets in nine balls including the one of skipper Kane Williamson for a duck.
