By Saurabh Sharma December 14, 2019 • 20:48 PM View: 1140

Perth, Dec 14: Tim Southee and Neil Wagner led a fightback for New Zealand with the ball but Australia increased their lead to 417 runs on the third day of their first Test against New Zealand on Saturday at the Perth Stadium. Mitchell Starc completed his five wicket haul earlier in the day and Nathan Lyon took two wickets as Australia dismissed New Zealand for 166 runs.

Strong partnerships for the first and second wicket then allowed Australia to move closer to taking a lead in the three-Test series.
