Sydney, Jan 5: Australia were once again in a commanding position of the third and final Test of the rubber against New Zealand after taking a healthy 243-run lead as the hosts ended the day 3 at 40 for no loss at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) here on Sunday.

After putting a decent 454-runs on board in their first essay, the hosts rode off-spinner Nathan Lyon's (5/68) fifer to bundle out the Kiwis for just 241 runs.
