Australia beat New Zealand in Adelaide day-night Test

Australia sealed a 2-nil victory in the three-match series against New Zealand with a three-wicket win in a gripping inaugural day-night Test in Adelaide.

Set 187 to win after bowling the Kiwis out in the first session on day three, the hosts were made to work hard for every run.

Trent Boult took 5 for 60 but Shaun Marsh's 49 and 28 each from Adam Voges and Mitchell Marsh proved decisive.

Josh Hazlewood took a career-best 6 for 70 to help dismiss New Zealand for 208.
