    Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon claims to have unearthed a bowling Holy Grail - the secret to getting out New Zealand batter Kane Williamson

    Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon claims to have unearthed a bowling Holy Grail - the secret to getting out New Zealand batter Kane Williamson


    The hosts are 111 for three in pursuit of 369 to win the first cricket test at Wellington with Rachin Ravindra 56 and Daryl Mitchell 12.

    Lyon has figures of two for 27 from 16 overs to back up four wickets in the first dig.

    He had Williamson caught for nine by Steve Smith at leg slip, setting an onside trap for the right-hander with the turning ball from around the wicket.
