WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) Adam Voges completed his second test double century Sunday and was the last man out for 239 as Australia was dismissed for 562, with a 379-run lead over New Zealand, on the third day of the first cricket test.

Voges was out, caught and bowled by off-spinner Mark Craig, shortly before lunch after batting for 504 minutes. It was more than 1,000 minutes - and 614 runs - since he was last dismissed in a test match.

Voges' innings, the third-highest by an Australian batsman in New Zealand, followed his unbeaten 269 and 106 in tests against the West Indies in December. When he was dismissed his average in his 14th test match since his debut in June at age 36 stood at 97.46.
