Melbourne - Dashing opener David Warner hit his second century of the series to lead Australia to 264 for eight against New Zealand in the third one-day international at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.
Warner smashed 156 off 128 balls, following his 119 in Canberra on Tuesday to give the Black Caps a testing target to chase down under lights.
Australia have already reclaimed the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy following big wins in Sydney and Canberra.
