Starc returned to bowl Wahab Riaz for a duck and wrapped up the win by having Yasir Shah sky an easy catch to Bird at mid-on.

Following the Hobart thrashing by South Africa, which surrendered the series, Australia's new-look team have won their last three matches in succession.

In Melbourne it was their senior players leading from the front, with David Warner's run-a-ball 143 and Smith's 17th ton setting a platform before Lyon and Starc brought the match home.

"We're still a work in progress. We're a young team and I'm proud of the boys," Smith added.

"It's been outstanding but we want a clean sweep in Sydney."
