Lyon snared two wickets in four balls in his first over of the third Ashes test against England at Adelaide Oval, a venue where he was once a groundsman.
The fresh victims moved Lyon's career tally to 564 Test wickets, one more than paceman Glenn McGrath.
Only legspinner Shane Warne - with 708 - has claimed more test scalps for Australia.
