Pakistan's fifth and latest dismissal was through Hasan Ali who sent Ravindra Jadeja back to the pavilion.

Earlier Rishabh Pant was dismissed for 39 runs after Shahdab Khan caught the batsman's delivery. 

Hasan Ali claimed India's third wicket, dismissing Suryakumar Yadav, to give the Men in Green a head start.
