Hasan, Yasir put Pakistan on top
Medium pacer Hasan Ali and leg-spinner Yasir Shah took five wickets apiece to set Pakistan on the victory path on the third day of the first Test against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
Hasan took his maiden five-wicket haul with 5 for 45 while Yasir finished with 5 for 110 as New Zealand collapsed from 220 for 4 to 249 all out soon after tea.
That left Pakistan with 176 to win the Test and at close they were 37 for no loss.
