The home team then picked up five wickets as Haryana finished the day at 103 for five, requiring another 121.
J and K had gained a first-innings lead after bowling out Haryana for 291 in response to its 340.
The home team failed to build on a good start in the second innings with openers Suryansh Raina (38) and Jiyad Magrey (16) putting on 55 runs before Yadav got into the act.
He got the key wickets of Raina, Shubham Khajuria (9) and Shubham Pundir (12) to trigger a collapse.
Captain Parvez Rasool looked good till he was run-out for 29 by Chaitanya Bishnoi.
In the second innings, Haryana lost wickets at regular intervals as Rasool (3 for 35) dismissed first-innings centurion Pramod Chandila (1), apart from opener Himanshu Rana (24) and Yashu Sharma (24).
