Resuming on 4-221, the hosts lost two early wickets to Ajaz but took their total to 6-285 at lunch on day two at the ground overlooking the Arabian Sea.
Mayank Agarwal added 30 to his overnight score to reach 150 as India were dismissed for 325.
In his first over of the day, the 33-year-old Patel dismissed Wriddhiman Saha leg before wicket for 27 to complete his third five-wicket haul in an innings in Tests.
Ravichandran Ashwin was out bowled on the next delivery to hand the left-arm spinner his best bowling figures in the format as India were reduced to 6-224.
Those figures were considerably enhanced when No.11 batter Mohammed Siraj was dismissed in the 110th over for four after offering a catch to Rashin Ravindra.
