Day 5 began with Brathwaite and Hetmyer at the crease, with both displaying contrasting style. The former looked to be on the defensive while the latter tried to play his shots. It was Brathwaite who fell first, ironically trying to cut a short ball from Yasir but only managing to find Hasan at point. Hetmyer and Hope both looked to be on the positive with the former hitting Yasir for a few boundaries en route to his highest Test score (so far). It wasn't quite enough though, as he was bowled for 25. Amir bowled a full-length delivery which swung back in to the left-hander, he went for the big drive and was bowled. Chase was the new man in and looked relatively comfortable whilst Hope looked to build his innings. However, his innings came to an end at 17 as Hasan got his maiden Test wicket with an in-swinging yorker that trapped him LBW. West Indies went to the break at 73/4 with Pakistan in control.
Soon after the resumption, Pakistan got the fifth wicket as Singh tried to defend one from Yasir and inside-edged it for Babar to take an excellent catch. Chase was the only one who really looked comfortable and unflustered out there. Dowrich was very slow to start and was soon dismissed by Yasir, caught at short-leg - the batsman reviewed and replays showed it may not have clipped the edge but the third umpire ruled the evidence inconclusive and stayed with the on-field decision. Chase was smart in his shot selection, mixing attack with defence where appropriate and lofting Yasir for a six as he got to another fifty. Holder gave him able support as the partnership slowly built up and surpassed fifty while Misbah tried giving a couple of overs to Shafiq and Azhar as the Tea break was taken at 146/6.
There was a missed chance right after the break as Chase drove one back to Hasan but he couldn't hold on to the return catch. Two overs later, the bowler had the breakthrough as he got Holder LBW with a reverse-swinging full-toss as the batsman played around it and missed. Chase was immovable at the crease while Bishoo defended solidly as another partnership began to form. The leg-spinner deflected all the attacks that Pakistan could muster as the batsmen occupied valuable time at the crease. It was Abbas who finally got him after he faced 45 balls with a sharp bouncer that the batsman top-edged for an easy catch. Joseph came to the crease with approximately 20 overs still remaining. Hasan soon got another chance for a return catch off Chase but this time it was hit harder and again the bowler couldn't hang on, injuring himself slightly in the process. Chase entered the 90s but soon edged one behind off Abbas - however, he gained another lease of life as the bowler had overstepped. The tension built as the game entered the last hour of the match. Chase, in the meantime, got to another hundred with a fantastic on-drive for four. He buckled down and resumed the fight against the bowlers but it was Joseph who finally fell to Hasan, caught behind off a tantalising delivery outside off. Approximately nine overs were still remaining as Gabriel came to the crease. On his third delivery, there was a huge appeal for caught behind off Hasan but the umpires turned it down. Pakistan opted for the review and replays showed there may be a slight nick but the third umpire ruled it inconclusive and stuck with the on-field decision. Gabriel showcased his temperament with solid defence as the overs ticked by with Chase trying his best to farm strike as much as possible. Nothing worked for the Pakistan bowlers as the batsmen looked to be defending with ease as it went down to the last five overs. They survived three. Gabriel was on strike for the penultimate over. There was a big appeal on the fourth ball and he was given out caught behind, but reviewed straight away and replays showed it to be a good decision from the batsman, as he didn't edge the ball. The decision was accordingly, overturned. Realising that Chase would be on strike for the last over, Misbah packed all the fielders around the bat for the last ball of Yasir's over. He bowled one outside off and the batsman suddenly went after it, looking for the big shot, inside-edged it and shattered his own stumps, ending Pakistan's lack of Test series win in the Caribbean as a delirious Pakistan team celebrated the most epic of Test matches to bid farewell to Younis and Misbah.
