Batsmen Kraigg Brathwaite (60 not out) and Shane Dowrich (60 not out) steered the visitors to their first victory of the tour, after getting whitewashed 3-0 by Pakistan in the previous T20I and ODI series.
"It was my best innings for West Indies in Test matches so far," said Brathwaite in the post-match presentation after receiving man of the match award. Pakistani spinner Yasir Shah received man of the series award.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Test captain Misbahul Haq apologised to the fans and spectators for a poor show.
"It's always disappointing to lose a Test," said Misbah in the post match-presentation. "The series is important but it's not good to lose like that because we lost our momentum."
