With such a mixed day, it is difficult to say which team goes into day 5 more confident of winning the game. A draw looks a bleak possibility at the moment and if momentum is a vital factor, Pakistan carry plenty of that heading into day 5 courtesy of the final hour of play on day 4.

But the hosts have an 183 run lead on a slow and tricky wicket. They have bowled quite well in the series and there is no reason why they cannot do the same on a final day wicket.

While Bishoo and Chase have been modest as spinners, a fifth day wicket could bring out the best in them. Gabriel's skiddy pace and Holder's awkward bounce is also a factor. All in all, a gripping day awaits fans in Bridgetown.
