Everyone knows Pakistan is unpredictable but you can clearly see in this match they need to chase a small target and have the full 5th day to do it. At the moment they only need 86 runs and they have 51 overs in hand. They have lost 5 wickets which can be a little concerning but I think it doesn't matter at this stage. Mind you they are also playing in their homeground and are aware of the conditions.
That's why I said they are unpredictable and always bet wisely when Pakistan is playing.
Anyways its historic test, on day one record number of runs were scored. England taking the risk by declaring there innings and giving a target of 344 runs.
This was the third win of England in a test match in Pakistan. Ben stokes after taking over as a captain of the English test side has changed the team completely. Pakistani batters were struggling against pacers but when spinners were introduced they were going after them. This is when a bulk of runs were scored by them. After lunch the agressive fielding and continuous pace attack destroyed the Pakistani batting line up. 

England captain Ben Stokes took the risk. And he gave a target of just 342 runs. So Pakistan and England had equal chances of winning the match. But the Pakistani batsmen could not stand in front of England's experienced batsmen on the last day. No batsman could stay at the crease for long. If Imam Ul Haque or Rizwan would have been able to score a century then maybe Pakistan would have been able to win the match. But the Pakistani players could not stand in front of the outstanding bowling of Robinson and Anderson. Robinson and Anderson took four wickets each.
