Cook fell to Boult for the third consecutive time in the series
When bad light stopped play on the fourth day of the second Test between England and New Zealand, Joe Root looked like a man who could certainly use a drink when he returned to the haven of his hotel room.
New Zealand are on the back foot against England but insist playing for a draw in the second Test is a tactic they're yet to consider.
"If we can take 4-5 wickets in that session, we can put them under some pressure".
New Zealand are 42-0 in reply to England's target, trailing by 340 runs.
He had Malan caught at mid-wicket by Henry Nicholls for 53 to start a tumble that saw six wickets fall for 90 runs before England declared.
Root was one of four batsmen to record a half-century in England's second innings but they never dominated the Blackcaps bowlers.
Left-arm spinner Jack Leach also caused some problems, finding decent spin in his opening three overs, which will encourage England going into the fifth day.
It continues his barren run with the bat, as he's failed to pass 50 in 18 innings aside from his two double centuries against West Indies and Australia.
Luckily for him, his poor score in this innings shouldn't stop England from levelling the series in New Zealand.

New Zealand team celebrates a wicket.
England have lost 10 of their past 12 overseas Tests and have not won away from home since October 2016. "The work that Tom and Jeet did tonight and the work the entire batting group has to do tomorrow will be a good challenge but one we're looking forward to".
That dismissal ended a run of the first 23 wickets falling to just four bowlers - England's Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson, and New Zealand's Trent Boult and Tim Southee.
Root didn't think of sending out his last man, James Anderson, who would take the new ball after the declaration.
Colin de Grandhomme's gentle medium pace did the most damage and he finished with figures of 4-94.
Root then edged Neil Wagner to wicketkeeper BJ Watling in the next over and from their England collapsed from 262/3 to 312/8.
Sure, scoring hasn't always been easy, and the new ball will zip around for up to 25 overs, but the pitch isn't breaking down and doing anything hugely out of the ordinary.
England captain Joe Root wasn't impressed, particularly as play won't start earlier on Tuesday to makeup for lost time.
The tourists must win to square the two-match series after their heavy loss in Auckland and have given themselves a shot entering the final two days at Hagley Oval.
