Editing Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method (section)

===Stoppage in first innings===
====Increased target====
In the [[English cricket team in India in 2008–09#4th ODI|4th India–England ODI in the 2008 series]], the first innings was interrupted by rain on two occasions, reducing the match to 22 overs each. India (batting first) made 166/4. The D/L method increased England's target to 198 from 22 overs. As England ''knew'' they had only 22 overs, the expectation is that they could score more runs from those overs than India had from their (interrupted) innings. England made 178/8 from 22 overs, and so the match was listed as "India won by 19 runs (D/L method)".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-eap.cricinfo.com/indveng/engine/current/match/361046.html |work=Cricinfo|publisher=ESPN Sports Media|title=Full Scoreboard of India vs England 4th ODI 2008|date=23 November 2008}}</ref>

During the [[Indian cricket team in South Africa in 2010–11#5th ODI|5th ODI between India and South Africa in January 2011]], rain halted play twice during the first innings. The match was reduced to 46 overs each. South Africa scored 250/9. The D/L method increased India's target to 268. As the number of overs was reduced during South Africa's innings, this method takes into account what South Africa were likely to have scored if they had known throughout their innings that it would only be 46 overs long. The match was listed as "South Africa won by 33 runs (D/L method)".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/463154.html|title= Full Scorecard South Africa v India 5th ODI 2011|date= 23 January 2011|work=Cricinfo|publisher=ESPN Sports Media}}</ref>

====Decreased target====
On [[English cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2014–15#3rd ODI|3 December 2014, Sri Lanka played England]] and batted first, but play was interrupted when Sri Lanka had scored 6/1 from 2 overs. At the restart, both innings were reduced to 35 overs, and Sri Lanka finished on 242/8. D/L reduced England's target to 236 from 35 overs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/750667.html |title=Full Scorecard of Sri Lanka vs England 3rd ODI 2014|date=3 December 2014|work=Cricinfo|publisher=ESPN Sports Media}}</ref> Although Sri Lanka had less resource remaining after the interruption than England would have for their whole innings (about 7% less), they had used up 8% of their resource (2 overs and 1 wicket) before the interruption, so the total resource used by Sri Lanka was still slightly more than England had available, hence the slightly decreased target for England.
