====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.
