They didn't show the first session here, but I was following the match on CricInfo and I got the impression that Broad could have had Oram a couple of times- beat the bat, nearly had him edging on to the stumps, etc., and troubled him with the bouncer. I don't know what kind of form Tremlett's been in, but Broad has some decent Test form behind him so I think it's a fair enough selection.
