If you didn't get this right now then you'd have been struggling at the table! The winning play is to insert the ten, and when this wins you can give partner a diamond ruff. He will then underlead his clubs to put you in with clubQ and a further diamond ruff will be the fourth defensive trick. With two aces to come that will be one down..

What about North's performance?
