You open with a 16-18 1NT, South overcalls 3diamond and partner bids 3NT. No doubt you are wishing he could have doubled 3diamond instead, but most people play that as take-out, so you must do you best to make nine tricks if you are not to lose heavily on the deal.

How will you play on the lead of diamondK?
