A trump must be right here - declarer obviously has diamondA and has ducked to retain communication in the hope that you find a "masterly" switch. Declarer wins in hand with spade9, cashes diamondA, ruffs a diamond (partner playing diamond2, diamond6) and leads heartJ. You cover and again your card holds the trick.
