East-West were a occasional partnership and although they were playing Crowhurst (range/support enquiry) over 1NT, they had no agreement about West's 2diamond. Nevertheless East showed good appreciation of his values and the excellent game was soon reached.

How would you have played 4spade on the lead of heart4?
