You're playing a Camrose match (GB home internationals) and North-South have had the cheek to reach 4heart after an unconvincing sequence. Quite why North had not redoubled 1heart I could not guess. Of course you have doubled this because you judge that the cards are not laying well for South. At trick one you cash diamondA and see that when partner follows with diamond2 declarer will have either one or three diamonds.

What do you do at trick two?
