Let's say that you win in hand and lead a club to the nine and ten . of course a second trump comes back, all following. You win in dummy and lead clubJ which goes round to the king on your left. Mercifully a low heart comes next so you win heartA, ruff a heart in hand, ruff a club in dummy. clubA doesn't show so you cash the heartK to pitch your club and have to play the diamonds.

How do you approach them?
