! Willing to defend

South didn't quite fancy his trump holding enough to defend, so he compromised with 2NT. When dummy came down he could see that he had probably misjudged in the bidding, so it was vital he made at least eight tricks.

How would you have played on West's lead of diamondQ? East wins the ace and switches to spadeJ.
