You need to guard against a 4-0 trump break in either hand. After East's 2spade bid she is more likely to have diamond shortage, and so there will be no excuse for cashing diamondA at trick two. No, a diamond to the king is correct and East duly shows out. You follow by leading diamond10 from hand, West declining to cover.

How will you complete the job?
