You lead diamond5 against South's 3NT and dummy wins with king as partner plays the ten and declarer the eight. A heart is led from dummy and you win with the queen after seeing the three from partner and ten from South.

Neither minor suit appears to be a good source of nourishment for the defence, so what do you do now?
