West leads J♦, which you run around to your Ace. The options are greatly simplified after you advance a spade (luckily you chose the 2), and West shows out.

Spoiler

Insert the J♠, win the ♥ return, cross fingers and play a club to the 10, spade back to the 8♠ and then 10♠, club to the Q♣, draw trumps and play A♣ squeezing West in the red suits.

Intriguing! On Trick3's actual line, East won ♠J with ♠Q and returned a ♥ Even with both ♣ finesses working, how does declarer achieve a red-suit squeeze (unless LHO also has 4 ♣s -- in which case he's triple squeezed). What were the Defenders' hands? IMO, at trick 2, it might be better to win ♠K in dummy. threatening to endplay RHO

Nige1 is correct, there is no red suit squeeze. As it happened, West discarded a diamond early.
