East starts off the auction with a 1♠ opening bid, South intervenes with a takeout double and West jump supports their partner’s opening bid with a response of 3♠ (either 10-12 balanced or 8 losing tricks). North passes (someone must have a poor hand!) and East raises to game which ends the bidding. South starts off with a top diamond lead, which presumably they will continue at trick 2. With 2 certain diamond losers and 2 likely heart losers (South is likely to have the missing points here given their double), what is your plan to try and make your contract here?
