I found this an interesting position:

Scoring: IMP

---

1♣-(pass)-pass-(1♥)-All Pass
 
Partner leads ♦T and your K wins this Trick (T-2-K-4)
You return ♣Q taken by the Ace of West (Q-A-5-6), small encourage.
Declarer now plays 2x trump (K-3-4-5; A-J-8-6)
And a 3rd round of ♥ (♥2-♦3-♦6-♥T)
You now play 2 rounds of ♣: 3-2-K-8; 7-9-J-T
This is the position (Clubs are gone; Declarer has 2 hearts remaining)

Scoring: IMP

---

What do you play next?

I assume west overcalled 1♥ directly? Lead a diamond now to remove declarer's entry to the board. He can play the last diamond winner (or lose it), but we ruff and force with the club so he has to lead spades from hand.

Yes, correct.
I found this counter-intuitive (wanting to ruff with top trump) and therefor interesting
