You have to lead small towards J8, playing East for doubleton T (either HT or Tx)

If an honour comes up from East, play the 8 underneath it and then run the J on the next round hoping to pin the T.

If East plays a small card, finesse the 8 hoping to lose to an honour, then lead the J hoing to pin the T.

If the T appears from East cover with the Jack and now you have a choice - You can run the 8 hoping East had Tx or you can play the A hoping East had HT.
