Rho opens 1D (usually unbalanced) and you hold

You call 2NT which you play as intermediate values plus LHO passes and partner calls 3H

Now what

I'm a bit surprised that 3H came around to me, where are the spades and the other diamonds?
Now I control-bid 3S fixing trumps in hearts and showing slam interest.

What is 2C, forcing?

I double, and bid 4D/3H , or 6H depending on where and with whom I am playing

You've got more trust in your oppos and partner than I have

I guess 2N is Unusual.
I'd start control bidding with 3♠ (has to be shortage). This also implies extra shape given the intermediate values, say 13~17 & at worst 6 mod. losers?
