We stayed out of this one, but our teammates defended 6[H] by S, after an uncontested auction. West led a small diamond. Plan the play

Ducking the diamond is probably right, since a King underlead against a slam is very common, but at the table I'm sure I'd win and play 3♠'s. If they live, I'd try to figure out who has the 4th spade and play hearts through his partner.

I play low from dummy at 1st trick. If I survive this I play a low trump to the queen.
Kind regards,

I'd like to know the auction to see how likely a diamond lead is. For example, did I bypass a diamond cue? If so I will take the ace and play three rounds of spades. I may make even if RHO ruffs the third round.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
