Playing matchpoints. Both you and the Opponents are vulnerable.

Here is your hand:
♠32
♥KQJ8742
♦54
♣AJ

Partner opens the bidding 1♦. The Opponents are silent during the auction. What is your call?

1♥.

You are too strong for a weak jump shift and too weak for a strong jump shift so you can't bid 2♥!

Besides, Partner will bid again and hopefully describe their hand. Then you can better judge what to do.
