The opponents bid unopposed:

1D-1S
2C-2NT
3NT-all pass

Partner leads the SJ and you see:

dummy

Q96

AKJ5
you
##### K2
##### T872
##### KJT
##### T842

IMO the form of scoring is irrelevant on this hand but I would like to think I would have found the correct defense at IMPs...

With dummy's clubs, you won't be able to keep him off the board, but he can't come to 9 tricks without touching diamonds, so you must shift to the H8 at trick 2 in case partner holds the king. Then when you get in with the DK you can return your spade. The defense takes 3S+1H+1D.
