At the table North rebid 3heart, South converted to 3NT and West started doubling. North retreated to 4spade, but West finished with another double and led a trump.

Despite the unconvincing sequence, 4spade is not a totally unreasonable contract, but the defence appear to have found the best lead. How do you play when dummy's spadeJ holds?
