MPs scoring. East opens a weak NT (12-14) and plays there. You lead the J and the play proceeds as follows:

.S. .W. .N. .E.
SJ S3 SK S8
S2 SA S4 SQ
C6 CJ CQ CA
C3 C5 C2 CK
C9 C8 C7 CT
D4 D2 D3 C4
D9 D5 H4 DA
DK D8 S7 D3


Bold represents card won, underline is card led.

You are now on lead at the following position:



What do you do now? Int+ please hide answers.

Could you put the plays into the hand diagram? It would be easier to follow.

In general I'd agree, though simple counting of declarer's hand gives the right answer in this case, does it not...

The idea here is for novices to follow the play, and it's not so easy this way.

I would put the play in a hand diagram, but I don't know how to add play while hiding the other 2 hands. My attempts at adding "&p=...." have come up with the next button still disabled.

I think my response gives it away, so despite considering myself an "advanced beginner with intermediate conventional knowledge and intermediate card sense", I'll conceal my answer. I think OP doesn't even need to specify that opponents' 1NT means 12-14, if the goal is to have a chance of setting opponents.
