In the actual layout is true. But allow me, is it reasonable at the table? If E has KT8x, you have given him the 9th trick. Why not play on spades, then? At the table, I cashed the ♠J [partner would unblock the T] and returned a club.
What to lead Against 3NT

Without a club lead, if declarer plays well, there is no defense.

You really claim there's no defense after this?

I do. Go ahead.
It seemed pretty evident (to me) based on the last 3 quotes that you were saying there is no way to beat this contract on a spade lead. This implies that double dummy, it is not possible.
I'm not saying you should necessarily find this defense.

I did not found the defense at the table.
I've been thinking about this hand for the last 2 days, and I'm in the dark as I was at the table.
This is also the reason for my bblack/white statements (which were obviously untrue: if partner has the intermediates in heart, a heart return beats easily).
However, not double dummy, what would you have returned?
