Scoring: IMP

P-P-1♣-1N
P-2♣-P-2♠
P-2N-P-3N

Partner leads spade J to your king and ace. (You don't know why partner led into declarer's four-card suit but let's assume he will be sensible from trick two on.)

Declarer plays four rounds of diamonds and will then cash a spade queen. Plan your defense.

I can play partner for the ♥J. In which case I give declarer AQxx xx KQJx Axx, and pitch two clubs on the diamonds. If he ducks a club to me, I win cheaply and return the heart Q to stop myself being endplayed.

Yep, this was exactly the layout. I think it's also ok if you discard a club and a heart. (My opponent got this wrong.)

Discarding a club and a heart doesn't work, declarer leads a heart covering lho's card and now you are endplayed twice.
