Partner leads ©6 at trick 1 and it looks like lowest promising an Honour so when declarer tries the  10  you play the Jack and as expected now play cash the Ace before exiting with a Diamind. Declarer plays a Club which partner wins with the Ace and cashes the winning Heart (now established with no more trumps left on the table).

Partner now plays Ace and another Spade and you win second Spade now knowing partner has none left. Declarer tries the 7 and partner overruffs with the 8. Partner will make one more trick with the Diamond Queen and you have defeated the contract by three tricks with your patient defence.

NB Justice was not seen to be  done on this hand as the bidding was exemplary. Perhaps South could have saved a trick, had he ruffed with the ¨9.
