In a decent MP game partner leads the ♦2 (3/5) to your ace and then follows with the 3 when you play the King (declarer following the 9 and Q).
What do you play at trick 3.

I assume I played K-A in diamonds. I don't want to give suit-preference for spades.
Rainer's spade switch caters for a hand like Kx Jxxxx Qx Kxxx. A club switch caters for Kx Jxxxxx Qx Qxx. Partner also knows that we have a choice of defences, so his ♦3 should show ♣K, but I'd have to be very confident in my partner before I relied on that.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Same for me Gnasher, I'd hope for the higher ♦ if he wanted a ♠ switch so low ♣ it is - Just in case N has Kx and I can make him guess.
