Auction went
W --- E
1NT - 3♥
3NT

1NT = 12-15
3♥ = 3-1-(45), slammish

North leads ♥3 to the king. The ten comes back if you duck (north follows with the 4), followed by the ♥2 if you duck again.

I would play the DQ and hope that the T comes down in 2 rounds. With all due respect, why are you in 3NT? The A9xx holding opposite a stiff should indicate that you want to play this hand in 5m.

Duck twice and run the ♦Q. Hearts seem to be 5-3, so I can make even if south wins both the ♦KT. If not, I still might pick up the ♦Tx.

IMPS and MP different play

IMPS duck 3 rounds of hearts and see of opps hearts are 44--if so
cash the dia ace in order to avoid having the stiff king over the Q or J
and 9 tricks should roll. If heats 53 then fall back on leading the dia Q
attempting to lose a dia to rho if we have to lose one

At MP I would duck hearts twice and lead the dia Q trying to make sure
I lose a dia to rho if I have to lose one anywhere.

My guess: Win the third ♥, discarding 2 ♣s. Finesse ♦, win return. If necessary concede another ♦ to RHO.
If RHO has ♦KTxxx you may have to fall back on a show-up squeeze.

Echoing Ron. I'd play as him, and yes 5♦ is an excellent contract. It ought to be reached when playing such fine methods ;)

It would also be much more exciting due to double guard squeeze possiblities.
