At this point partner becomes the Captain. You have described an invitational (9 point) hand with 5-5 in the Majors. Partner's next bid should set the contract wherever he chooses. In this case, with a maximum 1NT opener and 3 ♠s he picks 4♠. Note that you must have at least one Major suit fit since partner cannot have a doubleton in both.  Deal 7
