Another Rebid!

Playing matchpoints. Neither you not the Opponents are vulnerable.

Here is your hand:
♠K764
♥96
♦QJ83
♣T52

Partner opens the bidding 1♥. The Opponents are silent during the auction. We decided last post you were going to respond 1♠. Over your 1♠ bid Partner bids 3♣. What is your call?

3NT.

Partner made a JUMP SHIFT. They have a very strong, unbalanced hand with the round suits.

You want to be in a game (well, YOU don't think you do but Partner says you do!) but you have the pointy suits. You have no fit. But you are balanced and have the other suits stopped so 3NT is probably the best game to be in.
