Close of play is fine. As long as everyone plays cricket.
The problem with 'close of play' is it 1800, or is it when the extra overs have been bowled, or is it once the natural light gives way to floodlight in poor conditions and nobody really knows what light meter reading the umpires took.
I usually just say 'stumps'.
(Everyone is as confused as before but I have a frisson that nobody else can carry!)
