A checking of names (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

roll call

(Other definitions for roll call that I've seen before include "Reading out of a list of names to check attendance" , "Calling out of list of names" , "Method of checking who's present" , "Name check to see who's present" , "Check for presence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
