Close of play in cricket (6)

I believe the answer is:

stumps

(Other definitions for stumps that I've seen before include "End of play" , "is completely perplexing" , "Baffles using cricket uprights" , "Baffles on the cricket pitch" , "causes puzzlement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
