Regretfully it is indeed the very boring expression "Start of Play". There does not appear to be any other expression for it as there is for Close of Play ("Stumps").
Here is an extract from the laws of the noble game :
Law 16 (Start of play; cessation of play)
1. Call of Play
The umpire at the bowler's end shall call Play at the start of the match and on the resumption of play after any interval or interruption.
2. Call of Time
The umpire at the bowler's end shall call Time on the cessation of play before any interval or interruption of play and at the conclusion of the match. See Law 27 (Appeals).

To describe the start of play eg kick off 3pm, in cricket the term would be Wickets pitched 3pm.
