The County Championship clash was taking place at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground.

Bailey, 34, would have started the match hoping to help Lancashire turn around their poor start to the season, which has been three defeats.

However, he caught the eye while he was batting as his phone fell from his pocket during a run.

As he attempted to score his first runs of his innings, the mobile fell at the non-striker's end just a few feet from the umpire.

The moment left the commentators stunned.

One said: "Something has dropped out of his pocket. I think it's his mobile phone."

While the other responded: "No way."
