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 phone was picked up by bowler Josh Shaw but it was not clear if he handed it to the umpire or back to Bailey.
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.”

It was then said: “As much as it is hilarious and we are laughing about it, I almost wonder if that’s going to have to be reported.
“The fact that he was out in the middle, with a mobile phone in his pocket haha.”
The moment was caught on camera and has gone viral on social media.
Fans could not help but see the funny side as they shared their reaction.
Former England cricket ace Alex Tudor reacted with a face-palm emoji.
A fan wrote: “So village.”
A second commented: “Rubbish thigh pad.”
Another added: “Must be obsessed with counting his steps.”
Despite having his phone in his pocket, Bailey managed to score a respectable 22 runs not out.
Lancashire finished their first innings with a score of 450 runs with Marcus Harris the pick with 167 runs off 269 balls.
