Lancashire cricketer Tom Bailey encountered a bizarre moment during the County Championship division two match against Gloucestershire in Manchester. With Bailey in the process of completing a run and reaching the non-striker's end, his mobile dropped on the pitch while he was running back to the striker's end as a video of the same surfaced on social media.
Bailey, 34, a new-ball bowler, was likely batting with the mobile in his trousers' pocket and it dropped midway through the pitch while running. A few fans in the comments section of the video were strongly suggesting that the cricketer should be fined for his actions.

Gloucestershire dominant after bowling Lancashire out for 450
Meanwhile, Gloucestershire have been quite dominant in their response after bowling Lancashire out for 450 with the latter's innings lasting 128 overs. While Gloucestershire skipper Cameron Bancroft fell early for 18, his opening partner Ben Charlesworth scored a credible 43.
Nevertheless, the bulk of the contribution came from Oliver Price, who peeled off a century and is still unbeaten on 18. Miles Hammond was unfortunate to miss out on a well-deserved hundred after getting out for 97. The returning Cameron Green is currently batting on 2 with Price.
