when I was/am at bowling alley, should I say: I was bowling that time.../ I am bowling right now...

Hi,
Think you have gone bowling and someone calls you, is it true to say "I am bowling write now" ?
Or think someone says "why didn't you answer my call?", is it true to say "I was bowling that time" ?

If not, what should I say?

1. I'm at the bowling alley. I'm in the middle of a match.
2. I was bowling at the time.

Hi.
Think 1. Imagine you have gone are bowling and someone calls you. Is it true correct to say "I am bowling write right now"?
Or 2. think Imagine someone [later] says "Why didn't you answer my call?" Is it true correct to say "I was bowling that time"?

If not, what should I say?

Note my corrections above. Learn the difference between "true" and "correct" when talking about language.

1. That response is OK.
2. That is grammatically correct but very unnatural. We'd say "I was bowling when you rang".

An American would probably say, "I was bowling when you called."
