If in understand correctly, running FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK acquires a global read lock.

Is there any command I can run in the mysql client which shows me that lock is currently acquired?

Try this :

SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS;

It will show owner of locks and waiters (and lot of other stuff related to innodb)
