One shot behind Lewis, who stands one under after a 74, are European Tour regulars Simon Dyson and Robert Rock.
Staffordshire's Rock, who plays out of The Belfry, was on level par after following a 69 with a second-round 71.
Dyson, by contrast, went through mixed emotions, having briefly led on his own on five under, only to slump to a 72.
The man from York birdied his first three holes of the day before dropping one at the fourth.
He then stayed at four under for the next eight holes until the 13th, where he began a damaging run of four dropped shots in five holes.
Banbury's Gary Boyd and Richard McEvoy, from Shoeburyness, are one shot further back on one over.
Boyd followed his opening 71 with a second round 70, while McEvoy, who shot 69 on the first day and had fallen back to three over, birdied 16 and 17 to see himself safely through to the weekend.
Newcastle's Kenneth Ferrie shot a second successive 71 to make it on two over, the same mark as Justin Rose, who carded a level-par 70.
Simon Khan and Paul Casey scraped through to the weekend by just a shot on three over.
After his 17 first-day pars in an opening 71, Khan fired three birdies, but also suffered three bogeys and a double at the short third in his 72.
Casey made three front nine birdies in a one-under 69 as he recovered well from his first round 74.
As for the 17 Englishmen who failed to make the cut, undoubtedly the two biggest casualties were Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, numbers one and two in the world.
Donald bogeyed his last four holes for a five-over 75 to miss by three shots, while Westwood was kept sweating right until the end of the day before finding out that his second round 73 was just one shot too many.
In that same group on four over was world number 56 Ross Fisher, who matched Westwood's two round score of 71-73-144.
Hartlepool's Graeme Storm was also a shot too many, a double bogey at the last proving his undoing as he signed for a 74.
And South Yorkshireman Danny Willett, on his Open debut, could not maintain the promise of a first day 69 as he fell away with a 75 to also miss out on four over.
A shot behind Donald were his Ryder Cup team-mate Ian Poulter, the world number 16, and Somerset club pro Lee Corfield on seven over. And it is generally believed that clubs also plays an ignorable role in their success, such as the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 Driver, is regarded as the most useful one and sole mate. It is now quiet popular at the golf clubs for sale.
After his first day 69, Poulter rattled up nine bogeys as he slumped to a 78.
As for Corfield, the man from Burnham & Berrow dropped three shots in his first four holes en route to a disappointing five-over 75.
