Countryman Andrew Johnston is one stroke behind and tied for second place with Sweden's Alex Noren.
Tommy Fleetwood, who held a share of the overnight lead, is on nine under alongside fellow Englishman Anthony Wall and Scotland's Scott Jamieson.
Bland, who has never won on the European Tour, opened with a 67 on Thursday and is yet to drop a shot at the Hertfordshire course.
England's former world number one Luke Donald and Spain's former Ryder Cup captain Jose Maria Olazabal both missed the cut.
