Stokes then claimed figures of 1-17 from two overs as Canterbury clinched an emphatic 134-run win, bowling Otago out for 83.
Stokes, who is unavailable for England selection after being arrested over an incident in Bristol, had scored just 36 runs in his three previous innings.
While Stokes continues to play for New Zealand side Canterbury, England started the third Ashes Test in Perth today with Australia holding a 2-0 lead in the series.
