He should have had O'Rourke with the edge headed straight to Joe Root at first slip, but wicketkeeper Jamie Smith came in the way of it with a dive.
Stokes had Mitchell nicking behind, having the on-field call successfully overturned before O'Rourke hacked one up to hand the England captain his second of the morning.
A contentious moment saw Mitchell Santner's review go in vain as he was bounced out by Stokes.
Santner reckoned that the ball lobbed off his arm guard - as the side-on replay suggested, though it was perilously close to the sweatband at the bottom of his glove, which is what the TV umpire concluded.
Stokes returned 3/13 off his eight overs in the opening session, with the latest of those making him the ninth Englishman to 250 Test wickets.
