Not sure about the 2nd highest contributor, but extas have been the highest contributor as well.
Extras have outscored the highest innings contribution by a batsman on 13 occasions in Test cricket and finished equal-highest on two others. The earliest instance occurred at Lord's in the 1912 Triangular Tournament when South Africa's total of 58 included 17 extras and a top score of just 13.
England provided the most recent during their 2004 Jamaica Test when extras accounted for 60 of their 339 total, two more than their highest individual contribution.
