• What if there are other things in the post? Images, tables, and so on? How is the "second paragraph" defined exactly? – Krzysiek Dróżdż Commented Jan 4, 2019 at 9:58

You can explode the content of excerpt by dot. For example:

$text = "Morbi consequat tempor augue. Nec fringilla eros auctor scelerisque. Etiam in ullamcorper tellus. Sed ac dui rutrum.";
$pieces = explode(".", $text);
echo $pieces[1]; // get second sentence = Nec fringilla eros auctor scelerisque

Maybe this can help you.
