Kumar Sangakkara laid the foundation for the run chase in Colombo with an innings of 86, and skipper Angelo Mathews completed a nervy chase for 266 runs to give his side a 6-wicket victory with just 2-balls to spare.
Sangakkara hit a sparkling 86 but it was Mathews' unbeaten 51 that carried the hosts to their 266-run victory target with two balls to spare.
In England's innings the Sri Lankan spinners took nine of the 10 wickets.
Game five is in Pallekele on Wednesday.
