Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath (6-74) took his eighth five-wicket haul to spin England out for just 193 and give the hosts a 125-run first innings lead.
Sri Lanka then crumbled to 84-5 in their second knock, four of those wickets falling to off-spinner Graeme Swann, to hand back some of its advantage.
