Ella Toone had given the Lionesses a first-half lead before Sam Kerr equalised for the co-hosts, but goals from Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo set up a decider with Spain on Sunday.
It was an open game from the start and England were denied the lead inside the first 10 minutes, when Mackenzie Arnold saved Georgia Stanway's shot with her right leg following a fine pass from Alex Greenwood.
England edged ahead on 36 minutes when Russo showed tenacity in the penalty area to pull the ball back for Toone to rifle a shot into the top corner.
